Re: JavaMemoryModel: Test Case 18 variations

The unified proposal allows all three test cases.

You say all three are disallowed. Is that according to
your model, or you think it should be a requirement for
the Java Memory Model that they be disallowed?

In test case 18b, the first write to x by thread 1 is always
dead, so the behavior _must_ be the same as in test case 18
(i.e., allowed).

Non-standard type analysis would deduce that the type of x is {0,42}
in both 18a and 18c. So the behaviors of 18a and 18c must also be the
same as 18 (i.e., allowed).
