Hi all, I wrote a small package which implements atomic operations on types. This is more comfortable to use and enabled building an atomic boolean type (which has been the motivation) here.
Documentation at https://godoc.org/github.com/nightlyone/atomic Source code at: https://github.com/nightlyone/atomic License: BSD-3-Clause (same as the Go project) NOTES on explicit omissions: * no support for unsafe.Pointer, because I want it to be useful in appengine (where unsafe is forbidden) * no support for uintptr to discourage dangerous patterns involving pointers * no support for SwapXXX, since one usually should use CompareAndSwap instead to make sure the atomic value is in the expected state before changing it (the go runtime avoids it too, probably for the same reason) Feedback is very welcome. Enjoy! Ingo -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
