[PATCH v5 06/10] rust: sync: atomic: Add the framework of arithmetic operations
Posted by Boqun Feng 3 months, 3 weeks ago
One important set of atomic operations is the arithmetic operations,
i.e. add(), sub(), fetch_add(), add_return(), etc. However it may not
make senses for all the types that `AllowAtomic` to have arithmetic
operations, for example a `Foo(u32)` may not have a reasonable add() or
sub(), plus subword types (`u8` and `u16`) currently don't have
atomic arithmetic operations even on C side and might not have them in
the future in Rust (because they are usually suboptimal on a few
architecures). Therefore add a subtrait of `AllowAtomic` describing
which types have and can do atomic arithemtic operations.

A few things about this `AllowAtomicArithmetic` trait:

* It has an associate type `Delta` instead of using
  `AllowAllowAtomic::Repr` because, a `Bar(u32)` (whose `Repr` is `i32`)
  may not wants an `add(&self, i32)`, but an `add(&self, u32)`.

* `AtomicImpl` types already implement an `AtomicHasArithmeticOps`
  trait, so add blanket implementation for them. In the future, `i8` and
  `i16` may impl `AtomicImpl` but not `AtomicHasArithmeticOps` if
  arithemtic operations are not available.

Only add() and fetch_add() are added. The rest will be added in the
future.

Typo, should be `AllowAtomic`.
