Is the Acquire-Release Semantic Transitive?

Understand the transitive property of acquire-release semantics in C++ concurrency. This lesson explains how threads synchronize through atomic operations, using sequenced-before and synchronizes-with relations to ensure deterministic multi-threaded execution. Learn how indirect synchronization between threads works without forcing expensive sequential consistency.

We'll cover the following...

The acquire-release semantic is transitive. That means if you have an acquire-release semantic between threads (a,b) and an acquire-release semantic between threads (b,c), you get an acquire-release semantic between (a,c).
