Description
It is not sufficiently clear that the only atomic operations are the ones defined in clause 32 [atomics] by the library. The intent is that no accesses are atomic unless the Standard describes them as such.
An additional problem is that, e.g., new and delete are defined to be synchronization operations, but they are not defined in Clauses 32 [atomics] and 33 [thread].
CWG telecon 2017-04-10 determined this issue was editorial.
