Hi all,

I have to migrate Windows Code to Linux for an ARM processor. The Windows code uses the InterlockedIncrement function of the Windows API. I found a way to create functions for Linux which behave the same way as the Windows functions but it seems that this only works on Intel processors. The function I use is __sync_fetch_and_add (type *ptr, type value, ...).

Is there something similar for ARM?

thanks for your answers,
Chris from Austria
