Cross platform atomic wait and wake functionality (aka futexes).

This crate only supports functionality that's available on all of Linux, Windows, and macOS. That is:

• Only AtomicU32 is supported. (Linux currently only supports 32-bit futexes.)
• Only the "wait", "wake one", and "wake all" operations are supported. (Linux supports more operations, but Windows and macOS don't.)
• No timeouts. (macOS doesn't have a stable/public API for timeouts.)
• The wake operations don't return the number of threads woken up. (Only Linux supports this.)

Supported platforms: Linux 2.6.22+, Windows 8+, Windows Server 2012+, macOS 11+, iOS 14+, watchOS 7+.

Usage

``` use std::sync::atomic::AtomicU32; use atomic_wait::AtomicWait;

let a = AtomicU32::new(0);

a.wait(1); // If the value is 1, wait.

a.wake_one(); // Wake one waiting thread.

a.wake_all(); // Wake all waiting threads. ```

Implementation

On Linux, this uses the SYS_futex syscall.

On Windows, this uses the WaitOnAddress and WakeByAddress APIs.

On macOS (and iOS and watchOS), this uses libc++, making use of the same (ABI-stable) functions behind C++20's atomic_wait and atomic_notify functions.
