- provides an interface to the hardware, not an interface to the programmer. It
- is aimed at a low enough level to allow any programming models or APIs which
- need atomic behaviors to map cleanly onto it. It is also modeled primarily on
- hardware behavior. Just as hardware provides a "universal IR" for source
- languages, it also provides a starting point for developing a "universal"
- atomic operation and synchronization IR.

- software transaction memory systems, atomic primitives, and intrinsic
- functions as found in BSD, GNU libc, atomic_ops, APR, and other system and

-<h5>Overview:</h5>
-<p>
- This intrinsic adds <tt>delta</tt> to the value stored in memory at

-<h5>Arguments:</h5>
-<p>
- The intrinsic takes two arguments, the first a pointer to an integer value

- width. The targets may only lower integer representations they support.

-</pre>
-<h5>Overview:</h5>
-<p>
- The <tt>llvm.memory.barrier</tt> intrinsic guarantees ordering between
- specific pairs of memory access types.
-</p>
-<h5>Arguments:</h5>
-<p>
- The <tt>llvm.memory.barrier</tt> intrinsic requires four boolean arguments.
- Each argument enables a specific barrier as listed below.
-</p>
- <ul>
- <li><tt>ll</tt>: load-load barrier</li>
- <li><tt>ls</tt>: load-store barrier</li>
- <li><tt>sl</tt>: store-load barrier</li>
- <li><tt>ss</tt>: store-store barrier</li>
- </ul>
-<h5>Semantics:</h5>
-<p>
- This intrinsic causes the system to enforce some ordering constraints upon
- the loads and stores of the program. This barrier does not indicate
- <em>when</em> any events will occur, it only enforces an <em>order</em> in
- which they occur. For any of the specified pairs of load and store operations
- (f.ex. load-load, or store-load), all of the first operations preceding the
- barrier will complete before any of the second operations succeeding the
- barrier begin. Specifically the semantics for each pairing is as follows:
-</p>
- <ul>
- <li><tt>ll</tt>: All loads before the barrier must complete before any load
- after the barrier begins.</li>
- <li><tt>ls</tt>: All loads before the barrier must complete before any
- store after the barrier begins.</li>
- <li><tt>ss</tt>: All stores before the barrier must complete before any
- store after the barrier begins.</li>
- <li><tt>sl</tt>: All stores before the barrier must complete before any
- load after the barrier begins.</li>
- </ul>
-<p>
- These semantics are applied with a logical "and" behavior when more than one
- is enabled in a single memory barrier intrinsic.
-</p>
-<h5>Example:</h5>
-<pre>
-%ptr = malloc i32
- store i32 4, %ptr
-
-%result1 = load i32* %ptr <i>; yields {i32}:result1 = 4</i>
- call void @llvm.memory.barrier( i1 false, i1 true, i1 false, i1 false )
- <i>; guarantee the above finishes</i>
- store i32 8, %ptr <i>; before this begins</i>
