T atomicOp(string op, T, V1)(ref shared T val, V1 mod);
Performs the binary operation 'op' on val using 'mod' as the modifier.

Parameters:
val The target variable.
mod The modifier to apply.

Returns:
The result of the operation.

bool cas(T, V1, V2)(shared(T)* here, const V1 ifThis, const V2 writeThis);
Stores 'writeThis' to the memory referenced by 'here' if the value referenced by 'here' is equal to 'ifThis'. This operation is both lock-free and atomic.

Parameters:
