Bug ID: 23955
Summary: Document the memory model
Product: glibc
Version: unspecified
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: manual
Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
Reporter: fweimer at redhat dot com
CC: mtk.manpages at gmail dot com
Target Milestone: ---
Flags: security-
The manual currently lacks documentation of the C/C++ memory and how glibc
interfaces interact with it.
Particularly noteworthy are:
* The behavior of synchronization primitives, including those that may operate
across processes.
* The interaction of the memory model with system calls used for communication
(e.g., sockets) and synchronization (e.g., advisory locking).
* Commonly accepted and supported behavior of signal handlers which are not
specified by the language standards.
* The GCC extension that certain plain memory accesses act as if they had
relaxed memory order.
* The behavior of functions which imply some sort of fence, such as the
cacheflush function, the fork function, and the upcoming membarrier function.
