| (* |
| * Result: Sometimes |
| * |
| * This litmus test shows that a release-acquire chain, while sufficient |
| * when there is but one non-reads-from (AKA non-rf) link, does not suffice |
| * if there is more than one. Of the three processes, only P1() reads from |
| * P0's write, which means that there are two non-rf links: P1() to P2() |
| * is a write-to-write link (AKA a "coherence" or just "co" link) and P2() |
| * to P0() is a read-to-write link (AKA a "from-reads" or just "fr" link). |
| * When there are two or more non-rf links, you typically will need one |
| * full barrier for each non-rf link. (Exceptions include some cases |
| * involving locking.) |
