constexpr atomic() noexcept;
1
#
Effects: Value-initializes p.
🔗
constexpr atomic(weak_ptr<T> desired) noexcept;
2
#
Effects: Initializes the object with the value desired.
Initialization is not an atomic operation ([intro.multithread]).
[Note 1: 
It is possible to have an access to an atomic object A race with its construction, for example, by communicating the address of the just-constructed object A to another thread via memory_order​::​relaxed operations on a suitable atomic pointer variable, and then immediately accessing A in the receiving thread.
This results in undefined behavior.

constexpr void store(weak_ptr<T> desired, memory_order order = memory_order::seq_cst) noexcept;
3
#
Preconditions: order is memory_order​::​relaxed, memory_order​::​release, or memory_order​::​seq_cst.
4
#
Effects: Atomically replaces the value pointed to by this with the value of desired as if by p.swap(desired).
Memory is affected according to the value of order.
🔗
constexpr void operator=(weak_ptr<T> desired) noexcept;
5
#
Effects: Equivalent to store(desired).
🔗
constexpr weak_ptr<T> load(memory_order order = memory_order::seq_cst) const noexcept;
6
#
Preconditions: order is memory_order​::​relaxed, memory_order​::​acquire, or memory_order​::​seq_cst.
7
#
Effects: Memory is affected according to the value of order.
8
#
Returns: Atomically returns p.
🔗
constexpr operator weak_ptr<T>() const noexcept;
9
#
Effects: Equivalent to: return load();
🔗
constexpr weak_ptr<T> exchange(weak_ptr<T> desired, memory_order order = memory_order::seq_cst) noexcept;
10
#
Effects: Atomically replaces p with desired as if by p.swap(desired).
Memory is affected according to the value of order.
This is an atomic read-modify-write operation ([intro.races]).
11
#
Returns: Atomically returns the value of p immediately before the effects.
🔗
constexpr bool compare_exchange_weak(weak_ptr<T>& expected, weak_ptr<T> desired, memory_order success, memory_order failure) noexcept; constexpr bool compare_exchange_strong(weak_ptr<T>& expected, weak_ptr<T> desired, memory_order success, memory_order failure) noexcept;
12
#
Preconditions: failure is memory_order​::​relaxed, memory_order​::​acquire, or memory_order​::​seq_cst.
13
#
Effects: If p is equivalent to expected, assigns desired to p and has synchronization semantics corresponding to the value of success, otherwise assigns p to expected and has synchronization semantics corresponding to the value of failure.
14
#
Returns: true if p was equivalent to expected, false otherwise.
15
#
Remarks: Two weak_ptr objects are equivalent if they store the same pointer value and either share ownership or are both empty.
The weak form may fail spuriously.
16
#
If the operation returns true, expected is not accessed after the atomic update and the operation is an atomic read-modify-write operation ([intro.multithread]) on the memory pointed to by this.
Otherwise, the operation is an atomic load operation on that memory, and expected is updated with the existing value read from the atomic object in the attempted atomic update.
The use_count update corresponding to the write to expected is part of the atomic operation.
The write to expected itself is not required to be part of the atomic operation.

constexpr bool compare_exchange_weak(weak_ptr<T>& expected, weak_ptr<T> desired, memory_order order = memory_order::seq_cst) noexcept;
17
#
Effects: Equivalent to: return compare_exchange_weak(expected, desired, order, fail_order); where fail_order is the same as order except that a value of memory_order​::​acq_rel shall be replaced by the value memory_order​::​acquire and a value of memory_order​::​release shall be replaced by the value memory_order​::​relaxed.
🔗
constexpr bool compare_exchange_strong(weak_ptr<T>& expected, weak_ptr<T> desired, memory_order order = memory_order::seq_cst) noexcept;
18
#
Effects: Equivalent to: return compare_exchange_strong(expected, desired, order, fail_order); where fail_order is the same as order except that a value of memory_order​::​acq_rel shall be replaced by the value memory_order​::​acquire and a value of memory_order​::​release shall be replaced by the value memory_order​::​relaxed.
🔗
constexpr void wait(weak_ptr<T> old, memory_order order = memory_order::seq_cst) const noexcept;
19
#
Preconditions: order is memory_order​::​relaxed, memory_order​::​acquire, or memory_order​::​seq_cst.
20
#
Effects: Repeatedly performs the following steps, in order:
  • (20.1)
    Evaluates load(order) and compares it to old.
  • (20.2)
    If the two are not equivalent, returns.
  • (20.3)
    Blocks until it is unblocked by an atomic notifying operation or is unblocked spuriously.
21
#
Remarks: Two weak_ptr objects are equivalent if they store the same pointer and either share ownership or are both empty.
This function is an atomic waiting operation ([atomics.wait]).
🔗
constexpr void notify_one() noexcept;
22
#
Effects: Unblocks the execution of at least one atomic waiting operation that is eligible to be unblocked ([atomics.wait]) by this call, if any such atomic waiting operations exist.
23
#
Remarks: This function is an atomic notifying operation ([atomics.wait]).
🔗
constexpr void notify_all() noexcept;
24
#
Effects: Unblocks the execution of all atomic waiting operations that are eligible to be unblocked ([atomics.wait]) by this call.
25

Remarks: This function is an atomic notifying operation ([atomics.wait]).
