# atomic_init

From cppreference.com
< c‎ | atomic

Defined in header `<stdatomic.h>` |  |
void atomic_init( volatile A* obj, C desired ); |  | (since C11)

Initializes the default-constructed atomic object `obj` with the value `desired`. The function is not atomic: concurrent access from another thread, even through an atomic operation, is a data race.

This is a generic function defined for all atomic object types `A`. The argument is pointer to a volatile atomic type to accept addresses of both non-volatile and volatile (e.g. memory-mapped I/O) atomic variables.`C` is the non-atomic type corresponding to `A`.
