Handle LLVM Parallelism Instructions #10

@iconmaster5326

Description

@iconmaster5326

LLVM has 3 instructions made for use in a parallel environment: fence, cmpxchg, and atomicrmw. There are multiple ways to handle these:

  • No support. Emit a warning when it is encountered, and treat it like a no-op. This is what we currently do.
  • Support, but assume single thread. For example, cmpxchg would do the compare-and-exchange, but the exchange would always be successful in the model generated,
  • Support parallel programs in general. This is very hard, and I don't even know where to begin.
