| template< class Atomic > bool atomic_is_lock_free( const volatile Atomic* obj ) |

| #define ATOMIC_CHAR_LOCK_FREE /* unspecified */ #define ATOMIC_CHAR16_T_LOCK_FREE /* unspecified */ |
(2) | (since C++11) |
obj is implemented lock-free, as if by calling obj->is_lock_free()Contents |
Parameters
| obj | - | pointer to the atomic object to examine |
Return value
true if *obj is a lock-free atomic, false otherwise.
Exceptions
Notes
All atomic types except for std::atomic_flag may be implemented using mutexes or other locking operations, rather than using the lock-free atomic CPU instructions. Atomic types are also allowed to be sometimes lock-free, e.g. if only aligned memory accesses are naturally atomic on a given architecture, misaligned objects of the same type have to use locks. If the type is sometimes lock-free, then the function (1) or its member function equivalent has to be used to determine if the particular instance is lock-free.
