22 Atomic vs. Non-Atomic Operations "An operation acting on shared memory is atomic if it completes in a single step relative to other threads. When an atomic store is performed on a shared memory, no other thread can observe the modification half-complete.
Objects of atomic types are the only C++ objects that are free from data races; that is, if one thread writes to an atomic object while another thread reads from it, the behavior is well-defined. In addition, accesses to atomic objects may establish inter-thread synchronization and order non-atomic memory accesses as specified by std::memory_order.
The biggest question is whether an atomic can simply be allocated in shared memory (placement new) and work. Obviously this would only work if it is a true hardware atomic.
11 The difference is that a normal load/store is not guaranteed to be tear-free, whereas a relaxed atomic read/write is. Also, the atomic guarantees that the compiler doesn't rearrange or optimise-out memory accesses in a similar fashion to what volatile guarantees. (Pre-C++11, volatile was an essential part of rolling your own atomics.
c++ - What is the difference between load/store relaxed atomic and ...
Each statement is atomic, but if you want the stored procedure to be atomic (or any sequence of statements in general), you need to explicitly surround the statements with
Yes and no. rename () is atomic assuming the OS does not crash. It cannot be split by any other filesystem op. If the system crashes you might see a ln () operation instead. (But see discussion on journalled filesystems in comments.) Also note, when operating on a network filesystem, you might get ENOENT when the operation succeeded successfully. Local filesystem can't do that to you.
I had a 25-hr debugging marathon in < 2 days and then wrote this answer here. See also the bottom of this question for more info. and documentation on 8-bit variables having naturally atomic writes and naturally atomic reads for AVR 8-bit microcontrollers when compiled with the gcc compiler which uses the AVR-libc library.
