Descriptions are provided below only for members that differ from the primary template.

#
The following operations perform arithmetic computations.
The correspondence among key, operator, and computation is specified in Table 142.
🔗
T* fetch_key(difference_type operand, memory_order order = memory_order::seq_cst) const noexcept;
3
#
Mandates: T is a complete object type.
4
#
Effects: Atomically replaces the value referenced by *ptr with the result of the computation applied to the value referenced by *ptr and the given operand.
Memory is affected according to the value of order.
These operations are atomic read-modify-write operations ([intro.races]).
5
#
Returns: Atomically, the value referenced by *ptr immediately before the effects.
6
#
Remarks: The result may be an undefined address, but the operations otherwise have no undefined behavior.
🔗
T* operator op=(difference_type operand) const noexcept;
7
#
Effects: Equivalent to: return fetch_­key(operand) op operand;
