Atomically replaces the current value with the result of arithmetic addition of the value and arg. The operation is read-modify-write operation. Memory is affected according to the value of memory_order.

For signed Integral types, arithmetic is defined to use two’s complement representation. There are no undefined results. For T* types, the result may be an undefined address, but the operations otherwise have no undefined behavior.
