M_CodeJam_Threading_InterlockedOperations_Initialize_5

InterlockedOperations.Initialize Method (Int64, Int64, Int64)

Initialize the value referenced by target in a thread-safe manner. The value is changed to initializedValue only if the current value is uninitializedValue.

Namespace: CodeJam.Threading
Assembly: CodeJam (in CodeJam.dll) Version: 2.1.0.0

Syntax

C#

public static long Initialize(
	ref long target,
	long initializedValue,
	long uninitializedValue
)

VB

Public Shared Function Initialize ( 
	ByRef target As Long,
	initializedValue As Long,
	uninitializedValue As Long
) As Long

F#

static member Initialize : 
        target : int64 byref * 
        initializedValue : int64 * 
        uninitializedValue : int64 -> int64 

Parameters

 

target

Type: System.Int64
Reference to the target location.

initializedValue

Type: System.Int64
The value to use if the target is currently uninitialized.

uninitializedValue

Type: System.Int64
The uninitialized value.

Return Value

Type: Int64
The new value referenced by target. Note that this is nearly always more useful than the usual return from CompareExchange(Int64, Int64, Int64) because it saves another read to target.
