Please merge this pull request to enable use for AVR and other archs. It externalizes the management of missing atomics to specialized crate (portable-atomic).

I would keep the defmt_0_3 feature, because defmt v1 will be released soon and can be supported simultaneously that way.

@jamesmunns: Is bbqueue still maintained or should it be forked for future development?

[jamesmunns]

@Sympatron I'm not actively maintaining it at the moment, I've added @ithinuel as a maintainer, but I think they are busy as well.

If you'd like to be added as a maintainer, I'd be happy to add you.

[Sympatron]

That would be nice. I would like to help maintain bbqueue if you two are short on time.

@Sympatron sent you an invite! Feel free to merge PRs as you see fit. Feel free to ping me if you want to coordinate a release.

[Sympatron]

@ithinuel Are you ok with me making changes to this PR to resolve conflicts? And as I said, I would like to keep the defmt_0_3 feature. Or do you want to do it yourself?

[ithinuel]

Sorry for the slow reply.
Yes I am.

I came looking to do the same thing. Sounds like there aren't any objections to merging this. @Sympatron is there anything I could do to help get this merged? I would like to use bbqueue in my project and this is blocking me.

[jamesmunns]

@ggriffiniii I would strongly recommend checking out bbq2. See #107. If you are on a platform with no atomics, bbq2 will work much better than emulated portable atomics, because otherwise you will take multiple critical sections for every transaction.

If there are no objections and the other maintainers are busy, I'm going to just merge bbq2 into bbqueue and maintain that instead.

[ggriffiniii]

Thanks for the pointer. Yes, indeed bbq2 seems like it does exactly what I'm looking for.

[jamesmunns]

Closing this as superceded by bbq2 and the merge in #110. I will be making a new release of bbqueue in the near future, by subbing in the bbq2 implementation.
