There are specializations of the atomic template for the integral types char, signed char, unsigned char, short, unsigned short, int, unsigned int, long, unsigned long, long long, unsigned long long, char16_t, char32_t, wchar_t, and any other types needed by the typedefs in the header <cstdint>. For each such integral type integral, the specialization atomic<integral> provides additional atomic operations appropriate to integral types. [ Note: For the specialization atomic<bool>, see [atomics.types.generic]. — end note ]

The atomic integral specializations are standard-layout structs. They each have a trivial default constructor and a trivial destructor.
The following operations perform arithmetic computations. The key, operator, and computation correspondence is:
key | Op | Computation | key | Op | Computation |
add | + | addition | sub | - | subtraction |
or | | | bitwise inclusive or | xor | ^ | bitwise exclusive or |
and | & | bitwise and |
T fetch_key(T operand, memory_order order = memory_order_seq_cst) volatile noexcept;
T fetch_key(T operand, memory_order order = memory_order_seq_cst) noexcept;
Effects: Atomically replaces the value pointed to by this with the result of the computation applied to the value pointed to by this and the given operand. Memory is affected according to the value of order. These operations are atomic read-modify-write operations ([intro.multithread]).
