NAME¶
ck_pr_fence_load_store
—
enforce ordering of load operations to store
operations
LIBRARY¶
Concurrency Kit (libck, -lck)
SYNOPSIS¶
#include
<ck_pr.h>
void
ck_pr_fence_load_store
(
void);
void
ck_pr_fence_strict_load_store
(
void);
DESCRIPTION¶
This function enforces the ordering of any memory load and
ck_pr_load
(
3)
operations with respect to store operations relative to the invocation of the
function. Any store operations that were committed on remote processors and
received by the calling processor before the invocation of
ck_pr_fence_load_store
() is also be made
visible only after a call to the ck_pr_fence_load family of functions. This
function always serves as an implicit compiler barrier. On architectures with
CK_MD_TSO or CK_MD_PSO specified (total store ordering and partial store
ordering respectively), this operation only serves as a compiler barrier and
no fence instructions will be emitted. To force the unconditional emission of
a load fence, use
ck_pr_fence_strict_load_store
().
Architectures implementing CK_MD_RMO always emit a fence.
EXAMPLE¶
#include <ck_pr.h>
static unsigned int a;
static unsigned int b;
void
function(void)
{
unsigned int snapshot_a;
snapshot_a = ck_pr_load_uint(&a);
/*
* Guarantee that the load from "a" completes
* before the store to "b".
*/
ck_pr_fence_load_store();
ck_pr_store_uint(&b, 1);
return;
}
RETURN VALUES¶
This function has no return value.
