Loc (melange.Stdlib.Atomic.Loc)

type t('a) = atomic_loc('a);

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.
