-Data logging functions
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-The memory locations accessed with transactional loads and stores and the
-memory locations whose values are logged must not overlap. This required
-separation only extends to the scope of the execution of one transaction
-including all the executions of all nested transactions.
-
-The compiler must be consistent (within the scope of a single transaction)
-about which memory locations are shared and which are not shared with other
-threads (i.e., data must be accessed either transactionally or
-nontransactionally). Otherwise, non-write-through TM algorithms would not work.
-
-For memory locations on the stack, this requirement extends to only the
-lifetime of the stack frame that the memory location belongs to (or the
-lifetime of the transaction, whichever is shorter). Thus, memory that is
-reused for several stack frames could be target of both data logging and
-transactional accesses; however, this is harmless because these stack frames'
-lifetimes will end before the transaction finishes.
