[jira] Updated: (STDCXX-43) names of atomic functions inconsitent

["Martin Sebor (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STDCXX-43?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Martin Sebor updated STDCXX-43:
-------------------------------

              Severity: Cosmetic
         Fix Version/s:     (was: 4.2.1)
                        5.0
    Remaining Estimate: 4h
     Original Estimate: 4h

Most of this is already done but changing the rest would be a binary incompatible change. Deferred until 5.0.

> The names of the implementation-specific atomic functions are inconsistent: some contain the width of the type they operate on (such as __rw_atomic_add32()), others don't (e.g., __rw_atomic_add32()), and others still follow a different naming convention altogether (e.g., __rw_atomic_incr32()). This makes understanding and writing the generic overloads that use them (e.g., __rw_atomic_preincrement(), etc.) difficult and leads to lots of duplicate code in rw/_mutex.h. This is a placeholder issue to rename these functions using a consistent naming convention and to simplify rw/_mutex.h.
