    docs: memory-barriers: Add note on compiler transformation and address deps · 1566bf4b
    Joel Fernandes (Google) authored
    The compiler has the ability to cause misordering by destroying
    address-dependency barriers if comparison operations are used. Add a
    note about this to memory-barriers.txt in the beginning of both the
    historical address-dependency sections and point to rcu-dereference.rst
    for more information.
