Dependences between Intra-Thread Evaluations Consider two expression evaluations A and B made by one thread. When we say that A carries a dependency to B it means A must be evaluated before B: v = u + 1; // A w = v * 2; // B The order of A and B should not be changed! Both compilers and hardware must preserve this order — and they do. A is sequenced before B since there is a sequence point between A and B. Jonas Skeppstedt (js@cs.lth.se) Lecture 6 2013 32 / 70
Definition of Dependency in C11 A carries a dependency to B if the value of A is used as an operand of B (except the left operand of ?: , && or ||), or A writes a scalar object (pointer or arithmetic variable) or a bitfield in memory location M and B reads from M the value written by A, and A is sequenced before B For some evaluation X , A carries a dependence to X and X carries a dependency to B. Carries a dependency is intra-thread. Jonas Skeppstedt (js@cs.lth.se) Lecture 6 2013 33 / 70
