This adds
Atomic{I,U}*::{add,sub,and,or,xor}
andAtomicBool::{and,or,xor}
methods.They are equivalent to the corresponding
fetch_*
methods, but do not return the previous value. They are intended for optimization on platforms that implement atomics using inline assembly, such as the MSP430.Currently, optimizations by these methods (add,sub,and,or,xor) are only guaranteed for MSP430; on x86, LLVM can optimize in most cases, so cases, where this would improve things, should be rare.
See pftbest/msp430-atomic#7 for the context.
