CK_PR_FENCE_STORE_ATOMIC(3) Library Functions Manual CK_PR_FENCE_STORE_ATOMIC(3)

NAME

ck_pr_fence_store_atomic —
enforce ordering of store operations to load operations

LIBRARY

Concurrency Kit (libck, -lck)

SYNOPSIS

#include <ck_pr.h>
void
ck_pr_fence_store_atomic(void);
void
ck_pr_fence_strict_store_atomic(void);

DESCRIPTION

The ck_pr_fence_store_atomic() function enfores 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.

EXAMPLE


#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.
