openfam::fam::fam_fetch_or

Atomically replaces a value in FAM with the Bitwise OR of that value and some given value, and returns the old value.

Synopsis

uint32_t fam_fetch_or(Fam_Descriptor *descriptor, uint64_t offset, uint32_t value);
uint64_t fam_fetch_or(Fam_Descriptor *descriptor, uint64_t offset, uint64_t value);

Description

These methods atomically replaces a value in FAM with the Bitwise OR of the value given and the existing value. The old value is returned.

Input Arguments

Return Values

The old value from FAM. Throws Fam_Exception on error.

Fam Error Numbers

Notes

These methods atomically replace a value in FAM with the Bitwise OR of that value and the value given in the method. The old value is returned. Note that the offset argument must point to the correct value for the data type. Availability of these methods is dependent on hardware support for the operations.

Example

#include <string.h>
#include <fam/fam.h>
#include <fam/fam_exception.h>
using namespace std;
using namespace openfam;

int main(void) {
	fam *myFam = new fam();

	// ... Initialization code here

	try {
		// look up the descriptor to a previously allocated data item
		Fam_Descriptor *descriptor = myFam->fam_lookup("myItem", "myRegion");
	
		// Atomically replace the first element of the array with
		// the Bitwise OR of it and a value of 0x444
		uint32_t oldValue = myFam->fam_fetch_or(descriptor, 0, 0x0444);

		// The first integer in FAM is now bitwise OR with a value of 0x444
	
		// ... subsequent code here
	} catch (Fam_Exception &e) {
		printf("fam API failed: %d: %s\n", e.fam_error(), e.fam_error_msg());
	}
	
	// ... Finalization code follows
