void zmq_atomic_counter_set (void *counter, int value);
The zmq_atomic_counter_set function sets the counter to a new value, in a threadsafe fashion. The largest value that is guaranteed to work across all platforms is 2^31-1. This function uses platform specific atomic operations.
The zmq_atomic_counter_set() function has no return value.
Test code for atomic counters.
void *counter = zmq_atomic_counter_new (); assert (zmq_atomic_counter_value (counter) == 0); assert (zmq_atomic_counter_inc (counter) == 0); assert (zmq_atomic_counter_inc (counter) == 1); assert (zmq_atomic_counter_inc (counter) == 2); assert (zmq_atomic_counter_value (counter) == 3); assert (zmq_atomic_counter_dec (counter) == 1); assert (zmq_atomic_counter_dec (counter) == 1); assert (zmq_atomic_counter_dec (counter) == 0); zmq_atomic_counter_set (counter, 2); assert (zmq_atomic_counter_dec (counter) == 1); assert (zmq_atomic_counter_dec (counter) == 0); zmq_atomic_counter_destroy (&counter); return 0;
