std::atomic_compare_exchange_strong_explicit

template (1)
template <class T>bool atomic_compare_exchange_strong_explicit (volatile atomic<T>* obj,        T* expected, T val, memory_order success, memory_order failure) noexcept;template <class T>bool atomic_compare_exchange_strong_explicit (atomic<T>* obj,        T* expected, T val, memory_order success, memory_order failure) noexcept;
overloads (2)
bool atomic_compare_exchange_strong_explicit (volatile A* obj,        T* expected, T val, memory_order success, memory_order failure) noexcept;bool atomic_compare_exchange_strong_explicit (A* obj,        T* expected, T val, memory_order success, memory_order failure) noexcept;
Compare and exchange contained value (strong, explicit)
Operates like atomic_compare_exchange_strong, but it additionally allows to specify the memory order used both in case of success and failure.

See atomic::compare_exchange_strong for the equivalent member function of atomic.

Parameters

obj
Pointer to an atomic object.
Type A represents other overloaded atomic types (if the library does not implement the C-style atomic types as instantiations of atomic).
expected
Pointer to an object whose value is compared to the contained value, and which -in case it doesn't match- may be overwritten with the contained value.
T is the type of the value contained in the atomic object (atomic's template parameter).
val
Value to copy to the contained object in case expected matches the contained value.
T is the type of the value contained in the atomic object (atomic's template parameter).
success
Synchronization mode for the operation in case expected matches the contained value.
This shall be a value of the enum type memory_order.
failure
Synchronization mode for the operation in case expected does not match the contained value.
This shall be a value of the enum type memory_order that is neither memory_order_release nor memory_order_acq_rel, and which is not stronger than success.

Return value

true if *expected compares equal to the contained value.
false otherwise.

Data races

No data races (atomic operation). Memory order specified by arguments success and failure.

Exception safety

No-throw guarantee: never throws exceptions.
