David Majnemer 6b8e297089 [Intrin.h] Use compiler builtins to model memory barriers
_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.

//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===//
// 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:

If you have questions or comments about Clang, a great place to discuss them is
on the Clang development mailing list:
