Atomic operations on potentially uninitialized integers.

Motivation

Copying types containing uninitialized bytes (e.g., padding), via the standard library's atomic types is undefined behavior because the copy goes through integers.

This crate provides a way to soundly perform such operations.

Platform Support

Currently, x86, x86_64, Arm, AArch64, RISC-V, LoongArch64, MIPS32, MIPS64, PowerPC, s390x, MSP430, Arm64EC, AVR, Hexagon, M68k, and Xtensa are supported.

[1] Arm's atomic RMW operations are not available on v6-m (thumbv6m). RISC-V's atomic RMW operations are not available on targets without the A (or G which means IMAFD) extension such as riscv32i, riscv32imc, etc. M68k's atomic RMW operations requires M68020+ (Linux is M68020+ by default). Xtensa's atomic RMW operations are not available on esp32s2.
[2] Armv6+ or Linux/Android, except for M-profile architecture such as thumbv6m, thumbv7m, etc.
[3] Requires Rust 1.72+.
[4] Requires nightly due to #![feature(asm_experimental_arch)].
[5] Requires cmpxchg16b target feature (enabled by default on Apple and Windows (except Windows 7) targets).
[6] Requires target-cpu pwr8+ (powerpc64le is pwr8 by default).

Feel free to submit an issue if your target is not supported yet.
