# ABool
:bulb: Atomic boolean library for Golang, optimized for performance yet simple to use.
## Usage
```go
import "github.com/tevino/abool"
cond := abool.New() // default to false
cond.Set() // set to true
cond.IsSet() // returns true
cond.UnSet() // set to false
cond.SetTo(true) // set to whatever you want
// embedding
type Foo struct {
cond *abool.AtomicBool // always use pointer to avoid copy
}
```
## Benchmark:
- Golang 1.6.2
- OS X 10.11.4
