# [−][src]Function std::intrinsics::atomic_max

    pub unsafe extern "rust-intrinsic" fn atomic_max<T>(dst: *mut T, src: T) -> T

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (`core_intrinsics`)

intrinsics are unlikely to ever be stabilized, instead they should be used through stabilized interfaces in the rest of the standard library

Maximum with the current value using a signed comparison.

The stabilized version of this intrinsic is available on the `std::sync::atomic` signed integer types via the `fetch_max` method by passing `Ordering::SeqCst` as the `order`. For example, `AtomicI32::fetch_max`.
