Annotated Snippet
C LB+fencembonceonce+ctrlonceonce
(*
* Result: Never
*
* This litmus test demonstrates that lightweight ordering suffices for
* the load-buffering pattern, in other words, preventing all processes
* reading from the preceding process's write. In this example, the
* combination of a control dependency and a full memory barrier are enough
* to do the trick. (But the full memory barrier could be replaced with
* another control dependency and order would still be maintained.)

Annotation
- Atlas domain: Support Tooling And Documentation / tools.
- Implementation status: atlas-only.
Implementation Notes
- This generated page is the file-by-file coverage layer; curated subsystem chapters should link here when they synthesize a multi-file control flow.
- Core OS pages should be promoted from atlas-only to deep-reviewed when they explain data structures, invariants, locking, lifecycle, and C implementation snippets.
- Driver-family pages are intentionally pattern-oriented unless they are part of the selected PCIe/NVMe representative device path.
