With the default atomic operations that’s indeed true (which is why this is the default), but it does need spelling out: the atomic operations also have other options for the ordering requirements. In this article, based on chapter 5 of C++ Concurrency in Action, author Anthony Williams discusses the memory-ordering tags used for atomic operations and how they relate to the synchronizes-with relation. http://www.developerfusion.com/article/138018/memory-ordering-for-atomic-operations-in-c0x/ http://www.developerfusion.com/article/138018/memory-ordering-for-atomic-operations-in-c0x/ Fri, 10 Feb 2012 02:15:00 GMT Dan Maharry The new C++ standard has slowly been set and is now upon us.
