NAME
       ck_pr_stall -- busy-wait	primitive

LIBRARY
       Concurrency Kit (libck, -lck)

SYNOPSIS
       #include	<ck_pr.h>

       void
       ck_pr_stall(void);

DESCRIPTION
       The  ck_pr_stall(3) function should be used inside retry	paths of busy-
       wait loops.  It not only	serves as a compiler barrier, but on some  ar-
       chitectures it emits cycle-saving instructions.

EXAMPLE
	     #include <ck_pr.h>

	     static int	ready =	0;

	     void
	     function(void)
	     {

		     /*	Busy-wait until	ready is non-zero. */
		     while (ck_pr_load_int(&ready) == 0)
			     ck_pr_stall();

		     return;
	     }
