In 15.5.1 (Alpha) - In regard to the following statement: "Yes, this does mean that Alpha can in effect fetch the data pointed to before it fetches the pointer itself, strange but true." I'd appreciate it if someone could clarify what this means. I don't understand this statement in light of the actual data-dependent reordering presented in this section, i.e. the pointer itself is fetched, points to the correct location in memory, but the data is stale.
