| |
| <p> |
| The compiler supplies all of the intrinsics as described below. This list of |
| intrinsics roughly parallels the requirements of the C and C++ atomics |
| proposals. The C and C++ library implementations simply drop through to these |
| intrinsics. Anything the platform does not support in hardware, the compiler |
| arranges for a (compiler-rt) library call to be made which will do the job with |
| a mutex, and in this case ignoring the memory ordering parameter (effectively |
| implementing <tt>memory_order_seq_cst</tt>). |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| Ultimate efficiency is preferred over run time error checking. Undefined |
| behavior is acceptable when the inputs do not conform as defined below. |

| <tt>memory_order_seq_cst</tt>. This is essentially the code that will be called |
