Brian Silverman70325d62015-09-20 17:00:43 -04001# Check whether InterlockedExchange() takes a LONG or a volatile LONG
2# as its first argument. InterlockedCompareExchange is a windows
3# function; obviously, this macro is useful only for cygwin and mingw,
4# and other systems that compile against the windows API.
5#
6# Apparently the interface for this function is a bit inconsistent.
7# Windows likes volatile LONG, but mingw and cygwin don't, at least
8# for the versions I'm using. But rather than try to guess who
9# supports what, let's just check at configure time. (Note: this
10# is an error in C++ but only a warning in C, so we test in the former.)
11#
12# This function returns 'yes' if the type does not need volatile,
13# and defines the symbol INTERLOCKED_EXCHANGE_NONVOLATILE. (This
14# is the expected case for mingw and cygwin). It returns 'no',
15# and defines no symbol, otherwise. (This is the expected case for
16# MSVC.) The return value was sset this way so that we don't need
17# to define any symbols on windows, which doesn't run configure.
