3671. atomic_fetch_xor missing from stdatomic.h

Discussion:

C17 subclause 7.17.7.5 provides atomic_fetch_xor and atomic_fetch_xor_explicit. stdatomic.h in the working draft (N4901) does not.

[2022-02-09; Jonathan comments and provides wording]

C++20 32.5.2 [atomics.syn] has both of them, too, so it should definitely be in the common subset.

[2022-03-04; Reflector poll]

Set status to Tentatively Ready after eight votes in favour during reflector poll.

[2022-07-15; LWG telecon: move to Ready]

[2022-07-25 Approved at July 2022 virtual plenary. Status changed: Ready → WP.]

Proposed resolution:

This wording is relative to N4901.

1. Modify 32.5.12 [stdatomic.h.syn], header <stdatomic.h> synopsis, as indicated:

   [Drafting Note: The editor is kindly requested to reorder these "atomic_fetch_KEY" declarations to match the other synopses in Clause 32.5 [atomics]: add, sub, and, or, xor.]
