Or just don't. Lockless algorithms are hard enough with explicit and clear barrier operations. The idea that somehow empowering optimizers to further confuse things is a feature and not a bug is just completely bewildering to me. Leave the clever optimization to the sequential code and leave the lockless work explicit. Please.
