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
       operations with respect to the invocation of the	function.  This	 func-
       tion  always  serves as an implicit compiler barrier.  Achitectures im-
       plementing CK_MD_TSO do not emit	a barrier, but compiler	barrier	seman-
       tics remain.  Architectures implementing	CK_MD_PSO and CK_MD_RMO	always
       emit an instructions which provides the specified ordering  guarantees.
       To   force   the	  unconditional	  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.
