Overview ?

Package atomic provides low-level atomic memory primitives useful for implementing synchronization algorithms.

These functions require great care to be used correctly. Except for special, low-level applications, synchronization is better done with channels or the facilities of the sync package. Share memory by communicating; don't communicate by sharing memory.

The compare-and-swap operation, implemented by the CompareAndSwapT functions, is the atomic equivalent of: 

if *val == old {
	*val = new
	return true
}
return false
