<h1>Write your own InterlockedXxx
operation</h1><p>
It has long been known that InterlockedCompareExchange can be
used to write any Interlockedxxx operation.  </p>
<pre>
long InterlockedXxx(
__inout long volatile *Target,
, whatever parameters we need for Xxx
)
{
long prevValue, prevCopy;
prevValue = *Target;
do {
if Xxx operations is illegal on prevValue, return with error code
prevCopy = prevValue;
//
// prevValue will be the value that used to be Target if the exchange was made
// or its current value if the exchange was not made.
//
prevValue = InterlockedCompareExchange(Target, Xxx operation on prevCopy, prevValue);
//
// If prevCopy == prevValue, then no one updated Target in between the deref at the top
// and the InterlockecCompareExchange afterward and we are done
//
} while (prevCopy != prevValue);
//
// [value] can be anything you want, but it is typically either
// a) The new value stored in Target. This is the type of return value that
// InterlockedIncrement returns
// or
// b) The new value is the previous value that was in Target. This si the
// type of return value that InterlockedOr or InterlockedExchange return
//
return [value];
}</pre><p>
Structures larger than a long can be handled by
using InterlockedCompareExchange to add to a
linked list, or remove stuff from a linked
list. Of course you should not be writing such
things yourself, when Intel has already written
it for you.  </p>
