This is extremely useful, since the most common action after a failed
compare-and-swap is to loop around, trying again with the current
value as found in memory.
Code currently written as:
do {
Type value = atomic.load();
...
} while (!atomic.testAndSetRelaxed(value, desired));
Becomes:
Type value = atomic.load();
do {
...
} while (!atomic.testAndSetRelaxed(value, desired, value));
In most CPU architectures, the value that was found in memory is known
to the compare-and-swap code, so this is more efficient than the
previous code. In architectures where the value is not known, the new
code is no worse than before.
The implementation sometimes modified an existing function, sometimes
it added a new one, depending on whether more registers were needed in
the assembly (like ARMv6-7), the code became more complex (ARMv5), the
optimizer failed (C++11), or it was just plain equivalent (MIPS).

This directory contains autotests and benchmarks based on Qt Test. In order
to run the autotests reliably, you need to configure a desktop to match the
test environment that these tests are written for.
Linux X11:
* The user must be logged in to an active desktop; you can't run the
autotests without a valid DISPLAY that allows X11 connections.
* The tests are run against a KDE3 or KDE4 desktop.
* Window manager uses "click to focus", and not "focus follows mouse". Many
tests move the mouse cursor around and expect this to not affect focus
and activation.
* Disable "click to activate", i.e., when a window is opened, the window
manager should automatically activate it (give it input focus) and not
wait for the user to click the window.
