Abstract
Various systems and methods for translating atomic read-modify-write accesses are described herein. In one example, a method includes determining that a machine instruction of a first language specifies an atomic read-modify-write access. The method includes generating machine instructions of the second language to perform an atomic access for the address if the address is aligned. The method includes generating machine instructions of a second language to acquire a global lock if the address is unaligned. Additionally, the method includes generating machine instructions of the second language to perform a non-atomic access for the address if the address is unaligned. Also, the method includes generating machine instructions of the second language to release the global lock if the address is unaligned.
