SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/atomic.h>
void
atomic_dec_32(volatile uint32_t *ptr);
void
atomic_dec_uint(volatile unsigned int *ptr);
void
atomic_dec_ulong(volatile unsigned long *ptr);
void
atomic_dec_ptr(volatile void *ptr);
void
atomic_dec_64(volatile uint64_t *ptr);
uint32_t
atomic_dec_32_nv(volatile uint32_t *ptr);
unsigned int
atomic_dec_uint_nv(volatile unsigned int *ptr);
unsigned long
atomic_dec_ulong_nv(volatile unsigned long *ptr);
void *
atomic_dec_ptr_nv(volatile void *ptr);
uint64_t
atomic_dec_64_nv(volatile uint64_t *ptr);
DESCRIPTION
The atomic_dec family of functions decrement (by one) the variable referenced by ptr in an atomic fashion.
The *_nv() variants of these functions return the new value.
The 64-bit variants of these functions are available only on platforms that can support atomic 64-bit memory access. Applications can check
for the availability of 64-bit atomic memory operations by testing if the pre-processor macro __HAVE_ATOMIC64_OPS is defined.
SEE ALSO atomic_ops(3)HISTORY
The atomic_dec functions first appeared in NetBSD 5.0.

From reading my C book, Im aware that the integers have a maximum value which depends on what type of processor you are using (since they use 16-bit or 32-bit instructions).
Now I know pointers are very flexible, since they can reference anything, but in the case of integer pointers, can they... (4 Replies)
Hi,
I am trying to convert 32-bit code to 64-bit.
I have defined function
int main()
{
int* l;
size_t len1;
fun(len1);
return 0;
}
void fun(int* ptr)
{
cout<<"\nsizeof(ptr)"<<sizeof(ptr);
}
However while compiling getting error as :
Error: Formal argument ptr... (2 Replies)
void disptree(node *ptr)
{
if ((ptr->left) !=NULL)
disptree(ptr->left);
cout<<"Position:"<<ptr->pos<<" Data:"<<ptr->data<<endl;
if ((ptr->right)!=NULL;
disptree(ptr->right);
}
i'm getting a segmentation fault at the red line. i cannot understand what's the problem.... (3 Replies)
Hey Everyone,
I have a check similar to this:
if (ptr)
{
delete ptr;
ptr = null;
}When I'm debugging in AIX (using dbx), if I attempt to print the value of 'ptr' it says "ptr is not defined" - however, it still enters that if block. So, I'm getting segfaults on the delete... (8 Replies)
