/**
    This function increments @a value in an atomic manner.

    @note It is recommended to use @c std::atomic instead of this function in
    any new code.

    Whenever possible wxWidgets provides an efficient, CPU-specific,
    implementation of this function. If such implementation is available, the
    symbol wxHAS_ATOMIC_OPS is defined. Otherwise this function still exists
    but is implemented in a generic way using a critical section which can be
    prohibitively expensive for use in performance-sensitive code.

    Returns the new value after the increment (the return value is only
    available since wxWidgets 3.1.7, this function doesn't return anything in
    previous versions of the library).
