      The linter will complain if you use std::atomic<T>, suggesting AtomicWord<T> instead. However, the MONGO_EXPORT_SERVER_PARAMTER macro does not work with an AtomicWord<T> type, requiring all parameters that want to use this macro to be declared with a // NOLINT.

      Here's an example of the error I got when trying to declare a server parameter with type AtomicInt32:

      src/mongo/db/query/query_knobs.cpp:70:31: error: redefinition of 'internalQueryFacetBufferSizeBytes' with a different type: 'server_parameter_storage_type<AtomicInt32,

MONGO_EXPORT_SERVER_PARAMETER(internalQueryFacetBufferSizeBytes, AtomicInt32, 100 * 1024 * 1024);
