Atomic Fetch and Modify Functions<br />

These functions atomically read-compute-modify an atomic object.<br />

computation C operator function<br />

addition + atomic_fetch_add_explicit<br />

subtraction - atomic_fetch_sub_explicit<br />

or | atomic_fetch_or_explicit<br />

xor ^ atomic_fetch_xor_explicit<br />

and & atomic_fetch_and_explicit<br />

Plus <strong>the</strong> usual non-explicit functions, for example:<br />

C atomic_fetch_add(volatile A* ptr, M value); adds value<br />

to what A po<strong>in</strong>ts to.<br />

If A is arithmetic <strong>the</strong>n M is C and if it’s atomic_address <strong>the</strong>n M is<br />

ptr_diff_t.<br />

The value of *ptr before <strong>the</strong> operation is returned.<br />
