Only since C++11, and it's not a full blown memory model.

C++ has with a close, approximation, the same memory model as C, both concurrent and otherwise. In fact C11 just adopted the C++11 concurrent memory model wholesale.

it's defined enough for C to have adopted it since C11 (https://people.mpi-sws.org/~viktor/papers/cpp2015-invited.pd...)
