Expand description

Compiler intrinsics.

The corresponding definitions are in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/master/compiler/rustc_codegen_llvm/src/intrinsic.rs. The corresponding const implementations are in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/master/compiler/rustc_const_eval/src/interpret/intrinsics.rs.

§Const intrinsics

Note: any changes to the constness of intrinsics should be discussed with the language team. This includes changes in the stability of the constness.

In order to make an intrinsic usable at compile-time, one needs to copy the implementation from https://github.com/rust-lang/miri/blob/master/src/shims/intrinsics to https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/master/compiler/rustc_const_eval/src/interpret/intrinsics.rs and add a #[rustc_const_unstable(feature = "const_such_and_such", issue = "01234")] to the intrinsic declaration.

If an intrinsic is supposed to be used from a const fn with a rustc_const_stable attribute, the intrinsic’s attribute must be rustc_const_stable, too. Such a change should not be done without T-lang consultation, because it bakes a feature into the language that cannot be replicated in user code without compiler support.

§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.

§Unwinding

Rust intrinsics may, in general, unwind. If an intrinsic can never unwind, add the #[rustc_nounwind] attribute so that the compiler can make use of this fact.

However, even for intrinsics that may unwind, rustc assumes that a Rust intrinsics will never initiate a foreign (non-Rust) unwind, and thus for panic=abort we can always assume that these intrinsics cannot unwind.
