ck_pr_fence_atomic_load(3)

Usage

#include <ck_pr.h>

void

ck_pr_fence_atomic_load(void);

void

ck_pr_fence_strict_atomic_load(void);

Library

Concurrency Kit (libck, -lck)

Overview

The ck_pr_fence_atomic_load() function enforces the ordering of any atomic read-modify-write operations relative to any load operations following the function invocation. This function always serve as an implicit compiler barrier. On architectures implementing CK_MD_TSO, this operation only serves as a compiler barrier and no fences are emitted. To force the unconditional emission of a fence, use ck_pr_fence_strict_atomic_load().

Examples

#include <ck_pr.h>
static int a = 0;
static int b = 0;
void
function(void)
{
	int c;
	ck_pr_fas_int(&a, 1);
	/*
	 * Guarantee that the update to a is completed
	 * with respect to the load of *b.
	 */
	ck_pr_fence_atomic_load();
	c = ck_pr_load_int(&b);
	return;
}

Return values

This function has no return value.
