Module std::intrinsics

Unstable (core_intrinsics)

: intrinsics are unlikely to ever be stabilized, instead they should be used through stabilized interfaces in the rest of the standard library

rustc compiler intrinsics.

The corresponding definitions are in librustc_trans/trans/intrinsic.rs.

Volatiles

The volatile intrinsics provide operations intended to act on I/O memory, which are guaranteed to not be reordered by the compiler across other volatile intrinsics. See the LLVM documentation on [volatile].

Atomics

The atomic intrinsics provide common atomic operations on machine words, with multiple possible memory orderings. They obey the same semantics as C++11. See the LLVM documentation on [atomics].

A quick refresher on memory ordering:

• Acquire - a barrier for acquiring a lock. Subsequent reads and writes take place after the barrier.
• Release - a barrier for releasing a lock. Preceding reads and writes take place before the barrier.
• Sequentially consistent - sequentially consistent operations are guaranteed to happen in order. This is the standard mode for working with atomic types and is equivalent to Java's volatile.

Functions

transmute	Unsafely transforms a value of one type into a value of another type.
write_bytes	Invokes memset on the specified pointer, setting count * size_of::<T>() bytes of memory starting at dst to val.
