Atomically change the value of an atomic object (C11)
#include <stdatomic.h> C atomic_exchange( volatile A *obj, C desired ); C atomic_exchange_explicit( volatile A *obj, C desired, memory_order order );
The atomic_exchange() and atomic_exchange_explicit() functions are generic functions that atomically change the value of the given atomic object. The atomic_exchange() function orders memory access according to memory_order_seq_cst; atomic_exchange_explicit() orders them as specified by order.

If this function is lock-free (see atomic_is_lock_free()), it's safe to call it from an ISR or signal handler.
