Abstract:The C/C++ memory model provides an interface and execution model for programmers of concurrent (sharedvariable) code. It provides a range of mechanisms that abstract from underlying hardware memory modelsthat govern how multicore architectures handle concurrent accesses to main memory -as well as abstracting from compiler transformations. The C standard describes the memory model in terms of cross-thread relationships between events, and has been influenced by several research works that are similarly based. I… Show more
