Add Atomic::compare_exchange(_weak) and deprecate Atomic::compare_and_set(_weak) #628
Conversation
I don't know why this method was originally called compare-and-set, but Wikipedia says a variant of compare-and-swap that returns a boolean indicating whether a substitution was performed is often called compare-and-set. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compare-and-swap
As this method actually returns a value rather than a boolean, I think it's okay to call it |
std's compare_exchange receives two orderings: one for success and the other for fail cases. But this PR's compare_exchange receives only one that can be rendered into two. Do you think we need to match them? |

Instead of changing the argument of
Atomic::compare_and_set(_weak)
, add new methodsAtomic::compare_exchange(_weak)
that always use two orderings.This PR adds:
Atomic::compare_exchange
Unlike
compare_and_set
, this always receive two orderings.Atomic::compare_exchange_weak
Unlike
compare_and_set_weak
, this always receive two orderings.CompareExchangeError
(error returned byAtomic::compare_exchange(_weak)
)The definition is the same as
CompareAndSetError
, just renamedCompareExchangeError
.This PR deprecates:
Atomic::compare_and_set
Atomic::compare_and_set_weak
CompareAndSetError
(error returned byAtomic::compare_and_set(_weak)
)This is now a type alias of
CompareExchangeError
.CompareAndSetOrdering
