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

Provided only when T is an arithmetic type other than cv bool or a pointer-to-object type
value_type operator+=( difference_type arg ) const noexcept; (1) (constexpr since C++26)
value_type operator-=( difference_type arg ) const noexcept; (2) (constexpr since C++26)

Atomically replaces the current value referenced by *_[ptr](../atomic%5Fref.html#ptr "cpp/atomic/atomic ref")_ with the result of computation involving the previous value and arg. These operations are read-modify-write operations.

  1. operator+= performs atomic addition. Equivalent to return fetch_add(arg) + arg;.

  2. operator-= performs atomic subtraction. Equivalent to return fetch_sub(arg) - arg;.

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

[edit] Parameters

arg - the argument for the arithmetic operation

[edit] Return value

The resulting value (that is, the result of applying the corresponding binary operator to the value referenced by *_[ptr](../atomic%5Fref.html#ptr "cpp/atomic/atomic ref")_ immediately preceding the effects of the corresponding member function).

[edit] Notes

Unlike most compound assignment operators, the compound assignment operators for atomic_ref return a copy of the stored value instead of a reference to arg.
