aren't clear. Alexander likes to cite the IA64 specs where it is stated that ld.acq and st.rel produce the equivalent of the x86 memory model.
Well, IA64 specs say that x86 stuff on Itanic is nothing but TSO. But the web is full of references to processor consistency/ordering (TSO sans remote write atomicity) regarding x86 native, not TSO. Intel representatives won't say anything officially (except referencing pretty meaningless IA32 spec) at all. So go figure. regards, alexander.
