Atomic polyfills, for targets where they're not available.

Documentation

This crate polyfills atomics on targets where they're not available, using critical sections. It is intended to be a drop-in replacement for core::sync::atomic.

There are two "levels" of polyfilling:

  • Native: No polyfilling is performed, the native core::sync::atomic::AtomicXX is reexported.
  • Full: Both load/store and compare-and-set operations are polyfilled.

Polyfilling requires a critical-section implementation for the current target. Check the critical-section README for details.

Target support

The right polyfill level is automatically picked based on the target and the atomic width:

Target Level Level for u64/i64
thumbv4t Full Full
thumbv6m Full Full
thumbv7*, thumbv8* Native Full
riscv32imc Full Full
riscv32imac Native Full
xtensa-*-espidf Native Native
xtensa-esp32-* Native Full
xtensa-esp32s2-* Full Full
xtensa-esp32s3-* Native Full
xtensa-esp8266-* Full Full
AVR Full Full

For targets not listed above, atomic-polyfill assumes nothing and reexports core::sync::atomic::*. No polyfilling is done. PRs for polyfilling more targets are welcome :)
