is increment on shared ulong atomic operation?

If I define a shared ulong variable, is increment an atomic operation?
E.g.
shared ulong t;
...
t++;
It seems as if it ought to be, but it could be split into read,
increment, store.
I started off defining a shared struct, but that seems silly, as if the
operations defined within a shared struct are synced, then the operation
on a shared variable should be synced, but "+=" is clearly stated not to
be synchronized, so I'm uncertain.
