The reference says shared_ptr offers the same thread-safety as built-in types. I've interpreted this as they're like integers for example which need to be updated in atomic operations if they're shared among threads and simultaneously read and written. This is why TBB offers atomic<T> isn't it?

Well, I may be wrong but I don't think shared_ptr is "atomic". Could someone please shed some light on this.
