The existing example given specifically states that it focus on x86 (TSO memory model), but gives a read-read vs write-write ordering example, even though this scenario does not require explicit barriers on TSO. So either we change the example architecture to a weakly-ordered architecture, or we change the example to a scenario requiring barriers on x86. Let's stay on x86, but provide a Dekker as example instead. Signed-off-by: Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com> CC: Michael Kerrisk <mtk.manpages@gmail.com> CC: Paul E.

README
This package contains Linux man pages for sections 1 through 8. Some more information is given in the 'man-pages-x.y.Announce' file. Installing and uninstalling =========================== "make install" will copy these man pages to /usr/share/man/man[1-8]. To install to a path different from /usr, use "make install prefix=/install/path". "make remove" or "make uninstall" will remove any man page in this distribution from its destination. Use with caution, and remember to use "prefix" if desired, as with the "install" target. "make" or "make all" will perform "make uninstall" followed by "make install". Man page overlap and duplication ================================ Note that sometimes these pages are duplicates of pages also distributed in other packages. This has been reported about: man page also found in ------------------------------------- resolver.3 bind-utils, bind9utils resolv.conf.5 " passwd.5 shadow, passwd mailaddr.7 ? Copyrights ========== See the 'man-pages-x.y.Announce' file. Homepage ======== For much more about the Linux man-pages project, see http://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/index.html.
