_interlockedbittestandset, _interlockedbittestandset64 

Microsoft Specific

Generate the lock_bts instruction, which examines bit b of the address a and returns its current value.

unsigned char _interlockedbittestandset(
 long *a,
 long b
);
unsigned char _interlockedbittestandset64(
 __int64 *a,
 __int64 b
);

Parameters

• [in] a
  A pointer to the memory to examine.

• [in] b
  The bit position to test.

Return Value

The bit at the position specified.

Requirements

Header file <intrin.h>

Remarks

As a result of the lock_bts instruction, the bit is set to 1. The operation is atomic.

In Visual C++ 2005, these functions behave as read-write memory barriers. For more information, see _ReadWriteBarrier.

This routine is only available as an intrinsic.
