Using atomic get/set to flag that a channel is closed in go
I have a function that will get called within a goroutine that pushes onto a buffered channel. When my container shuts down, I close the channel and attempt to process the rest of the jobs in the buffered channel and in doing so, I do a atomic.StoreInt32(&r.done, 1). In the function that pushes onto the channel, I have
if atomic.LoadInt32(&r.done) == 1 {
return nil
}
... add job to channel
This is used as a blocker if the channel is closed (performing shutdown) and the function that adds to the queue gets called.
Since there is concurrency involved, I have to use the atomic get/set rather than just setting a simple done boolean to true right?
Does this make sense and is this the proper way to do something like this?
Thank you.

No, atomic operations do not guarantee synchronization. There's probably other patterns for what you want to do, but we would need some Minimal, Complete, and Verifiable example demonstrating why the sender can't be responsible for closing the channel, or why the channel needs to be closed at all.
