		<p>An 
		  <samp class="codeph">atomic&lt;T&gt;</samp> supports atomic read, write,
		  fetch-and-add, fetch-and-store, and compare-and-swap. Type T may be an integral
		  type, enumeration type, or a pointer type. When T is a pointer type, arithmetic
		  operations are interpreted as pointer arithmetic. For example, if 
		  <samp class="codeph"><em>x</em></samp> has type 
		  <samp class="codeph">atomic&lt;float*&gt;</samp> and a float occupies four bytes,
		  then 
		  <samp class="codeph"><em>++x</em></samp> advances 
		  <samp class="codeph"><em>x</em></samp> by four bytes. Arithmetic on 
		  <samp class="codeph">atomic&lt;T&gt;</samp> is not allowed if 
		  <samp class="codeph">T</samp> is an enumeration type, 
		  <samp class="codeph">void*</samp>, or 
		  <samp class="codeph">bool</samp>. 
		</p>
 
		<p>Some of the methods have template method variants
		  that permit more selective memory fencing. On IA-32 and Intel&reg; 64 architecture
		  processors, they have the same effect as the non-templated variants. On
		  processors with IA-64 architecture, they may improve performance by allowing
		  the memory subsystem more latitude on the orders of reads and write. Using them
		  may improve performance. The table below shows the fencing for the non-template
		  form.

					Caution</h3> 
		  <p>The copy constructor for class 
			 <samp class="codeph">atomic&lt;T&gt;</samp> is not atomic. To atomically copy
			 an<samp class="codeph"> atomic&lt;T&gt;</samp>, default-construct the copy first and
			 assign to it. Below is an example that shows the difference. 
		  </p>
 
		</div> 
		<pre>      
           atomic&lt;T&gt; y(x);  // Not atomic
           atomic&lt;T&gt; z;
           z=x;             // Atomic assignment</pre> 
		<p>The copy constructor is not atomic because it is
		  compiler generated. In C++03 introducing any non-trivial constructors might
		  remove an important property of 
		  <samp class="codeph">atomic&lt;T&gt;</samp>: namespace scope instances are
		  zero-initialized before namespace scope dynamic initializers run. This property
		  can be essential for code executing early during program startup. 
		</p>
 
		<p>In C++03, to create an 
		  <samp class="codeph">atomic&lt;T&gt;</samp> with a specific value,
		  default-construct it first, and afterwards assign a value to it. In C++11 there
		  is 
		  <samp class="codeph">constexpr</samp> single argument constructor.
