NAME
----
zmq_atomic_counter_value - return value of atomic counter


SYNOPSIS
--------
*int zmq_atomic_counter_value (void *counter);*


DESCRIPTION
-----------
The _zmq_atomic_counter_value_ function returns the value of an atomic
counter. This function uses platform specific atomic operations.


RETURN VALUE
------------
The _zmq_atomic_counter_value()_ function returns the new atomic counter
if successful. Otherwise it returns NULL.


EXAMPLE
-------
.Test code for atomic counters
----
void *counter = zmq_atomic_counter_new ();
assert (zmq_atomic_counter_value (counter) == 0);
assert (zmq_atomic_counter_inc (counter) == 0);
assert (zmq_atomic_counter_inc (counter) == 1);
assert (zmq_atomic_counter_inc (counter) == 2);
assert (zmq_atomic_counter_value (counter) == 3);

assert (zmq_atomic_counter_dec (counter) == 1);
assert (zmq_atomic_counter_dec (counter) == 1);
assert (zmq_atomic_counter_dec (counter) == 0);
40
zmq_atomic_counter_set (counter, 2);
41 42
assert (zmq_atomic_counter_dec (counter) == 1);
assert (zmq_atomic_counter_dec (counter) == 0);
