GLibatomic_pointer_set

since: 2.4

Declaration [src] 

void
g_atomic_pointer_set (
  void* atomic,
  gpointer newval
)

Description [src]

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.

Available since: 2.4
