What are you really trying to achieve?

The OpenMP standard has support for transactional memory already (via the use of synchronization hints https://www.openmp.org/spec-html/5.1/openmpsu180.html#x226-2590003.9.2 <https://www.openmp.org/spec-html/5.1/openmpsu180.html#x226-2590003.9.2> and https://www.openmp.org/spec-html/5.1/openmpsu110.html#x143-1550002.19.12 <https://www.openmp.org/spec-html/5.1/openmpsu110.html#x143-1550002.19.12> ), and the LLVM OpenMP runtime already supports them on machines (such as Intel processors) where the hardware has that capabiilty.
