_ReadWriteBarrier

Microsoft Specific

Limits the compiler optimizations that can reorder memory accesses across the point of the call.

Caution

The _ReadBarrier, _WriteBarrier, and _ReadWriteBarrier compiler intrinsics and the MemoryBarrier macro are all deprecated and should not be used. For inter-thread communication, use mechanisms such as atomic_thread_fence and std::atomic<T>, which are defined in the C++ Standard Library. For hardware access, use the /volatile:iso compiler option together with the volatile keyword.

Syntax

void _ReadWriteBarrier(void);  

Requirements

Intrinsic	Architecture
_ReadWriteBarrier	x86, [!INCLUDEvcprx64]

Header file <intrin.h>

Remarks

The _ReadWriteBarrier intrinsic limits the compiler optimizations that can remove or reorder memory accesses across the point of the call.
