Describes an object that performs atomic operations on a stored value of type Ty.

Syntax

template <class Ty>
struct atomic;

Members

Member Description
Constructor
atomic Constructs an atomic object.
Operators
atomic::operator Ty Reads and returns the stored value. (atomic::load)
atomic::operator= Uses a specified value to replace the stored value. (atomic::store)
atomic::operator++ Increments the stored value. Used only by integral and pointer specializations.
atomic::operator+= Adds a specified value to the stored value. Used only by integral and pointer specializations.
atomic::operator-- Decrements the stored value. Used only by integral and pointer specializations.
atomic::operator-= Subtracts a specified value from the stored value. Used only by integral and pointer specializations.
atomic::operator&= Performs a bitwise "and" (&) on a specified value and the stored value. Used only by integral specializations.
atomic::operator|= Performs a bitwise "or" (|) on a specified value and the stored value. Used only by integral specializations.
atomic::operator^= Performs a bitwise "exclusive or" (^) on a specified value and the stored value. Used only by integral specializations.
Functions
compare_exchange_strong Performs an atomic_compare_and_exchange operation on this and returns the result.
compare_exchange_weak Performs a weak_atomic_compare_and_exchange operation on this and returns the result.
fetch_add Adds a specified value to the stored value.
fetch_and Performs a bitwise "and" (&) on a specified value and the stored value.
fetch_or Performs a bitwise "or" (|) on a specified value and the stored value.
fetch_sub Subtracts a specified value from the stored value.
fetch_xor Performs a bitwise "exclusive or" (^) on a specified value and the stored value.
is_lock_free Specifies whether atomic operations on this are lock free. An atomic type is lock free if no atomic operations on that type use locks.
load Reads and returns the stored value.
store Uses a specified value to replace the stored value.

Remarks

The type Ty must be trivially copyable. That is, using memcpy to copy its bytes must produce a valid Ty object that compares equal to the original object. The compare_exchange_weak and compare_exchange_strong member functions use memcmp to determine whether two Ty values are equal. These functions won't use a Ty-defined operator==. The member functions of atomic use memcpy to copy values of type Ty.

A partial specialization, atomic<Ty*>, exists for all pointer types. The specialization enables the addition of an offset to the managed pointer value or the subtraction of an offset from it. The arithmetic operations take an argument of type ptrdiff_t and adjust that argument according to the size of Ty to be consistent with ordinary address arithmetic.

A specialization exists for every integral type except bool. Each specialization provides a rich set of methods for atomic arithmetic and logical operations.

atomic<char>
atomic<signed char>
atomic<unsigned char>
atomic<char16_t>
atomic<char32_t>
atomic<wchar_t>
atomic<short>

atomic<unsigned short>
atomic<int>
atomic<unsigned int>
atomic<long>
atomic<unsigned long>
atomic<long long>
atomic<unsigned long long>

Integral specializations are derived from corresponding atomic_integral types. For example, atomic<unsigned int> is derived from atomic_uint.

Requirements

Header: <atomic>

Namespace: std

atomic::atomic

Constructs an atomic object.

atomic();
atomic( const atomic& );
atomic( Ty Value ) noexcept;

Parameters

Value
Initialization value.

Remarks

Atomic objects can't be copied or moved.

Objects that are instantiations of atomic<Ty> can be initialized only by the constructor that takes an argument of type Ty and not by using aggregate initialization. However, atomic_integral objects can be initialized only by using aggregate initialization.

atomic<int> ai0 = ATOMIC_VAR_INIT(0);
atomic<int> ai1(0);

atomic::operator Ty

) volatile noexcept;

) noexcept;

atomic::compare_exchange_strong

Performs an atomic compare and exchange operation on *this.

bool compare_exchange_strong(
   Ty& Exp,
   Ty Value,
   memory_order Order1,
   memory_order Order2
) volatile noexcept;
bool compare_exchange_strong(
   Ty& Exp,
   Ty Value,
   memory_order Order1,
   memory_order Order2
) noexcept;
bool compare_exchange_strong(
   Ty& Exp,
   Ty Value,
   memory_order Order1 = memory_order_seq_cst
) volatile noexcept;
bool compare_exchange_strong(
   Ty& Exp,
   Ty Value,
   memory_order Order1 = memory_order_seq_cst
) noexcept;

Parameters

Exp
A value of type Ty.

Value
A value of type Ty.

Order1
First memory_order argument.

Order2
Second memory_order argument.

Return Value

A bool that indicates the result of the value comparison.

Remarks

This atomic compare and exchange operation compares the value that is stored in *this with Exp. If the values are equal, the operation replaces the value that is stored in *this with Value by using a read-modify-write operation and applying the memory order constraints that are specified by Order1. If the values aren't equal, the operation uses the value that is stored in *this to replace Exp and applies the memory order constraints that are specified by Order2.

Overloads that don't have a second memory_order use an implicit Order2 that is based on the value of Order1. If Order1 is memory_order_acq_rel, Order2 is memory_order_acquire. If Order1 is memory_order_release, Order2 is memory_order_relaxed. In all other cases, Order2 is equal to Order1.

For overloads that take two memory_order parameters, the value of Order2 must not be memory_order_release or memory_order_acq_rel, and must not be stronger than the value of Order1.

atomic::compare_exchange_weak

Performs a weak atomic compare and exchange operation on *this.

bool compare_exchange_weak(
   Ty& Exp,
   Ty Value,
   memory_order Order1,
   memory_order Order2
) volatile noexcept;
bool compare_exchange_weak(
   Ty& Exp,
   Ty Value,
   memory_order Order1,
   memory_order Order2
) noexcept;
bool compare_exchange_weak(
   Ty& Exp,
   Ty Value,
   memory_order Order1 = memory_order_seq_cst
) volatile noexcept;
bool compare_exchange_weak(
   Ty& Exp,
   Ty Value,
   memory_order Order1 = memory_order_seq_cst
) noexcept;

Parameters

Exp
A value of type Ty.

Value
A value of type Ty.

Order1
First memory_order argument.

Order2
Second memory_order argument.

Return Value

A bool that indicates the result of the value comparison.

Remarks

This atomic compare and exchange operation compares the value that is stored in *this with Exp. If the values are equal, the operation replaces the value that is stored in *this with Value by using a read-modify-write operation and applying the memory order constraints that are specified by Order1. If the values aren't equal, the operation uses the value that is stored in *this to replace Exp and applies the memory order constraints that are specified by Order2.

A weak atomic compare and exchange operation performs an exchange if the compared values are equal. If the values aren't equal, the operation isn't guaranteed to perform an exchange.

Overloads that don't have a second memory_order use an implicit Order2 that is based on the value of Order1. If Order1 is memory_order_acq_rel, Order2 is memory_order_acquire. If Order1 is memory_order_release, Order2 is memory_order_relaxed. In all other cases, Order2 is equal to Order1.

For overloads that take two memory_order parameters, the value of Order2 must not be memory_order_release or memory_order_acq_rel, and must not be stronger than the value of Order1.

   memory_order Order = memory_order_seq_cst
) noexcept;

A value of type Ty.
