1-2) Determines if the atomic object pointed to by obj is implemented lock-free, as if by calling obj->is_lock_free()

3) Expands to an integer constant expression with value ​0​ for the built-in atomic types that are never lock-free, to 1 for the built-in atomic types that are sometimes lock-free, and to 2 for the built-in atomic types that are always lock-free.

Notes

All atomic types except for std::atomic_flag may be implemented using mutexes or other locking operations, rather than using the lock-free atomic CPU instructions. Atomic types are also allowed to be sometimes lock-free, e.g. if only aligned memory accesses are naturally atomic on a given architecture, misaligned objects of the same type have to use locks. If the type is sometimes lock-free, then the function (1-2) or its member function equivalent has to be used to determine if the particular instance is lock-free.

Parameters

obj

-

pointer to the atomic object to examine

Return value

true if *obj is a lock-free atomic, false otherwise.

Exceptions
