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

What exactly are trying to do? Are you working in user- or in kernelspace?
What kernel? What programming language?
Cheers
