These are deprecated interfaces for atomic and synchronization operations, provided for compatibility with legacy code. New code should use the C11 <stdatomic.h> interfaces described in stdatomic(3). These functions are thread and multiprocessor safe. For each function, there is a version which incorporates a memory barrier and another version which does not. Barriers strictly order memory access on a weakly-ordered architecture such as ARM. All loads and stores executed in sequential program order before the barrier will complete before any load or store executed after the barrier. On some platforms, such as ARM, the barrier operation can be quite expensive. Most code will want to use the barrier functions to ensure that memory shared between threads is properly synchronized. For example, if you want to initialize a shared data structure and then atomically increment a variable to indicate that the initialization is complete, then you must use OSAtomicIncrement32Barrier() to ensure that the stores to your data structure complete before the atomic add. Likewise, the con- sumer of that data structure must use OSAtomicDecrement32Barrier(), in order to ensure that their loads of the structure are not executed before the atomic decrement. On the other hand, if you are simply incrementing a global counter, then it is safe and potentially much faster to use OSAtomicIncrement32(). If you are unsure which version to use, prefer the barrier variants as they are safer. The logical (and, or, xor) and bit test operations are layered on top of the OSAtomicCompareAndSwap() primitives. There are four versions of each logical operation, depending on whether or not there is a barrier, and whether the return value is the result of the operation (eg, OSAtomicOr32() ) or the original value before the operation (eg, OSAtomicOr32Orig() ). The memory address theValue must be "naturally aligned", i.e. 32-bit aligned for 32-bit operations and 64-bit aligned for 64-bit operations. Note that this is not the default alignment of the int64_t in the iOS ARMv7 ABI, the OSAtomic_int64_aligned64_t type can be used to declare variables with the required alignment. The OSAtomicCompareAndSwap() operations compare oldValue to *theValue, and set *theValue to newValue if the comparison is equal. The compar- ison and assignment occur as one atomic operation. OSAtomicTestAndSet() and OSAtomicTestAndClear() operate on bit (0x80 >> ( n & 7)) of byte ((char*) theAddress + ( n >> 3)). They set the named bit to either 1 or 0, respectively. theAddress need not be aligned. The OSMemoryBarrier() function strictly orders memory accesses in a weakly ordered memory model such as with ARM, by creating a barrier. All loads and stores executed in sequential program order before the barrier will complete with respect to the memory coherence mechanism, before any load or store executed after the barrier. Used with an atomic operation, the barrier can be used to create custom synchronization proto- cols as an alternative to the spinlock or queue/dequeue operations. Note that this barrier does not order uncached loads and stores. On a uniprocessor, the barrier operation is typically optimized into a no-op. RETURN VALUES
The arithmetic operations return the new value, after the operation has been performed. The boolean operations come in two styles, one of which returns the new value, and one of which (the "Orig" versions) returns the old. The compare-and-swap operations return true if the com- parison was equal, ie if the swap occured. The bit test and set/clear operations return the original value of the bit. SEE ALSO

Most of these functions first appeared in Mac OS 10.4 (Tiger). The "Orig" forms of the boolean operations, the "int", "long" and "ptr" forms of compare-and-swap first appeared in Mac OS 10.5 (Leopard). Darwin Mar 7, 2016 Darwin
