Function

GLibpointer_bit_lock_and_get

since: 2.80

Declaration 

void
g_pointer_bit_lock_and_get (
  gpointer address,
  guint lock_bit,
  guintptr* out_ptr
)

Description

This is equivalent to g_bit_lock, but working on pointers (or other pointer-sized values).

For portability reasons, you may only lock on the bottom 32 bits of the pointer.

Available since: 2.80

Parameters

address

Type: gpointer

A pointer to a #gpointer-sized value.

The data is owned by the caller of the function.
lock_bit

Type: guint

A bit value between 0 and 31

out_ptr

Type: guintptr*

Returns the set pointer atomically. This is the value after setting the lock, it thus always has the lock bit set, while previously address had the lockbit unset. You may also use g_pointer_bit_lock_mask_ptr() to clear the lock bit.

The argument will be set by the function.
The argument can be NULL.
The called function takes ownership of the data, and is responsible for freeing it.
