atomic_flag_clear(), atomic_flag_clear

Atomically clear a flag (C11)

Synopsis:

#include <stdatomic.h>

void atomic_flag_clear( volatile atomic_flag *obj );

void atomic_flag_clear_explicit( volatile atomic_flag *obj,
                                 memory_order order );

Arguments:

obj: A pointer to the atomic flag that you want to clear.
order: (atomic_flag_clear_explicit() only) The memory_order to use for the operation.

Library:

If the atomic function is lock-free (see atomic_is_lock_free()), no extra library is required.
If the function isn't lock-free, you need to link against libatomic. Use the -l atomic option to qcc to link against this library.

Description:

The atomic_flag_clear() and atomic_flag_clear_explicit() functions atomically clear the given atomic flag. The atomic_flag_clear() function orders memory access according to memory_order_seq_cst; atomic_flag_clear_explicit() orders them as specified by order.

Classification:

C11

Safety:
Cancellation point	No
Interrupt handler	Read the Caveats
Signal handler	Read the Caveats
Thread	Yes

Caveats:

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