ATOMICCOUNTERDECREME(3G)

👑 ATOMICCOUNTERDECREMENT (3G) 👑

okay bestie, pull up a chair because we're talking about atomicCounterDecrement from the 3G manual section, and honestly? it's giving tiny-but-mighty. it does one (1) thing and it does it atomically. no cap. 💅

---

✨ NAME ✨

atomicCounterDecrement — atomically decrement a counter and return the prior value 🎀

---

🌸 DECLARATION 🌸

like, here's the whole entire vibe, character for character:

uint atomicCounterDecrement(atomic_uint c);

she's short. she's precise. she's iconic. 👑

---

💖 PARAMETERS 💖

• c — this is the handle to the atomic counter you're about to decrement, so hand her the right one bestie 🫶

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so atomicCounterDecrement atomically decrements the value of the atomic counter c and returns its new value. yes, atomically — as in, nobody else can sneak in halfway and mess with it. main character energy only. ✨

💀 VERSION SUPPORT 💀

here's the vibe check on which OpenGL Shading Language versions show up for atomicCounterDecrement. a ✔ means she's there, a - means she is literally not invited:

• 1.10 — - (not invited 🙈)
• 1.20 — - (not invited 🙈)
• 1.30 — - (not invited 🙈)
• 1.40 — - (not invited 🙈)
• 1.50 — - (not invited 🙈)
• 3.30 — - (not invited 🙈)
• 4.00 — - (not invited 🙈)
• 4.10 — - (not invited 🙈)
• 4.20 — ✔ (she ate 💅)
• 4.30 — ✔ (she ate 💅)
• 4.40 — ✔ (she ate 💅)
• 4.50 — ✔ (she ate 💅)

so like, from 4.20 onward she's fully that girl. before that? nothing. zero. silence. 😭
