Hello, Will,

It is possible to do litmus tests based on real dependencies in both
herd and in PPCMEM/ARMMEM, as in creating linked lists within the tools
and traversing them.  Trivial linked lists, to be sure, but linked lists
nevertheless, including real dependencies.  For an example, please see
the "Linked data structures" section of http://lwn.net/Articles/608550/.

Taking this approach could avoid use of EOR.  (That said, the tool
that automatically generates litmus tests might or might not be
happy to create linked lists.)

							Thanx, Paul
