.Sh NAME
.Nm ck_pr_fence_store
.Nd enforce partial ordering of store operations
.Sh LIBRARY
Concurrency Kit (libck, \-lck)
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.In ck_pr.h
.Ft void
.Fn ck_pr_fence_store void
.Ft void
.Fn ck_pr_fence_strict_store void
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The 
.Fn ck_pr_fence_store
function will enfore the ordering of any memory store,
.Fn ck_pr_store
and atomic read-modify-write operations relative to
the invocation of the function. This function will
always serve as an implicit compiler barrier. On
architectures implementing CK_MD_TSO, this operation
will only serve as a compiler barrier and no fences
will be emitted. On architectures implementing
CK_MD_PSO and CK_MD_RMO, a store fence will be
emitted. To force the unconditional emission of
a store fence, use
.Fn ck_pr_fence_strict_store .
.Sh EXAMPLE
.Bd -literal -offset indent

#include <ck_pr.h>

static int a = 0;
static int b = 0;
static int c = 0;

void
function(void)
{

	ck_pr_store_int(&a, 1);

	/*
	 * Guarantee that the store to a is completed
	 * with respect to the stores of b and c.
	 */
	ck_pr_fence_store();
	ck_pr_store_int(&b, 2);
	ck_pr_store_int(&c, 2);

	return;
