1 //! Compiler intrinsics.
3 //! The corresponding definitions are in `librustc_codegen_llvm/intrinsic.rs`.
7 //! The volatile intrinsics provide operations intended to act on I/O
8 //! memory, which are guaranteed to not be reordered by the compiler
9 //! across other volatile intrinsics. See the LLVM documentation on
12 //! [volatile]: http://llvm.org/docs/LangRef.html#volatile-memory-accesses
16 //! The atomic intrinsics provide common atomic operations on machine
17 //! words, with multiple possible memory orderings. They obey the same
18 //! semantics as C++11. See the LLVM documentation on [[atomics]].
20 //! [atomics]: http://llvm.org/docs/Atomics.html
22 //! A quick refresher on memory ordering:
24 //! * Acquire - a barrier for acquiring a lock. Subsequent reads and writes
25 //! take place after the barrier.
26 //! * Release - a barrier for releasing a lock. Preceding reads and writes
27 //! take place before the barrier.
28 //! * Sequentially consistent - sequentially consistent operations are
29 //! guaranteed to happen in order. This is the standard mode for working
30 //! with atomic types and is equivalent to Java's `volatile`.
