This crate allows you to compile code that needs the unstable integer atomics types
(Atomic{U,I}{8,16,32,64}
) with the stable compiler.
If the nightly
feature is enabled, it simply re-exports these types from std::sync::atomic
.
Otherwise, they are emulated with the existing stable AtomicUsize
and compare-exchange loops.
Because of that, the Atomic{U,I}64
types are only available on 64-bit platforms.
This crate has no documentation as these types are documented within the standard library docs.
