There is a series of functions for pointers to the different types of integers:

• int32   
• int64   
• uint32  
• uint64  
  
• uintptr 

This includes a specific type of integer that represents a pointer, uintptr. The operation available for these types are as follows:

• Load: Retrieves the integer value from the pointer
• Store: Stores the integer value in the pointer
• Add: Adds the specified delta to the pointer value
• Swap: Stores a new value in the pointer and returns the old one
• CompareAndSwap: Swaps the new value for the old one only if this is the same as the specified one
