According to the news on the front page, the C++11 memory model has been added to gcc. But C++11 status page (http://gcc.gnu.org/projects/cxx0x.html) says that it hasn't. Is this an oversight?
Atomic support with memory model parameters have been added, but complete support is not quite there yet. A full optimization audit has not been performed, so it is possible to introduce data races which were not there before. Bitfields operations do not yet conform either.
That said, any one who encounters cases where those memory model non-compliances occur should open a bugzilla so we can make sure we have them covered in 4.8.
