31 Atomic operations library [atomics]

31.7 Class template atomic_­ref [atomics.ref.generic]

31.7.3 Specializations for integral types [atomics.ref.int]

There are specializations of the atomic_­ref class template for the integral types char, signed char, unsigned char, short, unsigned short, int, unsigned int, long, unsigned long, long long, unsigned long long, char8_­t, char16_­t, char32_­t, wchar_­t, and any other types needed by the typedefs in the header <cstdint>.
For each such type integral, the specialization atomic_­ref<integral> provides additional atomic operations appropriate to integral types.
[Note 1:
The specialization atomic_­ref<bool> uses the primary template ([atomics.ref.generic]).

Descriptions are provided below only for members that differ from the primary template.
The following operations perform arithmetic computations.
The key, operator, and computation correspondence is identified in Table 144.
integral fetch_key(integral operand, memory_order order = memory_order::seq_cst) const noexcept;
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]).
Returns: Atomically, the value referenced by *ptr immediately before the effects.
Remarks: For signed integer types, the result is as if the object value and parameters were converted to their corresponding unsigned types, the computation performed on those types, and the result converted back to the signed type.
[Note 2:
There are no undefined results arising from the computation.

integral operator op=(integral operand) const noexcept;
Effects: Equivalent to: return fetch_­key(operand) op operand;
