In case of an abort, either internal (through a ck_pr_rtm_abort) +or external, program flow will return to the point which the function +was called except the return value will consist of a bitmap with one or +more of the following bits set: +.Bl -tag -width indent +.It CK_PR_RTM_EXPLICIT +Set if the transactionally was explicitly aborted through +.Fn ck_pr_rtm_abort . +.It CK_PR_RTM_RETRY +Set if the transaction failed but can still succeed if +retried. +.It CK_PR_RTM_CONFLICT +The transaction failed due to a conflict in one of the memory +addresses that are part of the working set of the transaction. +.It CK_PR_RTM_CAPACITY +Set if the architecture-defined transaction size limit was exceeded. +.It CK_PR_RTM_DEBUG +Set if a hardware breakpoint was triggered. +.It CK_PR_RTM_NESTED +Set if a nested transaction failed. +.El +.Pp +The user is also able to specify a one byte abort status +by calling +.Fn ck_pr_rtm_abort . +This status byte can be extracted by calling the +.Fn CK_PR_RTM_CODE +function with the return value of +.Fn ck_pr_rtm_begin +as an argument. The return value of +.Fn CK_PR_RTM_CODE +will be the value of this status byte. +For additional information, please see the Intel instruction +set manuals. +.Sh SEE ALSO +.Xr ck_pr_fence_load 3 , +.Xr ck_pr_fence_load_depends 3 , +.Xr ck_pr_fence_store 3 , +.Xr ck_pr_fence_memory 3 , +.Xr ck_pr_load 3 , +.Xr ck_pr_store 3 , +.Xr ck_pr_fas 3 , +.Xr ck_pr_faa 3 , +.Xr ck_pr_inc 3 , +.Xr ck_pr_dec 3 , +.Xr ck_pr_neg 3 , +.Xr ck_pr_not 3 , +.Xr ck_pr_sub 3 , +.Xr ck_pr_and 3 , +.Xr ck_pr_or 3 , +.Xr ck_pr_xor 3 , +.Xr ck_pr_add 3 , +.Xr ck_pr_btc 3 , +.Xr ck_pr_bts 3 , +.Xr ck_pr_btr 3 +.Pp +Additional information available at http://concurrencykit.org/ -- cgit v1.2.3
