<br>
</span>LLVM IR does not contain variables, it contains (immutable) registers. Some of these registers refer to memory locations and are usable with loads and stores. The notion of ‘atomic’ doesn’t make sense in the context of a register, because registers are implicitly immutable (i.e. not updated, so atomic updates don’t make sense) and non-shared (so there’s nothing for accesses to them to be atomic with respect to). As such, the atomic qualifier makes sense only with memory locations. The memory address itself may be stored in a register, but updates to the location must be performed by loads and stores (or atomicrmw instructions).<br>
<br>
In the absence of any ordering constraints imposed by atomic memory operations (including fences), it is often safe to promote a sequence of loads and stores of a memory location to a single load / store pair with a sequence of registers storing temporary values. This is allowed because, in the absence of something that establishes a happens-before relationship between threads, a thread is allowed to make writes to memory visible to other threads in any order.<br>
