use Ordering;
/// A basic reference to a heap-allocated array. Should be paired with exactly
/// one of either `heaparray::UnsafeArrayRef` or `heaparray::ArrayRef`.
/// A reference to an array, whose clone points to the same data.
///
/// Allows for idiomatic cloning of array references:
///
/// ```rust
/// use heaparray::naive_rc::*;
/// let array_ref = FpRcArray::new(10, |_| 0);
/// let another_ref = ArrayRef::clone(&array_ref);
///
/// assert!(array_ref.len() == another_ref.len());
/// for i in 0..another_ref.len() {
/// let r1 = &array_ref[i] as *const i32;
/// let r2 = &another_ref[i] as *const i32;
/// assert!(r1 == r2);
/// }
/// ```
/// Atomically modified array reference. Guarrantees that all operations on the
/// array reference are atomic (i.e. all changes to the internal array pointer).
/// Additionally, guarrantees that all reads to a reference of this pointer use
/// atomic loads.
///
/// For more details on the expected behavior of these methods, see the
/// documentation for `std::sync::atomic::AtomicPtr`.
