I doubt there is such a natural atomic operation in C++. If you use a library to force anything to be atomic, then it should. I would say no in this case.

Yes, when applied to integers and pointers they are always atomic, but the overloaded ++/-- are not, since they are translated by the compiler into instructions that are more than one.
