Additional documentation.
Here we have some more general topics that might be good to know that just don’t fit to the crate level intro.
Also, there were some previous blog posts about the crate which you might find interesting.
Atomic orderings
Each operation on the ArcSwapAny with DefaultStrategy type callable concurrently (eg.
load, but not into_inner) contains at least one SeqCst atomic read-write operation,
therefore even operations on different instances have a defined global order of operations.
Features
The weak feature adds the ability to use arc-swap with the Weak pointer too,
through the ArcSwapWeak type. The needed std support is stabilized in rust version 1.45 (as
of now in beta).
The experimental-strategies enables few more strategies that can be used. Note that these
are not part of the API stability guarantees and they may be changed, renamed or removed at
any time.
Minimal compiler version
The 1 versions will compile on all compilers supporting the 2018 edition. Note that this
applies only if no additional feature flags are enabled and does not apply to compiling or
running tests.
