Struct atom::Atom

pub struct Atom<P> where
    P: IntoRawPtr + FromRawPtr,  { /* fields omitted */ }

An Atom wraps an AtomicPtr, it allows for safe mutation of an atomic into common Rust Types.

Methods

impl<P> Atom<P> where
    P: IntoRawPtr + FromRawPtr, 

pub fn empty() -> Atom<P>

Create a empty Atom

pub fn new(value: P) -> Atom<P>

Create a new Atomic from Pointer P

pub fn swap(&self, v: P) -> Option<P>

Swap a new value into the Atom, This will try multiple times until it succeeds. The old value will be returned.

pub fn take(&self) -> Option<P>

Take the value of the Atom replacing it with null pointer Returning the contents. If the contents was a null pointer the result will be None.

pub fn set_if_none(&self, v: P) -> Option<P>

This will do a CAS setting the value only if it is NULL this will return None if the value was written, otherwise a Some(v) will be returned, where the value was the same value that you passed into this function

pub fn replace_and_set_next(&self, value: P) -> bool where
    P: GetNextMut<NextPtr = Option<P>>, 

Take the current content, write it into P then do a CAS to extent this Atom with the previous contents. This can be used to create a LIFO

Returns true if this set this migrated the Atom from null.

pub fn is_none(&self) -> bool

Check to see if an atom is None

This only means that the contents was None when it was measured
