// don't communicate by sharing memory. // // The swap operation, implemented by the SwapT functions, is the atomic // equivalent of: // // old = *addr // *addr = new // return old // // The compare-and-swap operation, implemented by the CompareAndSwapT // functions, is the atomic equivalent of: // // if *addr == old { // *addr = new // return true // } // return false // // The add operation, implemented by the AddT functions, is the atomic // equivalent of: // // *addr += delta // return *addr // // The load and store operations, implemented by the LoadT and StoreT // functions, are the atomic equivalents of "return *addr" and // "*addr = val". // // In the terminology of the Go memory model, if the effect of // an atomic operation A is observed by atomic operation B, // then A “synchronizes before” B. // Additionally, all the atomic operations executed in a program // behave as though executed in some sequentially consistent order. // This definition provides the same semantics as // C++'s sequentially consistent atomics and Java's volatile variables. package atomic import ( "unsafe" ) // BUG(rsc): On 386, the 64-bit functions use instructions unavailable before the Pentium MMX. // // On non-Linux ARM, the 64-bit functions use instructions unavailable before the ARMv6k core. // // On ARM, 386, and 32-bit MIPS, it is the caller's responsibility to arrange // for 64-bit alignment of 64-bit words accessed atomically via the primitive // atomic functions (types [Int64] and [Uint64] are automatically aligned). // The first word in an allocated struct, array, or slice;
