CALL NUMBER: ?.hb_synchronizes_with : deep_happens_before_relat(5)
DEFINITION: A synchronization operation or primitive that establishes an inter-thread happens-before relationship, ensuring that all memory effects preceding the synchronization point in one thread become visible to all operations following the corresponding synchronization point in another thread; the fundamental mechanism by which threads coordinate access to shared state, encompassing operations such as th
Invoke this skill to understand hb_synchronizes_with down to its primitives. The RELATIVE ROOT below is the least-fixed-point closure of everything it bundles from — the full import cone, grouped by the lib each prim comes from. Projected from a prover-typed KB (MAP/SWI-Prolog consistency gate): every reference below resolves.
THE RELATIVE ROOT (the import cone, by lib)
from deep_happens_before_relat
- hb_acquire_semantics (d1): A memory ordering guarantee where all subsequent memory operations become visible only after the acquire operation; paired with release to establish synchronization.
- hb_release_semantics (d1): A memory ordering guarantee where all prior memory operations become visible before the release operation; paired with acquire to establish synchronization.
- hb_transitive_closure (d1): The transitive property of happens-before: if A happens-before B and B happens-before C, then A happens-before C.
- hb_lock_acquire (d2): Acquiring a synchronization lock, which carries acquire semantics for all operations following the acquisition.
- hb_lock_release (d2): Releasing a synchronization lock, which carries release semantics for all operations preceding the release.

Projected from the concurrency synchronization primitives and memory models KB (407 concepts / 477 relations) — consistency-typed by MAP; the facet list after the colon IS the cross-lib dependency web.
