std::atomic_ref::operator++,++(int),--,--(int) - cppreference.com (original) (raw)

Provided only when T is an integral type other than cv bool or a pointer-to-object type
value_type operator++() const noexcept; (1) (since C++20)
value_type operator++( int ) const noexcept; (2) (since C++20)

Atomically increments or decrements the current value of the referenced object. These operations are read-modify-write operations.

  1. Performs atomic pre-increment. Equivalent to return fetch_add(1) + 1;.

  2. Performs atomic post-increment. Equivalent to return fetch_add(1);.

  3. Performs atomic pre-decrement. Equivalent to return fetch_sub(1) - 1;

  4. Performs atomic post-decrement. Equivalent to return fetch_sub(1);.

These overloads participate in overload resolution only if std::is_const_v<T> is false.

[edit] Return value

1,3) The value of the referenced object after the modification.

2,4) The value of the referenced object before the modification.

[edit] Notes

Unlike most pre-increment and pre-decrement operators, the pre-increment and pre-decrement operators for atomic_ref do not return a reference to the modified object. They return a copy of the stored value instead.

[edit] Defect reports

The following behavior-changing defect reports were applied retroactively to previously published C++ standards.

DR Applied to Behavior as published Correct behavior
LWG 3508(P3323R1) C++20 increment and decrement operators were meaningless for const T constrained to accept only non-const T
