std::atomic is a C++ library that provides atomic operations for shared memory concurrency. It allows developers to perform operations on shared variables in a way that ensures their manipulation is atomic, meaning that it is guaranteed to be executed as a single indivisible operation. This ensures that other concurrent threads cannot observe intermediate results or cause race conditions when accessing the same variable simultaneously. std::atomic offers various data types, such as integers and booleans, and supports a wide range of operations, including fetch-and-add, compare-and-swap, and load-and-store. By using std::atomic, programmers can create thread-safe code with minimal synchronization overhead.
