#
The template argument for T shall meet the Cpp17CopyConstructible and Cpp17CopyAssignable requirements.
The program is ill-formed if any of
  • (1.1)
    is_trivially_copyable_v<T>,
  • (1.2)
    is_copy_constructible_v<T>,
  • (1.3)
    is_move_constructible_v<T>,
  • (1.4)
    is_copy_assignable_v<T>, or
  • (1.5)
    is_move_assignable_v<T>
is false.
[Note 1: 
Type arguments that are not also statically initializable can be difficult to use.

#
The specialization atomic<bool> is a standard-layout struct.

[Note 2: 
The representation of an atomic specialization need not have the same size and alignment requirement as its corresponding argument type.
