atomic 
Simple wrappers for primitive types to enforce atomic access.
Installation
$ go get -u go.uber.org/atomic@v1
Legacy Import Path
As of v1.5.0, the import path go.uber.org/atomic is the only supported way
of using this package. If you are using Go modules, this package will fail to
compile with the legacy import path path github.com/uber-go/atomic.
We recommend migrating your code to the new import path but if you're unable
to do so, or if your dependencies are still using the old import path, you
will have to add a replace directive to your go.mod file downgrading the
legacy import path to an older version.
replace github.com/uber-go/atomic => github.com/uber-go/atomic v1.4.0
You can do so automatically by running the following command.
$ go mod edit -replace github.com/uber-go/atomic=github.com/uber-go/[email protected]
Usage
The standard library's sync/atomic is powerful, but it's easy to forget which
variables must be accessed atomically. go.uber.org/atomic preserves all the
functionality of the standard library, but wraps the primitive types to
provide a safer, more convenient API.
var atom atomic.Uint32
atom.Store(42)
atom.Sub(2)
atom.CAS(40, 11)
See the documentation for a complete API specification.
