 | |
| 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.
 | |
