The QAtomicInteger class provides platform-independent atomic operations on integers.
For atomic operations on pointers, see the QAtomicPointer class.
An atomic operation is a complex operation that completes without interruption. The QAtomicInteger class provides atomic reference counting, test-and-set, fetch-and-store, and fetch-and-add for integers.
The template parameter T
must be a C++ integer type:
Of the list above, only the 32-bit- and pointer-sized instantiations are guaranteed to work on all platforms. Support for other sizes depends on the compiler and processor architecture the code is being compiled for. To test
whether the other types are supported, check the macro Q_ATOMIC_INT\e{nn}_IS_SUPPORTED
, where \e{nn}
is the number of bits desired.
The ref() and deref() functions provide an efficient reference counting API. The return value of these functions are used to indicate when the last reference has been released. These functions allow you to implement your own implicitly shared classes.
MySharedType &MySharedType::operator=(const MySharedType &other) { (void) other.data->atomicInt.ref(); if (!data->atomicInt.deref()) { // The last reference has been released delete d; } d = other.d; return *this; }
QAtomicInteger provides several implementations of the atomic test-and-set, fetch-and-store, and fetch-and-add functions. Each implementation defines a memory ordering semantic that describes how memory accesses surrounding the atomic instruction are executed by the processor. Since many modern architectures allow out-of-order execution and memory ordering, using the correct semantic is necessary to ensure that your application functions properly on all processors.
If the current value of the QAtomicInteger is an expected value, the test-and-set functions assign a new value to the QAtomicInteger and return true. If values are not the same, these functions do nothing and return false. This operation equates to the following code:
if (currentValue == expectedValue) { currentValue = newValue; return true; } return false;
There are 4 test-and-set functions: testAndSetRelaxed(), testAndSetAcquire(), testAndSetRelease(), and testAndSetOrdered(). See above for an explanation of the different memory ordering semantics.
The atomic fetch-and-store functions read the current value of the QAtomicInteger and then assign a new value, returning the original value. This operation equates to the following code:
int originalValue = currentValue; currentValue = newValue; return originalValue;
There are 4 fetch-and-store functions: fetchAndStoreRelaxed(), fetchAndStoreAcquire(), fetchAndStoreRelease(), and fetchAndStoreOrdered(). See above for an explanation of the different memory ordering semantics.
The atomic fetch-and-add functions read the current value of the QAtomicInteger and then add the given value to the current value, returning the original value. This operation equates to the following code:
int originalValue = currentValue; currentValue += valueToAdd; return originalValue;
There are 4 fetch-and-add functions: fetchAndAddRelaxed(), fetchAndAddAcquire(), fetchAndAddRelease(), and fetchAndAddOrdered(). See above for an explanation of the different memory ordering semantics.
Providing a platform-independent atomic API that works on all processors is challenging. The API provided by QAtomicInteger is guaranteed to work atomically on all processors. However, since not all processors implement support for every operation provided by QAtomicInteger, it is necessary to expose information about the processor.
You can check at compile time which features are supported on your hardware using various macros. These will tell you if your hardware always, sometimes, or does not support a particular operation. The macros have the form Q_ATOMIC_INTnn_OPERATION_IS_HOW_NATIVE. nn is the size of the integer (in bits), OPERATION is one of REFERENCE_COUNTING, TEST_AND_SET, FETCH_AND_STORE, or FETCH_AND_ADD, and HOW is one of ALWAYS, SOMETIMES, or NOT. There will always be exactly one defined macro per operation. For example, if Q_ATOMIC_INT32_REFERENCE_COUNTING_IS_ALWAYS_NATIVE is defined, neither Q_ATOMIC_INT_REFERENCE_COUNTING_IS_SOMETIMES_NATIVE nor Q_ATOMIC_INT32_REFERENCE_COUNTING_IS_NOT_NATIVE will be defined.
An operation that completes in constant time is said to be wait-free. Such operations are not implemented using locks or loops of any kind. For atomic operations that are always supported, and that are wait-free, Qt defines the Q_ATOMIC_INTnn_OPERATION_IS_WAIT_FREE in addition to the Q_ATOMIC_INTnn_OPERATION_IS_ALWAYS_NATIVE.
In cases where an atomic operation is only supported in newer generations of the processor, QAtomicInteger also provides a way to check at runtime what your hardware supports with the isReferenceCountingNative(), isTestAndSetNative(), isFetchAndStoreNative(), and isFetchAndAddNative() functions. Wait-free implementations can be detected using the isReferenceCountingWaitFree(), isTestAndSetWaitFree(), isFetchAndStoreWaitFree(), and isFetchAndAddWaitFree() functions.
Below is a complete list of all feature macros for QAtomicInteger:
For compatibility with previous versions of Qt, macros with an empty nn are equivalent to the 32-bit macros. For example, Q_ATOMIC_INT_REFERENCE_COUNTING_IS_WAIT_FREE is the same as Q_ATOMIC_INT32_REFERENCE_COUNTING_IS_WAIT_FREE.
