# atomic_fetch_and, atomic_fetch_and_explicit

From cppreference.com
< c‎ | atomic

Defined in header `<stdatomic.h>` |  |
C atomic_fetch_and( volatile A* obj, M arg ); | (1) | (since C11)
C atomic_fetch_and_explicity( volatile A* obj, M arg, memory_order order ); | (2) | (since C11)

Atomically replaces the value pointed by `obj` with the result of bitwise AND between the old value of `obj` and `arg`, and returns the value `obj` held previously. The operation is read-modify-write operation. The first version orders memory accesses according to memory_order_seq_cst, the second version orders memory accesses according to `order`.

This is a generic function defined for all atomic object types. `A` is the type of an atomic object, `M` is either the non-atomic type corresponding to `A` if `A` is atomic integer type, or ptrdiff_t if `A` is atomic pointer type.

### [edit] Parameters

obj | - | pointer to the atomic object to modify
arg | - | the value to bitwise AND to the value stored in the atomic object
order | - | the memory sycnhronization ordering for this operation: all values are permitted

### [edit] Return value

The value held previously be the atomic object pointed to by `obj`.
