The current informal control dependency definition in explanation.txt is too broad and, as discussed, needs to be updated. Consider the following example: > if(READ_ONCE(x)) > return 42; > > WRITE_ONCE(y, 42); > > return 21; The read event determines whether the write event will be executed "at all" - as per the current definition - but the formal LKMM does not recognize this as a control dependency. Introduce a new definition which includes the requirement for the second memory access event to syntactically lie within the arm of a non-loop conditional.
