Initialize the value referenced by target in a thread-safe manner. The value is changed to initializedValue only if the current value is uninitializedValue.

Namespace: CodeJam.Threading
Assembly: CodeJam (in CodeJam.dll) Version: 2.1.0.0

Syntax

C#

public static T Initialize<T>(
	ref T target,
	T initializedValue,
	T uninitializedValue
)
where T : class

VB

Public Shared Function Initialize(Of T As Class) ( 
	ByRef target As T,
	initializedValue As T,
	uninitializedValue As T
) As T

F#

static member Initialize : 
        target : 'T byref * 
        initializedValue : 'T * 
        uninitializedValue : 'T -> 'T  when 'T : not struct

Parameters

 

target

Type: T
Reference to the target location.

initializedValue

Type: T
The value to use if the target is currently uninitialized.

uninitializedValue

Type: T
The uninitialized value.

Type Parameters

 

T

Type of value.

Return Value

Type: T
The new value referenced by target. Note that this is nearly always more useful than the usual return from CompareExchange(T)(T, T, T) because it saves another read to target.
