The Foundation & Challenges
Explore the foundation and challenges of the C++ memory model, focusing on atomic operations, synchronization constraints, and multithreading complexities. Understand how memory models impact program execution and prepare for advanced topics like acquire-release semantics and relaxed memory orders.

The Foundation
The C++ memory model has to deal with the following points:
- Atomic operations: operations that can be performed without interruption.
- Partial ordering of operations: sequences of operations that must not be reordered.
- Visible effects of operations: guarantees when operations on shared variables are visible to other threads.
The foundation of the contract are operations on ...
