Don't + * conflate the two!) Given a sequence of operations in source code on + * memory, it is *not* always the case that, at all times and on all + * cores, those operations will appear to have occurred in that exact + * sequence. First, the compiler might reorder that sequence, if it + * thinks another ordering will be more efficient. Second, the CPU may + * not expose so consistent a view of memory. CPUs will often perform + * their own instruction reordering, above and beyond that performed by + * the compiler. And each core has its own memory caches, and accesses + * (reads and writes both) to "memory" may only resolve to out-of-date + * cache entries -- not to the "most recently" performed operation in + * some global sense.

Writes ostensibly performed "before" on the + * writing thread may not yet be visible. Writes performed "after" on + * the writing thread may already be visible, if the compiler or CPU + * reordered them. (The latter can happen if reads and/or writes get + * held up in per-processor caches.) Relaxed ordering means + * operations can always use cached values (as long as the actual + * updates to atomic values actually occur, correctly, eventually), so + * it's usually the fastest sort of atomic access. For this reason, + * *it's also the most dangerous kind of access*. + * + * Relaxed ordering is good for things like process-wide statistics + * counters that don't need to be consistent with anything else, so + * long as updates themselves are atomic. (And so long as any + * observations of that value can tolerate being out-of-date -- if you + * need some sort of up-to-date value, you need some sort of other + * synchronizing operation.) It's *not* good for locks, mutexes, + * reference counts, etc. that mediate access to other memory, or must + * be observably consistent with other memory. + * + * x86 architectures don't take advantage of the optimization + * opportunities that relaxed ordering permits. Thus it's possible + * that using relaxed ordering will "work" on x86 but fail elsewhere + * (ARM, say, which *does* implement non-sequentially-consistent + * relaxed ordering semantics). Be extra-careful using relaxed + * ordering if you can't easily test non-x86 architectures! + */ + Relaxed, + + /* + * When an atomic value is updated with ReleaseAcquire ordering, and + * that new value is observed with ReleaseAcquire ordering, prior + * writes (atomic or not) are also observable. What ReleaseAcquire + * *doesn't* give you is any observable ordering guarantees for + * ReleaseAcquire-ordered operations on different objects. For + * example, if there are two cores that each perform ReleaseAcquire + * operations on separate objects, each core may or may not observe + * the operations made by the other core. The only way the cores can + * be synchronized with ReleaseAcquire is if they both + * ReleaseAcquire-access the same object. This implies that you can't + * necessarily describe some global total ordering of ReleaseAcquire + * operations. + * + * ReleaseAcquire ordering is good for (as the name implies) atomic + * operations on values controlling ownership of things: reference + * counts, mutexes, and the like. However, if you are thinking about + * using these to implement your own locks or mutexes, you should take + * a good, hard look at actual lock or mutex primitives first. + */ + ReleaseAcquire, + + /* + * When an atomic value is updated with SequentiallyConsistent + * ordering, all writes observable when the update is observed, just + * as with ReleaseAcquire ordering. But, furthermore, a global total + * ordering of SequentiallyConsistent operations *can* be described. + * For example, if two cores perform SequentiallyConsistent operations + * on separate objects, one core will observably perform its update + * (and all previous operations will have completed), then the other + * core will observably perform its update (and all previous + * operations will have completed). (Although those previous + * operations aren't themselves ordered -- they could be intermixed, + * or ordered if they occur on atomic values with ordering + * requirements.) SequentiallyConsistent is the *simplest and safest* + * ordering of atomic operations -- it's always as if one operation + * happens, then another, then another, in some order -- and every + * core observes updates to happen in that single order. Because it + * has the most synchronization requirements, operations ordered this + * way also tend to be slowest. + * + * SequentiallyConsistent ordering can be desirable when multiple + * threads observe objects, and they all have to agree on the + * observable order of changes to them.
