Integral atomic_fetch_and( std::atomic<Integral>* obj, Integral arg );

Integral atomic_fetch_and_explicit( std::atomic<Integral>* obj,
                                    Integral arg,

                                    std::memory_order order);

Integral atomic_fetch_and_explicit( volatile std::atomic<Integral>* obj,
                                    Integral arg,

                                    std::memory_order order);

Atomically replaces the value pointed by arg with the result of bitwise AND between the old value of obj and arg. Returns the value obj held previously.

The operation is performed as if the following is executed:

1) obj->fetch_and(arg)
2) obj->fetch_and(arg, order)

[edit] Parameters

obj - pointer to the atomic object to modify. bool is not an Integral type for the purposes of the atomic operations.
arg - the value to bitwise AND to the value stored in the atomic object
order - the memory synchronization ordering for this operation: all values are permitted.

[edit] Return value

The value held previously by the atomic object pointed to by obj

[edit] Exceptions

[edit] Possible implementation

template< class T >
typename std::enable_if<std::is_integral<T>::value && !std::is_same<T, bool>::value, T>::type
    atomic_fetch_and(std::atomic<T>* obj, T arg);
{
    return obj->fetch_and(arg);
}

[edit] Example

#include <iostream>
#include <atomic>
#include <thread>
#include <chrono>
#include <functional>
 
// Binary semaphore for demonstrative purposes only
// This is a simple yet meaningful example: atomic operations
// are unnecessary without threads. 
class Semaphore {
    std::atomic_char m_signaled;
  public:
    Semaphore(bool initial = false)
    {
        m_signaled = initial;
    }
    // Block until semaphore is signaled
    void take() 
    {
        while (!std::atomic_fetch_and(&m_signaled, false)) {
            std::this_thread::sleep_for(std::chrono::milliseconds(10));
        }
    }
 
    void put() 
    {
        std::atomic_fetch_or(&m_signaled, true);
    }
};
 
class ThreadedCounter {
    static const int N = 100;
    static const int REPORT_INTERVAL = 10;
    int m_count;
    bool m_done;
    Semaphore m_count_sem;
    Semaphore m_print_sem;
 
    void count_up() 
    {
        for (m_count = 1; m_count <= N; m_count++) {
            if (m_count % REPORT_INTERVAL == 0) {
                if (m_count == N) m_done = true;
                m_print_sem.put(); // signal printing to occur
                m_count_sem.take(); // wait until printing is complete proceeding
            }
        }
        std::cout << "count_up() done\n";
        m_done = true;
        m_print_sem.put();
    }
 
    void print_count() 
    {
        do {
            m_print_sem.take();
            std::cout << m_count << '\n';
            m_count_sem.put();
        } while (!m_done);
        std::cout << "print_count() done\n";
    }
 
  public:
    ThreadedCounter() : m_done(false) {}
    void run() 
    {
        auto print_thread = std::thread(&ThreadedCounter::print_count, this);
        auto count_thread = std::thread(&ThreadedCounter::count_up, this);
        print_thread.join();
        count_thread.join();
    }
};
 
int main() 
{
    ThreadedCounter m_counter;
    m_counter.run();
}

Output:

10
20
30
40
50
60
70
80
90
100
print_count() done
count_up() done
