This patch improves the documentation of the built-ins for atomic operations.First, to be consistent with the C++11 standard and make it easier for users to relate the built-ins to the C++11 specification, the patch changes 'memory model' to 'memory order'. The memory model is the whole thing, whereas memory orders are specific classes ordering requirements that an atomic operations are parametrized by. Second, the patch clarifies that the descriptions of the memory orders are for illustrative purposes only, and adds illustrative descriptions that are less incorrect and incomplete than what we had before. There is no way we can precisely summarize the C++ memory model in the docs, and there isn't really a need either. OK for trunk? 2015-05-15 Torvald Riegel <trie...@redhat.com> * doc/extend.texi (__atomic Builtins): Use 'memory order' instead of 'memory model' to align with C++11; fix description of memory orders; fix a few typos.
OK. Please install. jeff
