std::counti...aphore::max(3)

💖 NAME 💖

std::counting_semaphore::max - std::counting_semaphore::max — that's the name, bestie. The manual page is std::counti...aphore::max(3), and it's from the C++ Standard Libary (yes, that spelling is the page's, and we're keeping it 💅).

✨ Synopsis ✨

constexpr std::ptrdiff_t max() noexcept;  (since C++20)

It returns the internal counter's maximum possible value, which is greater than or equal to LeastMaxValue.

🦋 Return value 🦋

The internal counter's maximum possible value, as a std::ptrdiff_t.

💅 Notes 💅

• For the specialization binary_semaphore, LeastMaxValue is equal to 1.
• As its name indicates, LeastMaxValue is the minimum max value, not the actual max value. So max() can yield a number larger than LeastMaxValue. No cap 🧚.
