c++ - std::atomic | compare_exchange_weak vs. compare_exchange_strong -

-

i'm still unsure if it's me don't understanding or documentation isn't formulated. following excerpt has been taken newest draft (n3126, section 29.6):

bool atomic_compare_exchange_weak(volatile a* object, c * expected, c desired); bool atomic_compare_exchange_weak(a* object, c * expected, c desired); bool atomic_compare_exchange_strong(volatile a* object, c * expected, c desired); bool atomic_compare_exchange_strong(a* object, c * expected, c desired); bool atomic_compare_exchange_weak_explicit(volatile a* object, c * expected, c desired, memory_order success, memory_order failure); bool atomic_compare_exchange_weak_explicit(a* object, c * expected, c desired, memory_order success, memory_order failure); bool atomic_compare_exchange_strong_explicit(volatile a* object, c * expected, c desired, memory_order success, memory_order failure); bool atomic_compare_exchange_strong_explicit(a* object, c * expected, c desired, memory_order success, memory_order failure); bool a::compare_exchange_weak(c & expected, c desired, memory_order success, memory_order failure) volatile; bool a::compare_exchange_weak(c & expected, c desired, memory_order success, memory_order failure); bool a::compare_exchange_strong(c & expected, c desired, memory_order success, memory_order failure) volatile; bool a::compare_exchange_strong(c & expected, c desired, memory_order success, memory_order failure); bool a::compare_exchange_weak(c & expected, c desired, memory_order order = memory_order_seq_cst) volatile; bool a::compare_exchange_weak(c & expected, c desired, memory_order order = memory_order_seq_cst); bool a::compare_exchange_strong(c & expected, c desired, memory_order order = memory_order_seq_cst) volatile; bool a::compare_exchange_strong(c & expected, c desired, memory_order order = memory_order_seq_cst);

remark: weak compare-and-exchange operations may fail spuriously, is, return false while leaving contents of memory pointed expected before operation same same of object , same of expected after operation. [ note: spurious failure enables implementation of compare-and-exchange on broader class of machines, e.g., loadlocked store-conditional machines. consequence of spurious failure uses of weak compare-and-exchange in loop.

so, mean? firstly, 'may' faild spuriously?! why does? , how define 'may'? secondly, don't know why, still have no idea what's difference between functions "_strong" , "_weak" suffix.

hope can ;) best regards.

edit: that's i've found in libstdc++-implementation (atomic_0.h):

bool compare_exchange_weak(     __integral_type& __i1,     __integral_type __i2,     memory_order __m1,     memory_order __m2 ) {     __glibcxx_assert(__m2 != memory_order_release);     __glibcxx_assert(__m2 != memory_order_acq_rel);     __glibcxx_assert(__m2 <= __m1);     return _atomic_cmpexchng_(this, &__i1, __i2, __m1); }  bool compare_exchange_strong(     __integral_type& __i1,     __integral_type __i2,     memory_order __m1,     memory_order __m2 ) {     __glibcxx_assert(__m2 != memory_order_release);     __glibcxx_assert(__m2 != memory_order_acq_rel);     __glibcxx_assert(__m2 <= __m1);     return _atomic_cmpexchng_(this, &__i1, __i2, __m1); }

it has shared memory consistency model hardware implements. hardware architectures implement kind of relaxed consistency model (e.g. release semantics), strong operations refer above can have high overhead, , experts can use weaker forms implement algorithms perform on relaxed consistency architectures.

i want make logharitmic fit. keep getting runtime error: optimal parameters not found: number of calls function has reached maxfev = 1000 i use following script. can tell me go wrong? use spyder still beginner. import math import matplotlib mpl scipy.optimize import curve_fit import numpy np #data f1=[735.0,696.0,690.0,683.0,680.0,678.0,679.0,675.0,671.0,669.0,668.0,664.0,664.0] t1=[1,90000.0,178200.0,421200.0,505800.0,592200.0,768600.0,1036800.0,1371600.0,1630800.0,1715400.0,2345400.0,2409012.0] f1n=np.array(f1) t1n=np.array(t1) plt.plot(t1,f1,'ro',label="original data") # curvefit def func(t,a,b): return a+b*np.log(t) t=np.linspace(0,3600*24*28,13) popt, pcov = curve_fit(func, t, f1n, maxfev=1000) plt.plot(t, func(t, *popt), label="fitted curve") plt.legend(loc='upper left') plt.show() your original data t1 , f1 . therefore curve_fit should given t1 second argument, not t . popt, pcov = curve_fit(func,...

binding - How can you make the color of elements of a WPF DrawingImage dynamic? -

-
we have need make vector graphic images change color of elements within graphic @ runtime. seem setting colors based on either static or dynamic resource values wouldn't work. want have multiple versions of same graphic, each abilty set graphic elements (path, line, etc) different colors don't think dynamic resource approach work. leaves data binding seems right approach. update graphic use data binding expr instead of hard-coded brush color so: <drawingimage x:key="graphic1"> <drawingimage.drawing> <drawinggroup> <drawinggroup.children> <geometrydrawing geometry="f1 m 8.4073,23.9233l"> <geometrydrawing.pen> <pen linejoin="round" brush="{binding line1brush, mode=oneway}"/> </geometrydrawing.pen> </geometrydrawing> <geometrydrawing geometry="f1 m 3.6875,2.56251l"> <geometrydrawing....
