Provided only when T is an integral type other than cv bool
value_type operator&=( value_type arg ) const noexcept;	(1)	(since C++20)
value_type operator|=( value_type arg ) const noexcept;	(2)	(since C++20)
value_type operator^=( value_type arg ) const noexcept;	(3)	(since C++20)

Atomically replaces the current value of the referenced object with the result of computation involving the previous value and arg. These operations are read-modify-write operations.

• operator&= performs atomic bitwise AND. Equivalent to return fetch_and(arg) & arg;.
• operator!= performs atomic bitwise OR. Equivalent to return fetch_or(arg) | arg;.
• operator^= performs atomic bitwise XOR. Equivalent to return fetch_xor(arg) ^ arg;.

These overloads participate in overload resolution only if std::is_const_v<T> is false.

Parameters

arg

-

the argument for the arithmetic operation

Return value

The resulting value (that is, the result of applying the corresponding binary operator to the value immediately preceding the effects of the corresponding member function).

Notes

Unlike most compound assignment operators, the compound assignment operators for atomic_ref do not return a reference to their left-hand arguments. They return a copy of the stored value instead.

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	compound assignment operators were meaningless for const T	constrained to accept only non-const T
