Docs of @cmpxchgWeak and @cmpxchgStrong are wrong #20634

Closed lassade closed 1 month ago

lassade commented 1 month ago

Zig Version

master

Steps to Reproduce and Observed Behavior

Hey in the @cmpxchgWeak https://ziglang.org/documentation/master/#cmpxchgWeak docs states: "... returning null if the current value is NOT the given expected value ..."

I put the NOT in highlight because the pseudo code in the same section is telling me otherwise: it should return null if the value is the expected value.

Expected Behavior

@cmpxchgWeak and @cmpxchgStrong returns null if the value IS the expected value.
