# std::atomic::is_always_lock_free

From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | atomic‎ | atomic

static constexpr bool is_always_lock_free = /*implementation-defined*/; |  | (since C++17)

Equals `true` if this atomic type is always lock-free and `false` if it is never or sometimes lock-free.

The value of this constant is consistent with both the macro `ATOMIC_xxx_LOCK_FREE`, where defined, with the member function is_lock_free and non-member function std::atomic_is_lock_free.

### [edit] Notes

There is no non-member function equivalent of this static member constant because non-member functions take pointers to atomic types, and therefore aren't as useful in constant expressions.
