New upstream version 1.52.0~beta.3+dfsg1
[rustc.git] / library / core / src / intrinsics.rs
1 //! Compiler intrinsics.
2 //!
3 //! The corresponding definitions are in `compiler/rustc_codegen_llvm/src/intrinsic.rs`.
4 //! The corresponding const implementations are in `compiler/rustc_mir/src/interpret/intrinsics.rs`
5 //!
6 //! # Const intrinsics
7 //!
8 //! Note: any changes to the constness of intrinsics should be discussed with the language team.
9 //! This includes changes in the stability of the constness.
10 //!
11 //! In order to make an intrinsic usable at compile-time, one needs to copy the implementation
12 //! from <https://github.com/rust-lang/miri/blob/master/src/shims/intrinsics.rs> to
13 //! `compiler/rustc_mir/src/interpret/intrinsics.rs` and add a
14 //! `#[rustc_const_unstable(feature = "foo", issue = "01234")]` to the intrinsic.
15 //!
16 //! If an intrinsic is supposed to be used from a `const fn` with a `rustc_const_stable` attribute,
17 //! the intrinsic's attribute must be `rustc_const_stable`, too. Such a change should not be done
18 //! without T-lang consultation, because it bakes a feature into the language that cannot be
19 //! replicated in user code without compiler support.
20 //!
21 //! # Volatiles
22 //!
23 //! The volatile intrinsics provide operations intended to act on I/O
24 //! memory, which are guaranteed to not be reordered by the compiler
25 //! across other volatile intrinsics. See the LLVM documentation on
26 //! [[volatile]].
27 //!
28 //! [volatile]: http://llvm.org/docs/LangRef.html#volatile-memory-accesses
29 //!
30 //! # Atomics
31 //!
32 //! The atomic intrinsics provide common atomic operations on machine
33 //! words, with multiple possible memory orderings. They obey the same
34 //! semantics as C++11. See the LLVM documentation on [[atomics]].
35 //!
36 //! [atomics]: http://llvm.org/docs/Atomics.html
37 //!
38 //! A quick refresher on memory ordering:
39 //!
40 //! * Acquire - a barrier for acquiring a lock. Subsequent reads and writes
41 //! take place after the barrier.
42 //! * Release - a barrier for releasing a lock. Preceding reads and writes
43 //! take place before the barrier.
44 //! * Sequentially consistent - sequentially consistent operations are
45 //! guaranteed to happen in order. This is the standard mode for working
46 //! with atomic types and is equivalent to Java's `volatile`.
