Syntax:
pragma Disable_Atomic_Synchronization [(Entity)];
Ada requires that accesses (reads or writes) of an atomic variable be regarded as synchronization points in the case of multiple tasks. Particularly in the case of multi-processors this may require special handling, e.g. the generation of memory barriers. This capability may be turned off using this pragma in cases where it is known not to be required.
The placement and scope rules for this pragma are the same as those
for pragma Suppress
. In particular it can be used as a
configuration pragma, or in a declaration sequence where it applies
till the end of the scope. If an Entity
argument is present,
the action applies only to that entity.
