Thread synchronization of non-atomic invariants in .NET 4.5

Now that we’ve seen how a singular x86-x64 focus might affect how we can synchronize atomic invariants , let’s look at non-atomic invariants. While an atomic invariant really doesn’t need much in the way of guarding , non-atomic invariants often do. ...

Thread synchronization of atomic invariants in .NET 4.5 clarifications

In Thread synchronization of atomic invariants in .NET 4.5 I’m presenting my observations of what the compiler does in very narrow context of only on Intel x86 and Intel x64 with a particular version of .NET. You can install SDKs that give you access...
