29.7.3 Specializations for floating-point types [atomics.types.float]

There are specializations of the atomic class template for the floating-point types float, double, and long double.
For each such type floating-point, the specialization atomic<floating-point> provides additional atomic operations appropriate to floating-point types.

The atomic floating-point specializations are standard-layout structs.
They each have a trivial default constructor and a trivial destructor.
Descriptions are provided below only for members that differ from the primary template.
The following operations perform arithmetic addition and subtraction computations.
The key, operator, and computation correspondence are identified in Table 133.
T A::fetch_key(T operand, memory_order order = memory_order_seq_cst) volatile noexcept; T A::fetch_key(T operand, memory_order order = memory_order_seq_cst) noexcept;
Effects: Atomically replaces the value pointed to by this with the result of the computation applied to the value pointed to by this and the given operand.
Memory is affected according to the value of order.
These operations are atomic read-modify-write operations ([intro.multithread]).
Returns: Atomically, the value pointed to by this immediately before the effects.
Remarks: If the result is not a representable value for its type ([expr.pre]) the result is unspecified, but the operations otherwise have no undefined behavior.
Atomic arithmetic operations on floating-point should conform to the std​::​numeric_­limits<floating-point> traits associated with the floating-point type ([limits.syn]).
The floating-point environment ([cfenv]) for atomic arithmetic operations on floating-point may be different than the calling thread's floating-point environment.
T operator op=(T operand) volatile noexcept; T operator op=(T operand) noexcept;
Effects: Equivalent to: return fetch_­key(operand) op operand;
Remarks: If the result is not a representable value for its type ([expr.pre]) the result is unspecified, but the operations otherwise have no undefined behavior.
