# atomic_enum
An attribute to create an atomic wrapper around a C-style enum.
Internally, the generated wrapper uses an `AtomicUsize` to store the value.
The atomic operations have the same semantics as the equivalent operations
of `AtomicUsize`.
# Example
```rust
# use atomic_enum::atomic_enum;
# use std::sync::atomic::Ordering;
#[atomic_enum]
#[derive(PartialEq)]
enum CatState {
Dead = 0,
BothDeadAndAlive,
Alive,
}
let state = AtomicCatState::new(CatState::Dead);
state.store(CatState::Alive, Ordering::Relaxed);
assert_eq!(state.load(Ordering::Relaxed), CatState::Alive);
```
This attribute does not use or generate any unsafe code.
The crate can be used in a `#[no_std]` environment.
