Compiler ordering barriers in C++0x

by Dmitriy Vyukov <dvyukov@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Apr 24, 2008 at 01:04 AM

Will it be possible to issue only compiler ordering barrier (release,
acquire or full), but not hardware ordering barrier in C++0x?

Accesses to volatile variables are ordered only with respect to
accesses to other volatile variables. What I want it to order access
to variable with respect to accesses to all other volatile and non-
volatile variables (w/o any hardware barriers, only compiler
ordering).

Now it can be accomplished with "__asm__ __volatile__
("" : : :"memory")" on gcc, and with _ReadWriteBarrier() on msvc. I am
interested whether it will be possible to do this in C++0x language w/
o compiler dependency.

Such compiler barriers are useful in effective synchronization
algorithms like SMR+RCU:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=127837
(fastsmr package)
because they allows one to eliminate all hardware memory barriers from
fast-path.
