How does C17 want me to initialize my atomics?

Question

The C17 standard deprecates ATOMIC_VAR_INIT from stdatomic.h, meaning it still supports it but would rather it not be used. What is the correct non-deprecated way of initializing atomics in C17?

Same as non-atomic types:

atomic_int foo = 42;

Or something new?

Answer 1

C17 makes it ok to initialize atomics using the usual explicit initialization:

atomic_int n = 42;

C17 literally just dropped the two words "using ATOMIC_VAR_INIT" from the sentence in 7.17.2.1.
