Atomically replaces the current value with the result of computation involving the previous value and `arg`. The operation is read-modify-write operation.

1) Performs atomic addition. Equivalent to fetch_add(arg) + arg.
2) Performs atomic subtraction. Equivalent to fetch_sub(arg) - arg.
3) Performs atomic bitwise and. Equivalent to fetch_and(arg) & arg.
4) Performs atomic bitwise or. Equivalent to fetch_or(arg) | arg.
5) Performs atomic bitwise exclusive or. Equivalent to fetch_xor(arg) ^ arg.

For signed `Integral` types, arithmetic is defined to use two’s complement representation. There are no undefined results. For `T*` types, the result may be an undefined address, but the operations otherwise have no undefined behavior.

### [edit] Parameters

arg | - | the argument for the arithmetic operation

### [edit] 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 in the modification order of `*this`)

### [edit] Exceptions

`noexcept` specification:
noexcept

### [edit] Notes

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