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. .Sh EXAMPLE .Bd -literal -offset indent #include 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; } .Ed .Sh RETURN VALUES This function has no return value. .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr ck_pr_stall 3 , .Xr ck_pr_fence_atomic 3 , .Xr ck_pr_fence_atomic_store 3 , .Xr ck_pr_fence_atomic_load 3 , .Xr ck_pr_fence_load 3 , .Xr ck_pr_fence_load_atomic 3 , .Xr ck_pr_fence_load_store 3 , .Xr ck_pr_fence_load_depends 3 , .Xr ck_pr_fence_store 3 , .Xr ck_pr_fence_store_atomic 3 , .Xr ck_pr_fence_memory 3 , .Xr ck_pr_barrier 3 , .Xr ck_pr_fas 3 , .Xr ck_pr_load 3 , .Xr ck_pr_store 3 , .Xr ck_pr_faa 3 , .Xr ck_pr_inc 3 , .Xr ck_pr_dec 3 , .Xr ck_pr_neg 3 , .Xr ck_pr_not 3 , .Xr ck_pr_add 3 , .Xr ck_pr_sub 3 , .Xr ck_pr_and 3 , .Xr ck_pr_or 3 , .Xr ck_pr_xor 3 , .Xr ck_pr_cas 3 , .Xr ck_pr_btc 3 , .Xr ck_pr_bts 3 , .Xr ck_pr_btr 3 .Pp Additional information available at http://concurrencykit.org/
