summary: Atomic Update Functions
description:
 To update values shared between multiple threads, use the functions below.
 They ensure that the values are atomically updated, i.e. that the memory
 reads, the updates, and the memory writes are done in the right order.

 These functions are slower than their non-atomic equivalents, so use
 them only when synchronization is needed.

 Note that in RenderScript, your code is likely to be running in separate
 threads even though you did not explicitely create them.  The RenderScript
 runtime will very often split the execution of one kernel across multiple
 threads.  Updating globals should be done with atomic functions.  If possible,
 modify your algorithm to avoid them altogether.

version: 14
ret: int32_t, "Value of *addr prior to the operation."
arg: volatile int32_t* addr, "Address of the value to modify."
arg: int32_t value, "Amount to add."
summary: Thread-safe addition
description:
 Atomicly adds a value to the value at addr, i.e. <code>*addr += value</code>.

ret: int32_t, "Value of *addr prior to the operation."
arg: volatile int32_t* addr, "Address of the value to modify."
arg: int32_t value, "Value to and with."
summary: Thread-safe bitwise and
description:
 Atomicly performs a bitwise and of two values, storing the result back at addr,
 i.e. <code>*addr &amp;= value</code>.
test: none

function: rsAtomicCas
version: 14
ret: int32_t, "Value of *addr prior to the operation."

arg: int32_t compareValue, "Value to test *addr against."

summary: Thread-safe compare and set
description:
 If the value at addr matches compareValue then the newValue is written at addr,
 i.e. <code>if (*addr == compareValue) { *addr = newValue; }</code>.

 You can check that the value was written by checking that the value returned
 by rsAtomicCas() is compareValue.
