Detailed Description

template<class Iter>
struct rpa::atomic< Iter >

Models a couple of simple atomic operations for an arbitrary datatype.

Used, for example, by the 'sequence_step' method, when there is no mutex to protect the access to an input sequence. Goes with 'compare_and_swap'.

Member Typedef Documentation

template<class Iter>

typedef Iter rpa::atomic< Iter >::atomic_type

We do not manipulate the class itself, but instead the datatype designated by this class, as an atomic type. Therefore, it allows to use as atomic type, any architecture-specific type.

template<class Iter>

typedef Iter rpa::atomic< Iter >::data_type

The associated non-atomic datatype. Generally equivalent to 'atomic_type'.
