You can use the `Atomic::<T>::is_lock_free()` function to check whether native atomic operations are supported for a given type. Note that a type must have a power-of-2 size and alignment in order to be used by native atomic instructions. + +Only a subset of native atomic operations are supported on stable Rust (types which are the same size as `AtomicUsize`), but you can use the `nightly` Cargo feature on a nightly compiler to enable the full range of native atomic instructions. The `nightly` feature also enables `const fn` constructors which allow you to initialize static atomic variables. + +This crate uses `#![no_std]` and only depends on libcore. + +[Documentation](https://amanieu.github.io/atomic-rs/atomic/index.html) + +## Usage + +Add this to your `Cargo.toml`: + +```toml +[dependencies] +atomic = "0.4" +``` + +and this to your crate root: + +```rust +extern crate atomic; +``` + +To enable nightly-only features, add this to your `Cargo.toml` instead: + +```toml +[dependencies] +atomic = {version = "0.4", features = ["nightly"]} +``` + +## License + +Licensed under either of + + * Apache License, Version 2.0, ([LICENSE-APACHE](LICENSE-APACHE) or http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0) + * MIT license ([LICENSE-MIT](LICENSE-MIT) or http://opensource.org/licenses/MIT) + +at your option. + +### Contribution + +Unless you explicitly state otherwise, any contribution intentionally submitted +for inclusion in the work by you, as defined in the Apache-2.0 license, shall be dual licensed as above, without any +additional terms or conditions. |
