InterlockedExchange
The InterlockedExchange function atomically exchanges a pair of 32-bit values. The function prevents
more than one thread from using the same variable simultaneously.
LONG InterlockedExchange(
LPLONG Target,
| // address of 32-bit value to exchange
| LONG Value
| // new value for the LONG value pointed to by Target
| );
|
|
Parameters
Target
Address of the LONG value to exchange. The function sets this LONG value to Value, and returns its prior value.
Value
Specifies a new value for the LONG value pointed to by Target.
Return Values
The function returns the prior value of the LONG value pointed to by Target.
Remarks
The functions InterlockedExchange, InterlockedCompareExchange, InterlockedDecrement, InterlockedExchangeAdd, and InterlockedIncrement provide a simple mechanism for synchronizing access to a variable that is
shared by multiple threads. The threads of different processes can use this
mechanism if the variable is in shared memory.
The variable pointed to by the Target parameter must be aligned on a 32-bit boundary; otherwise, this function will
fail on multiprocessor x86 systems.

Nostalgia .Net |
|
.Net is powerful, but not all-powerful, so sometimes we need to use Win32 API for our .Net applications. It's simple enough with Platform Invoke if you have Win32 skill, but we do not always have time to dig the ancient documentation, declare the special types that are compatible with Win32, find the values of the Win32's constants and so on. Nostalgia .Net offers several simple-to-use classes, and components that will allow you to forget about the headache of Win32 and just use the power of Win32 in your application the same way as you use the native. Net classes. More » |
