Type Alias Atomic

Source
pub type Atomic<T> = <T as AtomicPrimitive>::AtomicInner;
🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (generic_atomic #130539)
Expand description

A memory location which can be safely modified from multiple threads.

This has the same size and bit validity as the underlying type T. However, the alignment of this type is always equal to its size, even on targets where T has alignment less than its size.

For more about the differences between atomic types and non-atomic types as well as information about the portability of this type, please see the module-level documentation.

Note: This type is only available on platforms that support atomic loads and stores of T.
