[LLVMdev] Proposal for a new LLVM concurrency memory model

[Jeffrey Yasskin]

Hi all,

Chandler, Owen, and I have written up a proposal for a new memory
model and atomic intrinsics in LLVM, which will make it possible to
support Java and the upcoming C++0x standard. The proposed changes to
the LangRef are at
<http://docs.google.com/View?docID=ddb4mhxz_22dz5g98dd&revision=_latest>,
and a rationale for some of the more surprising changes is at
<http://docs.google.com/View?docID=ddb4mhxz_24gh4ksvgh&revision=_latest>.
You're the first group to see this, so it's likely to need some
significant fixes based on your feedback. Let us know what you think.

Thanks,
Jeffrey, Chandler, and Owen
