# std::atomic<T>::atomic

From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | atomic‎ | atomic

atomic() noexcept = default; | (1) | (since C++11)
constexpr atomic( T desired ) noexcept; | (2) | (since C++11)
atomic( const atomic& ) = delete; | (3) | (since C++11)

Constructs new atomic variable.

1) The default constructor is trivial: no initialization takes place other than zero initialization of static and thread-local objects. std::atomic_init may be used to complete initialization.
2) Initializes the underlying value with `desired`. The initialization is not atomic.
3) Atomic variables are not CopyConstructible.

### Parameters

desired | - | value to initialize with

### Notes

The default-initialized std::atomic<T> does not contain a `T` object, and its only valid uses are destruction and initialization by std::atomic_init, see LWG 2334
