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

value_type operator=( value_type desired ) const noexcept; (1) (constexpr since C++26)
atomic_ref& operator=( const atomic_ref& ) = delete; (2)
  1. Equivalent to store(desired); return desired;. This overload participates in overload resolution only if std::is_const_v<T> is false.

[edit] Parameters

desired - value to assign

[edit] Return value

As described above.

[edit] Notes

Unlike most assignment operators, the assignment operator for atomic_ref does not return a reference to its left-hand argument. It returns 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 assignment operator was meaningless for const T constrained to accept only non-const T
