(it has to be a store with "release" semantics) Otherwise, the compiler (and/or CPU) is free to decide to reorder the store to 'jclassesInitialized = 1' up earlier within the critical section. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
