Vintage decor is having a big moment in interior design, as folks seek more unique pieces. One retro trend that deserves a comeback is atomic decor. This design embodied the optimism and innovation of ...
You need atomic<bool> to avoid race-conditions. A race-condition occurs if two threads access the same memory location, and at least one of them is a write operation. If your program contains race-conditions, the behavior is undefined. There are two atomic CAS operations in C++11: atomic_compare_exchange_weak and atomic_compare_exchange_strong.
Atomic Era Decor, According to cppreference: The weak forms of the functions are allowed to fail spurio... In addition (and more importantly), note that std::atomic must support all operations for all possible data types, so even if you declare a ten million byte struct, you can use compare_exchange on this. AOL: The Retro Decor Trend That Deserves A Major Comeback (It's Much More Valuable Now) The Retro Decor Trend That Deserves A Major Comeback (It's Much More Valuable Now) Objects of atomic types are the only C++ objects that are free from data races; that is, if one thread writes to an atomic object while another thread reads from it, the behavior is well-defined. In addition, accesses to atomic objects may establish inter-thread synchronization and order non-atomic memory accesses as specified by std::memory_order. I had a 25-hr debugging marathon in < 2 days and then wrote this answer here.
Atomic Era Decor, See also the bottom of this question for more info. and documentation on 8-bit variables having naturally atomic writes and naturally atomic reads for AVR 8-bit microcontrollers when compiled with the gcc compiler which uses the AVR-libc library.
