Namespace: DotNext.Threading

Assembly: DotNext.dll

Syntax

public static class AtomicEnum : object

Methods

VolatileRead<E>(ref E)

Reads the value of the specified field. On systems that require it, inserts a memory barrier that prevents the processor from reordering memory operations as follows: If a read or write appears after this method in the code, the processor cannot move it before this method.

Declaration

public static E VolatileRead<E>(this ref E value)

    where E : struct, Enum

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
E	value	The field to read.

Returns

Type	Description
E	The value that was read. This value is the latest written by any processor in the computer, regardless of the number of processors or the state of processor cache.

Type Parameters

Name	Description
E

VolatileWrite<E>(ref E, E)

Writes the specified value to the specified field. On systems that require it, inserts a memory barrier that prevents the processor from reordering memory operations as follows: If a read or write appears before this method in the code, the processor cannot move it after this method.

Declaration

public static void VolatileWrite<E>(this ref E value, E newValue)

    where E : struct, Enum

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
E	value	The field where the value is written.
E	newValue	The value to write. The value is written immediately so that it is visible to all processors in the computer.
