[PATCH tools/memory-model 3/4] tools/memory-order: Add documentation of new litmus test

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The litmus-tests/README file lacks any mention of the new litmus test
ISA2+pooncelock+pooncelock+pombonce.litmus.  This commit therefore
adds a description of this test.
