Each using-declaration for some name A in the synopsis above makes available the same entity as std​::​A declared in <atomic>.
Each macro listed above other than _Atomic(T) is defined as in <atomic>.
It is unspecified whether <stdatomic.h> makes available any declarations in namespace std.

#
Each of the using-declarations for intN_t, uintN_t, intptr_t, and uintptr_t listed above is defined if and only if the implementation defines the corresponding typedef-name in [atomics.syn].
3
#
Neither the _Atomic macro, nor any of the non-macro global namespace declarations, are provided by any C++ standard library header other than <stdatomic.h>.

#
Recommended practice: Implementations should ensure that C and C++ representations of atomic objects are compatible, so that the same object can be accessed as both an _Atomic(T) from C code and an atomic<T> from C++ code.
The representations should be the same, and the mechanisms used to ensure atomicity and memory ordering should be compatible.
