NAME

     ck_pr_fence_store_atomic — enforce ordering of store operations to load operations

LIBRARY

SYNOPSIS

     #include <ck_pr.h>

     void
     ck_pr_fence_store_atomic(void);

     void
     ck_pr_fence_strict_store_atomic(void);

DESCRIPTION

     The ck_pr_fence_store_atomic() function enforces the ordering of any memory store,
     ck_pr_store() and atomic read-modify-write operations to atomic read-modify-write operations
     relative to the invocation of the function. This function always serve as an implicit
     compiler barrier.  This functions will emit a fence for PSO and RMO targets. In order to
     force the emission of a fence use the ck_pr_fence_strict_store_atomic() function.

EXAMPLE

           #include <ck_pr.h>

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

           void
           function(void)
           {

                   ck_pr_store_int(&a, 1);

                   /*
                    * Guarantee that the store to a is completed
                    * with respect to the update of b.
                    */
                   ck_pr_fence_store_atomic();
                   ck_pr_add_int(&b, 2);
                   return;
           }

RETURN VALUES

     This function has no return value.
