-- This package provides atomic counter on platforms where it is supported:
-- - all Alpha platforms
-- - all ia64 platforms
-- - all PowerPC platforms
-- - all SPARC V9 platforms
-- - all x86 platforms
-- - all x86_64 platforms
package System.Atomic_Counters is
pragma Preelaborate;
type Atomic_Counter is limited private;
-- Type for atomic counter objects. Note, initial value of the counter is
-- one. This allows using an atomic counter as member of record types when
-- object of these types are created at library level in preelaborable
-- compilation units.
--
-- Atomic_Counter is declared as private limited type to provide highest
-- level of protection from unexpected use. All available operations are
-- declared below, and this set should be as small as possible.
procedure Increment (Item : in out Atomic_Counter);
pragma Inline_Always (Increment);
-- Increments value of atomic counter.
function Decrement (Item : in out Atomic_Counter) return Boolean;
pragma Inline_Always (Decrement);
-- Decrements value of atomic counter, returns True when value reach zero
function Is_One (Item : Atomic_Counter) return Boolean;
pragma Inline_Always (Is_One);
-- Returns True when value of the atomic counter is one
procedure Initialize (Item : out Atomic_Counter);
pragma Inline_Always (Initialize);
-- Initialize counter by setting its value to one. This subprogram is
-- intended to be used in special cases when the counter object cannot be
-- initialized in standard way.
