== Description

Conditionally set the value of the specified `atomicUint` to the specified `swapValue` if and only if the value of `atomicUint` equals the value of the specified `compareValue`, and return the initial value of `atomicUint`, providing the sequential consistency memory ordering guarantee&period; The whole operation is performed atomically&period;

== Return Value

initial value of `atomicUint` before the operation

== Parameters
