NAME
       ck_pr_fence_atomic_load -- enforce ordering of atomic read-modify-write
       operations to load operations

LIBRARY
       Concurrency Kit (libck, -lck)

SYNOPSIS
       #include	<ck_pr.h>

       void
       ck_pr_fence_atomic_load(void);

       void
       ck_pr_fence_strict_atomic_load(void);

DESCRIPTION
       The  ck_pr_fence_atomic_load()  function	 enforces  the ordering	of any
       atomic read-modify-write	operations relative  to	 any  load  operations
       following the function invocation. This function	always serve as	an im-
       plicit  compiler	barrier. On architectures implementing CK_MD_TSO, this
       operation only serves as	a compiler barrier and no fences are  emitted.
       To    force    the    unconditional    emission	 of   a	  fence,   use
       ck_pr_fence_strict_atomic_load().

EXAMPLE
	     #include <ck_pr.h>

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

	     void
	     function(void)
	     {
		     int c;

		     ck_pr_fas_int(&a, 1);

		     /*
		      *	Guarantee that the update to a is completed
		      *	with respect to	the load of *b.
		      */
		     ck_pr_fence_atomic_load();
		     c = ck_pr_load_int(&b);

		     return;
	     }

RETURN VALUES
       This function has no return value.
