M_CodeJam_Threading_InterlockedOperations_Initialize_3

InterlockedOperations.Initialize Method (Int32, Int32, Int32)

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 int Initialize(
	ref int target,
	int initializedValue,
	int uninitializedValue
)

VB

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

F#

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

Parameters

 

target

Type: System.Int32
Reference to the target location.

initializedValue

Type: System.Int32
The value to use if the target is currently uninitialized.

uninitializedValue

Type: System.Int32
The uninitialized value.

Return Value

Type: Int32
The new value referenced by target. Note that this is nearly always more useful than the usual return from CompareExchange(Int32, Int32, Int32) because it saves another read to target.
