QB_ATOMIC_INT_SET(3)

💅 QB_ATOMIC_INT_SET ✨

okay bestie, so this is a page from the libqb Programmer's Manual, section 3 (that's the library-functions girlies, iykyk). Today's main character: qb_atomic_int_set 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

qb_atomic_int_set — sets the value of the integer pointed to by atomic. literally that's it, that's the whole job, and she does it flawlessly 💖

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <qb/qbatomic.h>

void qb_atomic_int_set(
    volatile int32_t QB_GNUC_MAY_ALIAS   *atomic,  /* a pointer to an integer */
    int32_t                               newval   /* the new value */
);

no cap, that's the whole signature. two lil arguments, zero drama 🦋

---

🫶 PARAMS 🫶

• atomic — a pointer to an integer. that's the lil guy getting a glow-up ✨
• newval — the new value. this is what she's becoming 👑

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

She sets the value of the integer that atomic points at. simple. iconic. slay.

AND — and this is the part you need to remember bestie, don't skip it — she also acts as a memory barrier. the way that she's not just a setter, she's out here enforcing ordering too 🔥 not me being obsessed with a function that does two things at once 💅
