NAME
     ck_pr_fence_memory -- enforce partial ordering of all memory operations

LIBRARY
     Concurrency Kit (libck, -lck)

SYNOPSIS
     #include <ck_pr.h>

     void
     ck_pr_fence_memory();

     void
     ck_pr_fence_strict_memory();

DESCRIPTION
     The  ck_pr_fence_memory(3) function enforces the ordering of any memory op-
     erations with respect to the invocation of the function. This function  al-
     ways  serves  as  an  implicit compiler barrier.  Achitectures implementing
     CK_MD_TSO do not emit a barrier, but  compiler  barrier  semantics  remain.
     Architectures  implementing CK_MD_PSO and CK_MD_RMO always emit an instruc-
     tions which provides the specified ordering guarantees. To force the uncon-
     ditional emission of a memory fence, use ck_pr_fence_strict_memory().

EXAMPLE
	   #include <ck_pr.h>

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

	   void
	   function(void)
	   {
		   int snapshot_a;

		   ck_pr_store_int(&b, 1);
		   snapshot_a = ck_pr_load_int(&a);

		   /*
		    * Make sure previous memory operations are
		    * ordered with respect to memory operations
		    * following the ck_pr_fence_memory.
		    */
		   ck_pr_fence_memory();

		   ck_pr_store_int(&d, 3);
		   ck_pr_store_int(&c, 2);

		   return;
	   }

RETURN VALUES
     This function has no return value.
