ck_pr_fence_store_atomic3

Enforce ordering of store operations to load operations

Usage

#include <ck_pr.h>

void

ck_pr_fence_store_atomic(void);

void

ck_pr_fence_strict_store_atomic(void);

Library

Concurrency Kit (libck, -lck)

Overview

The ck_pr_fence_store_atomic() function enforces the ordering of any memory store, ck_pr_store() and atomic read-modify-write operations to atomic read-modify-write operations relative to the invocation of the function. This function always serve as an implicit compiler barrier. This functions will emit a fence for PSO and RMO targets. In order to force the emission of a fence use the ck_pr_fence_strict_store_atomic() function.

Examples

#include <ck_pr.h>
static int a = 0;
static int b = 0;
void
function(void)
{
	ck_pr_store_int(&a, 1);
	/*
	 * Guarantee that the store to a is completed
	 * with respect to the update of b.
	 */
	ck_pr_fence_store_atomic();
	ck_pr_add_int(&b, 2);
	return;
}

Return values

This function has no return value.
