1Generic `Atomic<T>` for Rust 2============================ 3 4[](https://travis-ci.org/Amanieu/atomic-rs) [](https://crates.io/crates/atomic) 5 6A Rust library which provides a generic `Atomic<T>` type for all `T: Copy` types, unlike the standard library which only provides a few fixed atomic types (`AtomicBool`, `AtomicIsize`, `AtomicUsize`, `AtomicPtr`). 7 8This library will use native atomic instructions if possible, and will otherwise fall back to a lock-based mechanism. You can use the `Atomic::<T>::is_lock_free()` function to check whether native atomic operations are supported for a given type. Note that a type must have a power-of-2 size and alignment in order to be used by native atomic instructions. 9 10This crate uses `#![no_std]` and only depends on libcore. 11 12[Documentation](https://amanieu.github.io/atomic-rs/atomic/index.html) 13 14## Usage 15 16Add this to your `Cargo.toml`: 17 18```toml 19[dependencies] 20atomic = "0.5" 21``` 22 23and this to your crate root: 24 25```rust 26extern crate atomic; 27``` 28 29## License 30 31Licensed under either of 32 33 * Apache License, Version 2.0, ([LICENSE-APACHE](LICENSE-APACHE) or http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0) 34 * MIT license ([LICENSE-MIT](LICENSE-MIT) or http://opensource.org/licenses/MIT) 35 36at your option. 37 38### Contribution 39 40Unless you explicitly state otherwise, any contribution intentionally submitted 41for inclusion in the work by you, as defined in the Apache-2.0 license, shall be dual licensed as above, without any 42additional terms or conditions. 43
