InterlockedExchange function (HLSL reference)

Assigns value to dest and returns the original value.

Syntax

void InterlockedExchange(
  in  R dest,
  in  T value,
  out T original_value
);

Parameters

dest [in]

Type: R

The destination address.

value [in]

Type: T

The input value.

original_value [out]

Type: T

The original value.

Return value

This function does not return a value.

Remarks

This operation can only be performed on scalar-typed resources and shared memory variables. There are two possible uses for this function. The first is when R is a shared memory variable type. In this case, the function performs the operation on the shared memory register referenced by dest. The second scenario is when R is a resource variable type. In this scenario, the function performs the operation on the resource location referenced by dest. This operation is only available when R is readable and writable.

Interlocked operations do not imply any memory fence/barrier.
