//! Atomic types
//!
//! Atomic types provide primitive shared-memory communication between
//! threads, and are the building blocks of other concurrent
//! types.
//!
//! This module defines atomic versions of a select number of primitive
//! types, including `AtomicBool`, `AtomicInt`, `AtomicUint`, and `AtomicOption`.
//! Atomic types present operations that, when used correctly, synchronize
//! updates between threads.
//!
//! Each method takes an `Ordering` which represents the strength of
//! the memory barrier for that operation. These orderings are the
//! same as [C++11 atomic orderings][1].
//!
//! [1]: http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/Atomic/GCCMM/AtomicSync
//!
//! Atomic variables are safe to share between threads (they implement `Share`)
//! but they do not themselves provide the mechanism for sharing. The most
//! common way to share an atomic variable is to put it into an `Arc` (an
//! atomically-reference-counted shared pointer).
//!
//! Most atomic types may be stored in static variables, initialized using
//! the provided static initializers like `INIT_ATOMIC_BOOL`. Atomic statics
//! are often used for lazy global initialization.
//!
//!
//! # Examples
//!
//! A simple spinlock:
//!
//! ```
//! extern crate sync;
//!
//! use sync::Arc;
//! use std::sync::atomics::{AtomicUint, SeqCst};
//! use std::task::deschedule;
//!
//! fn main() {
//!     let spinlock = Arc::new(AtomicUint::new(1));
//!
//!     let spinlock_clone = spinlock.clone();
//!     spawn(proc() {
//!         spinlock_clone.store(0, SeqCst);
//!     });
//!
//!     // Wait for the other task to release the lock
//!     while spinlock.load(SeqCst) != 0 {
//!         // Since tasks may not be preemptive (if they are green threads)
//!         // yield to the scheduler to let the other task run. Low level
//!         // concurrent code needs to take into account Rust's two threading
//!         // models.
//!         deschedule();
//!     }
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! Transferring a heap object with `AtomicOption`:
//!
//! ```
//! extern crate sync;
//!
//! use sync::Arc;
//! use std::sync::atomics::{AtomicOption, SeqCst};
//!
//! fn main() {
//!     struct BigObject;
//!
//!     let shared_big_object = Arc::new(AtomicOption::empty());
//!
//!     let shared_big_object_clone = shared_big_object.clone();
//!     spawn(proc() {
//!         let unwrapped_big_object = shared_big_object_clone.take(SeqCst);
//!         if unwrapped_big_object.is_some() {
//!             println!("got a big object from another task");
//!         } else {
//!             println!("other task hasn't sent big object yet");
//!         }
//!     });
//!
//!     shared_big_object.swap(~BigObject, SeqCst);
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! Keep a global count of live tasks:
//!
//! ```
//! use std::sync::atomics::{AtomicUint, SeqCst, INIT_ATOMIC_UINT};
//!
//! static mut GLOBAL_TASK_COUNT: AtomicUint = INIT_ATOMIC_UINT;
//!
//! unsafe {
//!     let old_task_count = GLOBAL_TASK_COUNT.fetch_add(1, SeqCst);
//!     println!("live tasks: {}", old_task_count + 1);
//! }
//! ```
