add

Atomically adds val to the value of atomic.

Think of this operation as an atomic version of `{ tmp = *atomic; *atomic += val; return tmp; }`.

This call acts as a full compiler and hardware memory barrier.

Before version 2.30, this function did not return a value (but exchange_and_add did, and had the same meaning).

Parameters:

atomic	a pointer to a int or uint
val	the value to add

Returns:

the value of atomic before the add, signed
