Subject: info needed on atomic operations
Date: Thu, 1 Jan 2004 13:34:01 -0800 (PST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20040101213401.36093.qmail@web21201.mail.yahoo.com> (raw)

Hi all,
 
I need some information on atomic operations.
Please provide me some information on how do I do the
following operations atomically(for iX86):
(1) set a charecter ( dst = src),
(2) compare and then set a charecter ( if (dst==X) 
dst = src;)
 
It would be great If you provide some references to
any good documents.
 
Thanks,
Srini
