Comment on C/C++: Using Bitfields Effectively by micahc

I would say that you should still lock the entire operation, from the caching to the writing back from the cache. If you don’t, what happens when you read, release the lock, and then get interrupted by a process that manages to acquire the lock, cache, release the lock, perform the same block processing you were going to do, but with an updated register, reaquire the lock again, and then write. When the first thread runs again it will the clobber the register.

The person who was the cause of this warning to be placed on this product should be dragged in public and made to reveal the reason why they thought this was a good idea!

Never before nor since has a movie been made so honestly. This is seriously how I feel most of the time. And the other times, I’m lazy.
