| VMS Help CC, Language topics, Builtin Functions, CMP SWAP LONG *Conan The Librarian | 
  Performs a conditional atomic compare and exchange operation on a
  longword.  The longword pointed to by source is read and compared
  with the longword old_value.  If they are equal, the longword
  new_value is written into the longword pointed to by source.  The
  read and write is performed atomically, with no intervening access
  to the same memory region.
  The function returns 1 if the write occurs, and 0 otherwise.
  Syntax:
       int __CMP_SWAP_LONG (volatile void *source, int old_value, int
       new_value);
