All Atomic Operations

Explore all atomic operations in C++ and how they apply to various atomic types such as atomic_flag, atomic<bool>, integral, and user-defined types. Learn their roles in synchronization, thread safety, and how atomic methods vary by type to help you build correct multithreaded code.

We'll cover the following...

To get the full picture, here is a list of all atomic operations depending on the atomic type.

Method	`atomic_flag`	`atomic<bool>`	*`atomic<T\>`**	`atomic<integral>`	`atomic<user defined>`
`test_and_set`
