SYNOPSIS

11     #include <ck_pr.h>
12
13     void
14     ck_pr_fence_atomic_store(void);
15
16     void
17     ck_pr_fence_strict_atomic_store(void);

DESCRIPTION

20     The ck_pr_fence_atomic_store() function enforces the ordering of any
21     atomic read-modify-write operations relative to any load operations fol‐
22     lowing the function invocation. This function always serve as an implicit
23     compiler barrier. On architectures implementing CK_MD_TSO, this operation
24     only serves as a compiler barrier and no fences are emitted. To force the
25     unconditional emission of a fence, use ck_pr_fence_strict_atomic_store().

EXAMPLE

28           #include <ck_pr.h>
29
30           static int a = 0;
31           static int b = 0;
32
33           void
34           function(void)
35           {
36                   int c;
37
38                   ck_pr_fas_int(&a, 1);
39
40                   /*
41                    * Guarantee that the update to a is completed
42                    * with respect to the store into the value pointed
43                    * to by b.
44                    */
45                   ck_pr_fence_atomic_store();
46                   c = ck_pr_store_int(&b, 2);
47
48                   return;
49           }
