 #### BOX64_DYNAREC_STRONGMEM *

 Enable/Disable simulation of Strong Memory model

 * 0 : Don't try anything special (Default.)

-* 1 : Enable some Memory Barrier when writting to memory (on some MOV opcode) to simulate Strong Memory Model while trying to limit performance impact (Default when libmonobdwgc-2.0.so is loaded)

-* 2 : All 1. plus a memory barrier on every write to memory using MOV

-* 3 : All 2. plus Memory Barrier when reading from memory and on some SSE/SSE2 opcodes too

+* 1 : Enable some memory barriers when writting to memory to simulate the Strong Memory Model in a limited way (Default when libmonobdwgc-2.0.so is loaded)

+* 2 : All 1. plus memory barriers on SIMD instructions

+* 3 : All 2. plus more memory barriers on a regular basis

+#### BOX64_DYNAREC_WEAKBARRIER *

+Use weak memory barriers to reduce the performance impact by STRONGMEM

+* 0 : Use regular safe barrier (Default.)

+* 1 : Use weak barriers to have more performance boost

 

 #### BOX64_DYNAREC_X87DOUBLE *

 Force the use of Double for x87 emulation
