std::atomic_fetch_max, std::atomic_fetch_max_explicit - cppreference.com (original) (raw)

Defined in header
template< class T > T atomic_fetch_max( std::atomic<T>* obj, typename std::atomic<T>::value_type arg ) noexcept; (1) (since C++26)
template< class T > T atomic_fetch_max( volatile std::atomic<T>* obj, typename std::atomic<T>::value_type arg ) noexcept; (2) (since C++26)
template< class T > T atomic_fetch_max_explicit( std::atomic<T>* obj, typename std::atomic<T>::value_type arg, std::memory_order order ) noexcept; (3) (since C++26)
template< class T > T atomic_fetch_max_explicit( volatile std::atomic<T>* obj, typename std::atomic<T>::value_type arg, std::memory_order order ) noexcept; (4) (since C++26)

Atomically replaces the value pointed by obj with the result of std::max between the old value of obj and arg. Returns the value obj held previously. The operation is performed as if the following was executed:

1,2) obj->fetch_max(arg)

3,4) obj->fetch_max(arg, order)

If std::atomic<T> has no fetch_max member (this member is only provided for integral and pointer types except bool), the program is ill-formed.

[edit] Parameters

obj - pointer to the atomic object to modify
arg - the value to std::max with the value stored in the atomic object
order - the memory synchronization ordering

[edit] Return value

The value immediately preceding the effects of this function in the modification order of *obj.
