I stumbled across the sentence
"...The ocaml collector does not use read or write barriers, so the
user program may use load and store instead of llvm.gcread and
llvm.gcwrite..."
Which I believe is wrong as the ocaml collector does indeed use a
write barrier (caml_modify). But maybe I misunderstood?
Thanks,
