+### `target_has_atomic`
+
+Key-value option set for each bit width that the target supports
+atomic loads, stores, and compare-and-swap operations.
+
+When this cfg is present, all of the [`core::sync::atomic`] APIs are available for
+the relevant atomic width with the exception of `from_mut` methods (currently
+unstable), which additionally require that the primitive integer and atomic have
+the same minimum alignment on the given target. No user-visible, stable cfg is
+exposed for that method at this time.
