<p>
NOTE: With fine-grained system SVM, sharing
happens at the granularity of individual loads
and stores anywhere in host memory. Memory
consistency is always guaranteed at
synchronization points, but to obtain finer
control over consistency, the OpenCL atomics
functions may be used to ensure that the updates
to individual data values made by one unit of
execution are visible to other execution units.
In particular, when a host thread needs fine
control over the consistency of memory that is
shared with one or more OpenCL devices, it must
use atomic and fence operations that are
compatible with the C11 atomic operations.
</p>
<p>
We can't require C11 atomics since host programs can
be implemented in other programming languages and
versions of C or C++, but we do require that the host
programs use atomics and that those atomics be compatible
with those in C11.
</p>
<h4><a id="id-1.6.7"></a>Restrictions</h4>
<p>
All operations on atomic types must be performed using the built-in atomic
functions. C11 and C++11 support operators on atomic types. OpenCL C does not
support operators with atomic types. Using atomic types with operators should result in a
compilation error.
</p>
<p>
The <span class="type">atomic_bool</span>, <span class="type">atomic_char</span>,
<span class="type">atomic_uchar</span>, <span class="type">atomic_short</span>,
<span class="type">atomic_ushort</span>, <span class="type">atomic_intmax_t</span>
and <span class="type">atomic_uintmax_t</span> types are not
supported by OpenCL C.
</p>
<p>
OpenCL C requires that the built-in atomic functions on
atomic types are lock-free.
</p>
<p>
The <code class="code">_Atomic</code> type specifier and <code class="code">_Atomic</code>
type qualifier are not supported by OpenCL C.
</p>
<p>
The behavior of atomic operations where pointer
arguments to the atomic functions refers
to an atomic type in the private address space is undefined.
