What are some examples of using stdatomic in C?

Can you provide some examples of using stdatomic in C?

Sure! The stdatomic.h header in C provides atomic operations for multi-threaded programming. For example, you can use atomic_int to safely increment a counter across threads.

How do I declare an atomic variable?

You can declare an atomic variable like this: atomic_int counter;. This ensures that operations on counter are atomic.

What functions can I use with atomic variables?

You can use functions like atomic_load, atomic_store, atomic_fetch_add, and atomic_compare_exchange_strong to manipulate atomic variables.

Can you show me a code snippet?

Certainly! Here's a simple example:

#include <stdatomic.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
    atomic_int counter = 0;
    atomic_fetch_add(&counter, 1);
    printf("Counter: %d\n", atomic_load(&counter));
    return 0;
}
