CppMem<\/a> is an interactive tool for exploring the behavior of small code snippets of the C++ memory model. No, it should have to be in the toolbox of each programmer who deals seriously with the memory model.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The online tool CppMem provides in a twofold way very valuable services.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. CppMem verifies the well-defined behavior of small code snippets. The tool performs on the basis of the C++ memory model all possible interleavings of threads, visuals each one in a graph, and annotates these graphs with additional details<\/li>\n
  2. The very accurate analysis of CppMem gives you a deep insight into the C++ memory model. To make it short. CppMem is the tool for a better understanding of the C++ memory model.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Of course, it’s like the things you have first to overcome a few hurdles. The nature of the things is that CppMem gives you the whole details of the extremely challenging topic and is highly configurable. So, I plan to present the tool’s components, which you can also install on your PC.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

    The overview<\/h2>\n

    My simplified overview uses the default configuration. This overview should give you the base for further experiments.<\/p>\n

    For simplicity reasons, I will follow the red numbers in the screenshot. <\/p>\n
