In Intel's software developer manual for developing multi-threaded
applications:

plications.pdf
Section 4.5 recommends you use DCL and near the end has this note:
"DCL should be used with caution in Java because some Java Virtual
Machines
implement the Java Memory Model incorrectly." [ref Brian Goetz's Feb
2001 JavaWorld article]
Even though DCL probably works correctly, from a hardware perspective,
on most (older) IA-32 systems, this seems to be completely missing the
point.
