...feel much of the complexity in the memory order specifications, also with your recent (much better) wording to explain dependency chains, would be much easier if the 'carries-dependency' would be encoded into the types of operands. For purpose of example, let's call the marker "blaeh" (not atomic to not confuse with existing use :) ): int foo; blaeh int global; int *somep; blae int *blaehp; f () { blaehp = &foo; // might be okay, adds restrictions on accesses through // blaehp, but not through 'foo' directly blaehp = &global; if...
