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 146 .

🔗

T* fetch_key(difference_type operand, memory_order order = memory_order::seq_cst) const noexcept;

Mandates: T is a complete object type.

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: The result may be an undefined address, but the operations otherwise have no undefined behavior.

🔗

T* operator op=(difference_type operand) const noexcept;

Effects: Equivalent to: return fetch_key(operand) op operand;
