atomicPointerSet

fnvoid atomicPointerSet(void * atomic, void * newval = null)

Sets the value of atomic to newval.

This call acts as a full compiler and hardware memory barrier (after the set).

While atomic has a volatile qualifier, this is a historical artifact and the pointer passed to it should not be volatile.

Parameters

atomica pointer to a #gpointer-sized value
newvala new value to store
