#define ATOMIC_VAR_INIT(value) /* unspecified */
(since C11)Expands to an expression that can be used to initialize an atomic variable of the same type as value.
The initial value of atomic object of automatic storage duration that is not explicitly initialized is indeterminate. The default (zero) initialization of static and thread-local variables produces a valid value however.
When initializing an atomic variable, any concurrent access, even through an atomic operation, is a data race (it may happen if the address is immediately passed to another thread with a memory_order_relaxed operation).
[edit] NotesThis macro was a part of early draft design for C11 atomic types. It is not needed in C11, and is deprecated in C17 and removed in C23.
