    • C++20 atomics @ Qt

    Description

      C++20 beefed up std::atomic quite a bit to the point where it's overtaken QAtomics in features.

      The effect on Qt APIs is simply to put even more pressure now on moving from QAtomic to std::atomic (QTBUG-103833).

      As for implementation, we need to review our std::atomic use for the issues mentioned in https://wg21.link/P0883 (defined(__cpp_lib_atomic_value_initialization)), incl, since ATOMIC_VAR_INIT is now deprecated, a Qt wrapper to retain compatibility between C++17 and C++20 code without running into C++20 deprecation warnings.
