Quite interestingly, I have noticed that discussions about memory barriers are often somehow endless. What happened in the past is that I saw countless discussions about whether they are needed, whether they are not, and people would argue a lot and passionately. So I thought, maybe there's a hidden topic behind that. A "memory barrier"... Well, that very much reminds me of this memory loss which happens to all of us in the childhood. It turns early years into fuzzy memories. That is a barrier, too. Whether such psychological barriers are needed or not, that's an interesting question :) -- Olivier _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
