Yeah that's probably ok. Volatile is enough to force the ordering? I still like just not caching mask. Is "volatile*" legal or just pseudo?
Some platforms cache neither. Are some platforms getpagesize slow and others fast? Or it's just "random evolution"? If it's just "random", and nobody knows getpagesize to be slow, I'd say just never cache either. - Jay > > [snip snip snip] > > Or even better store size after the store to mask. > That is: > int tmp = getpagesize(); > *(volatile*)&mask = ~((long)tmp - 1); > *(volatile*)&size = tmp; > > Thanks, > Andrew Pinski
