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 func-
       tion. This function always serve	as an implicit	compiler  barrier.  On
       architectures  implementing  CK_MD_TSO, this operation only serves as a
       compiler	barrier	and no fences are emitted. On architectures implement-
       ing CK_MD_PSO and CK_MD_RMO, a store fence is emitted. To force the un-
       conditional 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.
