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  commit-
       ted  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	 func-
       tion  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	uncon-
       ditional	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.
