Description
The ATOMIC_VAR_INIT macro expands to a token sequence suitable for
initializing an atomic object of a type that is initialization-compatible
with value.
An atomic object with automatic storage duration that is not explicitly
initialized using ATOMIC_VAR_INIT is initially in an indeterminate state;
however, the default (zero) initialization for objects with static storage
duration is guaranteed to produce a valid state.
#define ATOMIC_VAR_INIT(C value)This macro can only be used to initialize atomic objects that are declared
in program scope in the global address space.
Examples:
global atomic_int guide = ATOMIC_VAR_INIT(42);Concurrent access to the variable being initialized, even via an atomic operation, constitutes a data-race.
