# ck\_pr\_fence\_store(3)

enforce partial ordering of store operations

## NAME

**ck\_pr\_fence\_store** – enforce partial ordering of store operations

## LIBRARY

Concurrency Kit (libck, -lck)

## SYNOPSIS

**#include \<ck\_pr.h\>**

*void*\

**ck\_pr\_fence\_store**(*void*);

*void*\

**ck\_pr\_fence\_strict\_store**(*void*);

## DESCRIPTION

The **ck\_pr\_fence\_store**() function enforces the ordering of any memory store, **ck\_pr\_store**() and atomic read-modify-write operations relative to the invocation of the function. This function always serve as an implicit compiler barrier. On architectures implementing CK\_MD\_TSO, this operation only serves as a compiler barrier and no fences are emitted. On architectures implementing CK\_MD\_PSO and CK\_MD\_RMO, a store fence is emitted. To force the unconditional emission of a store fence, use **ck\_pr\_fence\_strict\_store**().

## EXAMPLE

```
#include <ck_pr.h>
static int a = 0;
static int b = 0;
static int c = 0;
void
function(void)
{
	ck_pr_store_int(&a, 1);
	/*
	 * Guarantee that the store to a is completed
	 * with respect to the stores of b and c.
	 */
	ck_pr_fence_store();
	ck_pr_store_int(&b, 2);
	ck_pr_store_int(&c, 2);
	return;
}
```

## RETURN VALUES

This function has no return value.
