OpenMP has its own support for atomic access, however, there are at least two reasons for preferring C++11 atomics: they are significantly more flexible and they are part of the standard. On the other hand, OpenMP is more powerful than the C++11 thread library.
The standard specifies the atomic operations library and the thread support library in two distinct chapters. This makes me to believe that the components for atomic access are kind of orthogonal to the thread library used. Can I indeed combine C++11 atomics and OpenMP?
There is a very similar question on Stack Overflow; however, it has been basically unanswered for three years, since its answer does not answer the actual question.
