Module Atomic.LocSource

Atomic "locations", such as record fields.

Sourcetype 'a t = 'a atomic_loc

This module exposes a dedicated type 'a Atomic.Loc.t for atomic locations (storing a value of type 'a) inside objects that may not be atomic references. It is used in particular for atomic record fields: if a record r has an atomic field f of type foo, then [%atomic.loc r.f] has type foo Atomic.Loc.t.

The API below mirrors the API to access atomic references, see the documentation above for more information.
