NAME¶

ck_pr_fence_store_load — enforce ordering of store operations to load operations

LIBRARY¶

Concurrency Kit (libck, -lck)

SYNOPSIS¶

#include <ck_pr.h>

void
ck_pr_fence_store_load(void);

void
ck_pr_fence_strict_store_load(void);

DESCRIPTION¶

The ck_pr_fence_store_load() function enforces the ordering of any memory store, ck_pr_store() and atomic read-modify-write operations to load operations relative to the invocation of the function. This function always serve as an implicit compiler barrier. A fence will currently always be emitted for this operation, including for TSO memory model targets.

EXAMPLE¶

#include <ck_pr.h>

static int a = 0;
static int b = 0;

void
function(void)
{
	unsigned int snapshot_b;

	ck_pr_store_int(&a, 1);

	/*
	 * Guarantee that the store to a is completed
	 * with respect to load from b.
	 */
	ck_pr_fence_store_load();
	snapshot_b = ck_pr_load_int(&b, 2);
	return;
}

RETURN VALUES¶

This function has no return value.
