as far as I can tell, microblaze is strongly ordered, but this does not seem to be well-documented and the assumption may need revisiting. even with strong ordering, however, a volatile C assignment is not sufficient to implement atomic store, since it does not preclude reordering by the compiler with respect to non-volatile stores and loads. simply flanking a C store with empty volatile asm blocks with memory clobbers would achieve the desired result, but is likely to result in worse code generation, since the address and value for the store may need to be spilled. actually writing the store in asm, so that there's only one asm block, should give optimal code generation while satisfying the requirement for having a compiler barrier.
musl libc
musl, pronounced like the word "mussel", is an MIT-licensed
implementation of the standard C library targetting the Linux syscall
API, suitable for use in a wide range of deployment environments. musl
offers efficient static and dynamic linking support, lightweight code
and low runtime overhead, strong fail-safe guarantees under correct
usage, and correctness in the sense of standards conformance and
safety. musl is built on the principle that these goals are best
achieved through simple code that is easy to understand and maintain.
The 1.1 release series for musl features coverage for all interfaces
defined in ISO C99 and POSIX 2008 base, along with a number of
non-standardized interfaces for compatibility with Linux, BSD, and
glibc functionality.
For basic installation instructions, see the included INSTALL file.
Information on full musl-targeted compiler toolchains, system
bootstrapping, and Linux distributions built on musl can be found on
the project website:
