ATOMIC_VAR_INIT

ATOMIC_VAR_INIT(val)
Initialization of atomic variable
This macro expands to a token sequence suitable to initialize an atomic object (of static storage duration) with a value of val.

This macro exists for compatibility with C implementations, in which it is used as a constructor-like function for (default-constructed) atomic objects; In C++, this initialization may be performed directly by the initialization constructor.

Parameters

val
Value to use for initialization.
The object contained in the atomic object shall support constant initialization from this value.

Return value

A sequence of tokens suitable to initialize an atomic object with val.

Data races

This macro does not prevent data races on the object being initialized.

Exception safety

No-throw guarantee: never throws exceptions.
