You still need a compiler fence here.

Maybe not, if this is the same thread as readers. I don't know what it's for.

OrderAccess::release() is more than a compiler barrier on AArch64. I am guessing this was copied from x86 or one of the others where that same function is a compiler barrier? Should I move compiler_barrier from the random source files its in, into globalDefinitions, and use that?
