Look at the section entitled "Mult-threaded executions and
data races".
Thanks for the hint. I had a look at it. Alltogether, that
section considers how the compiler should react to an
incorrect concurrent program. By incorrect concurrent
program I mean again as above.
Not just that. The terms that it defines are used in other
places to specify the meaning of a valid C++ program.
I think that's the key. Szabolcs keeps harping about an
"incorrect concurrent program", but without something in the
language itself, we have no means of determining whether a
program is correct or not.
