Re: [PATCH] Fix ARM64/MSVC atomic memory ordering issues on Win11 by adding explicit DMB ​barriers

Okay,

With the new MSVC compiler flag Andres mentioned (/arch:armv9.4) I only
had to update the S_UNLOCK() macro, the compiler did the rest correctly
AFAICT.  So, a much smaller patch (v2) attached. FWIW I'm using Visual
Studio 2026 (18) to build, other platform information below [1].

The white space/formatting issues seem to have been due to my ineptitude
on Windows running pgindent, or maybe I can blame Perl.  I'll try to dig
if I get a minute to figure out what was the cause and if I need to
patch something.

Also attached is a file with some notes on how I build. The build farm
section isn't finished yet, but there is value in the rest for anyone
doing similar work.  If you're wondering how I learned PowerShell, I
didn't.  I used AI, forgive me.  Eventually I'll have a build animal to
add to the "farm" and update a wiki page somewhere when this solidifies
a bit more. :)

best.
