/// Pads and aligns a value to the length of a cache line.
///
/// In concurrent programming, sometimes it is desirable to make sure commonly accessed pieces of
/// data are not placed into the same cache line. Updating an atomic value invalidates the whole
/// cache line it belongs to, which makes the next access to the same cache line slower for other
/// CPU cores. Use `CachePadded` to ensure updating one piece of data doesn't invalidate other
/// cached data.
///
/// # Size and alignment
///
/// Cache lines are assumed to be N bytes long, depending on the architecture:
///
/// * On x86-64, aarch64, and powerpc64, N = 128.
/// * On arm, mips, mips64, and riscv64, N = 32.
/// * On s390x, N = 256.
/// * On all others, N = 64.
///
/// Note that N is just a reasonable guess and is not guaranteed to match the actual cache line
/// length of the machine the program is running on. On modern Intel architectures, spatial
/// prefetcher is pulling pairs of 64-byte cache lines at a time, so we pessimistically assume that
/// cache lines are 128 bytes long.
///
/// The size of `CachePadded<T>` is the smallest multiple of N bytes large enough to accommodate
/// a value of type `T`.
///
/// The alignment of `CachePadded<T>` is the maximum of N bytes and the alignment of `T`.
///
/// # Examples
///
/// Alignment and padding:
///
/// ```
/// use crossbeam_utils::CachePadded;
///
/// let array = [CachePadded::new(1i8), CachePadded::new(2i8)];
/// let addr1 = &*array[0] as *const i8 as usize;
/// let addr2 = &*array[1] as *const i8 as usize;
///
/// assert!(addr2 - addr1 >= 64);
/// assert_eq!(addr1 % 64, 0);
/// assert_eq!(addr2 % 64, 0);
/// ```
///
/// When building a concurrent queue with a head and a tail index, it is wise to place them in
/// different cache lines so that concurrent threads pushing and popping elements don't invalidate
/// each other's cache lines:
///
/// ```
/// use crossbeam_utils::CachePadded;
/// use std::sync::atomic::AtomicUsize;
///
/// struct Queue<T> {
///     head: CachePadded<AtomicUsize>,
///     tail: CachePadded<AtomicUsize>,
///     buffer: *mut T,
/// }
/// ```
