NAME
     ck_pr_fence_atomic  -- enforce partial ordering of atomic read-modify-write
     operations

LIBRARY
     Concurrency Kit (libck, -lck)

SYNOPSIS
     #include <ck_pr.h>

     void
     ck_pr_fence_atomic(void);

     void
     ck_pr_fence_strict_atomic(void);

DESCRIPTION
     The ck_pr_fence_atomic() function enforces the ordering of any atomic read-
     modify-write operations relative to the invocation of  the  function.  This
     function always serve as an implicit compiler barrier. On architectures im-
     plementing  CK_MD_TSO, this operation only serves as a compiler barrier and
     no  fences  are  emitted.	On  architectures  implementing  CK_MD_PSO   and
     CK_MD_RMO, a store fence is emitted. To force the unconditional emission of
     a fence, use ck_pr_fence_strict_atomic().

EXAMPLE
	   #include <ck_pr.h>

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

	   void
	   function(void)
	   {

		   ck_pr_fas_int(&a, 1);

		   /*
		    * Guarantee that the update to a is completed
		    * with respect to the updates of b and c.
		    */
		   ck_pr_fence_atomic();
		   ck_pr_fas_int(&b, 2);
		   ck_pr_fas_int(&c, 2);

		   return;
	   }

RETURN VALUES
     This function has no return value.
