Thread: Using atomic types

In C is equivalent to use atomic types without calling atomic_load, atomic_store or atomic_fetch_add but using the standard C syntax of non atomic variables.

These 2 pieces of codes are really equivalent and portable?
With atomic functions:

Code:

atomic_int var;
atomic_store(&var,10);
if (atomic_load(&var))
{
...
}
atomic_fetch_add(&var,1);
atomic_fetch_add(&var,10);

With standard syntax:

Code:

atomic_int var;
var=10;
if (var)
{
...
}
var++;
var+=10;

I've tried with compiler explorer and seemed the same but I want to be sure that the standard syntax is equivalent in calling the relative atomic functions and it is portable.

I have tried in C. In C++ is of course the same because there are the operators overloading
