// Our goal is to measure the cost of various C++ atomic operations.
// Android doesn't really control those. But since some of these operations can be quite
// expensive, this may be useful input for development of higher level code.
// Expected mappings from C++ atomics to hardware primitives can be found at
// http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~pes20/cpp/cpp0xmappings.html .
#include <atomic>
#include <mutex>
#include <benchmark/benchmark.h>
#include "util.h"
// We time atomic operations separated by a volatile (not atomic!) increment. This ensures
// that the compiler emits memory instructions (e.g. load or store) prior to any fence or the
// like. That in turn ensures that the CPU has outstanding memory operations when the fence
// is executed.
// In most respects, we compute best case values. Since there is only one thread, there are no
// coherence misses.
// We assume that the compiler is not smart enough to optimize away fences in a single-threaded
// program. If that changes, we'll need to add a second thread.
