I am looking for a test-and-set instruction (or something like it) on the
IBM RS/6000. I know that the assembly code is proprietary, but I found a
compare-and-set (cs) system call that looks like it does the same thing.
Unfortunately, I can't find this command in my doc set. Could someone show
me how to use this call ?
The only information that I have is:
int cs (int *dest, int compare, int value)
It has the following logic:
if (compare == *dest) {*dest = value; return(0);}
else return(1);
