The std::atomic_ref class template applies atomic operations to the object it references. For the lifetime of the std::atomic_ref object, the object it references is considered an atomic object. If one thread writes to an atomic object while another thread reads from it, the behavior is well-defined (see memory model for details on data races). In addition, accesses to atomic objects may establish inter-thread synchronization and order non-atomic memory accesses as specified by std::memory_order.

The lifetime of an object must exceed the lifetime of all std::atomic_refs that references the object. While any std::atomic_ref instance referencing an object exists, the object must be exclusively accessed through these std::atomic_ref instances. No subobject of an object referenced by an std::atomic_ref object may be concurrently referenced by any other std::atomic_ref object.

Atomic operations applied to an object through an std::atomic_ref are atomic with respect to atomic operations applied through any other std::atomic_ref referencing the same object.

std::atomic_ref is CopyConstructible.

Like language references, constness is shallow for std::atomic_ref - it is possible to modify the referenced value through a const std::atomic_ref object.

Contents

Specializations

Primary template

The primary std::atomic_ref template may be instantiated with any TriviallyCopyable type T (including bool):

struct Counters { int a; int b; } counter; // user-defined trivially-copyable type
std::atomic_ref<Counters> cnt(counter);    // specialization for the user-defined type

Partial specialization for pointer types

The standard library provides partial specializations of the std::atomic_ref template for all pointer types. In addition to the operations provided for all atomic types, these specializations additionally support atomic arithmetic operations appropriate to pointer types, such as fetch_add, fetch_sub.

Specializations for integral types

When instantiated with one of the following integral types, std::atomic_ref provides additional atomic operations appropriate to integral types such as fetch_add, fetch_sub, fetch_and, fetch_or, fetch_xor:

  • The character types char, char8_t, char16_t, char32_t, and wchar_t;
  • The standard signed integer types: signed char, short, int, long, and long long;
  • The standard unsigned integer types: unsigned char, unsigned short, unsigned int, unsigned long, and unsigned long long;
  • Any additional integral types needed by the typedefs in the header <cstdint>.

Signed integer arithmetic is defined to use two's complement; there are no undefined results.

Specializations for floating-point types

When instantiated with one of the floating-point types (float, double, long double and extended floating-point types(since C++23)), std::atomic_ref provides additional atomic operations appropriate to floating-point types such as fetch_add and fetch_sub.

No operations result in undefined behavior even if the result is not representable in the floating-point type. The floating-point environment in effect may be different from the calling thread's floating-point environment.

Member types

Member type Definition
value_type see below
difference_type value_type (only for atomic_ref<Integral> and atomic_ref<Floating> specializations)
std::ptrdiff_t (only for std::atomic_ref<T*> specializations)

For every std::atomic_ref<X> (whether or not specialized), std::atomic_ref<X>::value_type is X.

difference_type is not defined in the primary atomic_ref template.
