Hello,
I have just read this from Martin Thompson:
"Firstly, our compilers can generate programs that store variables in
registers for relatively long periods of time for performance reasons,
e.g. variables used repeatedly within a loop. If we need these
variables to be visible across cores then the updates must not be
register allocated. This is achieved in C by qualifying a variable as
"volatile". Beware that C/C++ volatile is inadequate for telling the
compiler to order other instructions. For this you need fences/barriers."
read more here:

So i think that a necessary and sufficient condition so that
the variable be visible accross cores is to qualify
a variable as "volatile".
So i don't think that Dmitry Vyukov is right to add the windows function
called FlushProcessWriteBuffers() when he wrote this:

I don't think this algorithm of Dmitry Vyukov needs
FlushProcessWriteBuffers(), because it already has declared the
necessary variable as "volatile".
Thank you,
