Atomig: generic and convenient `std` atomics
============================================

[CI status of master](https://github.com/LukasKalbertodt/atomig/actions/workflows/ci.yml)
[Crates.io Version](https://crates.io/crates/atomig)
[docs.rs](https://docs.rs/atomig)

Offers `Atomic` that can be used with primitive and custom types.
*However*, it only works with types that can actually use atomic operations: a lock-based fallback for other types is not used!
This crate is based on `std`'s atomics and therefore does not contain any `unsafe` code!
This crate also does not have any dependencies by default.
If you enable the `serde` feature, then this crate will depend on `serde` and `Serialize` / `Deserialize` will be
implemented for `Atomic` when appropriate, using sequentially-consistent ordering.

Simple example with primitive types:

```rust
use atomig::{Atomic, Ordering};

let x = Atomic::new(27); // `Atomic`
x.store(39, Ordering::SeqCst);
```

This works with almost all primitive types, including `f32`, `f64` and `char`,
but also with types like `std::ptr::NonNull` and `std::num::NonZero`.

You can automatically derive `Atom` for your own enum or struct types to use them in `Atomic`.
There are some limitations, however.

```rust
// Requires the 'derive' feature:
// atomig = { version = "_", features = ["derive"] }
use atomig::{Atom, Atomic, Ordering};

#[derive(Atom)]
#[repr(u8)]
enum Animal { Dog, Cat, Fox }

let animal = Atomic::new(Animal::Cat);
animal.store(Animal::Fox, Ordering::SeqCst);

#[derive(Atom)]
struct Port(u16);

let port = Atomic::new(Port(80));
port.store(Port(8080), Ordering::SeqCst);
```
