/*
* data_race(): macro to document that accesses in an expression may conflict with
* other concurrent accesses resulting in data races, but the resulting
* behaviour is deemed safe regardless.
/**
* data_race - mark an expression as containing intentional data races
*
* This macro *does not* affect normal code generation, but is a hint to tooling
* that data races here should be ignored.
* This data_race() macro is useful for situations in which data races
* should be forgiven. One example is diagnostic code that accesses
* shared variables but is not a part of the core synchronization design.
