So, herdtools7.7.48 is now available by "opam update; opam upgrade".
Maybe mentioning the required version of herdtools7 in README would help.
One glitch I'm aware of is one of the output of klitmus7 fails to
compile on kernels prior to 4.14, because of smp_mb__after_spinlock()
used in Z6.0+pooncelock+poonceLock+pombonce.litmus.
And there is a question I want to ask.
Z6.0+pooncelock+pooncelock+pombonce.litmus, which doesn't have
smp_mb__after_spinlock(), has a comment of:
(*
* Result: Never
*
* This example demonstrates that a pair of accesses made by different
* processes each while holding a given lock will not necessarily be
* seen as ordered by a third process not holding that lock.
*)
The result was changed from "Sometimes" to "Never" in response to
Alan's feedback the other day, but the following comment indicates
the result should be "Sometimes". And the current model gives the
result of "Sometimes".
As I have no idea of the pending patches, I'd like to know once
the pending patches are applied, would
Z6.0+pooncelock+pooncelock+pombonce.litmus and
Z6.0+pooncelock+poonceLock+pombonce.litmus become identical?
Thanks, Akira
