_ReadBarrier, _WriteBarrier, and _ReadWriteBarrier are essentially memory barriers of one form or another. Model these as atomic_signal_fence(ATOMIC_SEQ_CST). __faststorefence is a curious intrinsic. It's single purpose seems to an alternative to mfence when that instruction is slow. However, mfence is not always slow and is, in general, preferable to a 'lock or' sequence on certain CPUs. Give the compiler freedom to select the best sequence to get a fence. llvm-svn: 242378 |

//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===// // C Language Family Front-end //===----------------------------------------------------------------------===// Welcome to Clang. This is a compiler front-end for the C family of languages (C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++) which is built as part of the LLVM compiler infrastructure project. Unlike many other compiler frontends, Clang is useful for a number of things beyond just compiling code: we intend for Clang to be host to a number of different source-level tools. One example of this is the Clang Static Analyzer. If you're interested in more (including how to build Clang) it is best to read the relevant web sites. Here are some pointers: Information on Clang: http://clang.llvm.org/ Building and using Clang: http://clang.llvm.org/get_started.html Clang Static Analyzer: http://clang-analyzer.llvm.org/ Information on the LLVM project: http://llvm.org/ If you have questions or comments about Clang, a great place to discuss them is on the Clang development mailing list: http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/cfe-dev If you find a bug in Clang, please file it in the LLVM bug tracker: http://llvm.org/bugs/
