# sequentiallyConsistent

A sequentially consistent update performs an
acquiring-and-releasing update and also guarantees that it and
all other sequentially consistent atomic operations (loads, stores,
updates) appear to be executed in a single, total sequential
ordering.

```
static var sequentiallyConsistent: AtomicUpdateOrdering { get }
```

## Discussion

This value corresponds to `std::memory_order_seq_cst` in C++.
