NAME

       atomic_dec - atomic_dec functions.

       int atomic_dec(volatile global(3clc) int *p);

       unsigned int atomic_dec(volatile global(3clc) unsigned int *p);

       int atomic_dec(volatile local(3clc) int *p);

       unsigned int atomic_dec(volatile local(3clc) unsigned int *p);

DESCRIPTION

       Read the 32-bit value (referred to as old) stored at location pointed by p. Compute (old -
       1) and store result at location pointed by p. The function returns old.

       A 64-bit version of this function, atom_dec(3clc), is enabled by
       cl_khr_int64_base_atomics(3clc).
