}

        Threads a and b producers , Threads c and d Is the consumer . All producers (a and b) Memory sorting occurs ; All consumers (c and d) At the time of consumption , The code is executed in the memory sequence arranged for production . therefore , here c and d Observe a and b when , Or first x Turn into true, then y Turn into true; Or first y Turn into true, Again x Turn into true. In either case at least 1.
