Attribute Macro pre_init

#[pre_init]

Attribute to mark which function will be called at the beginning of the reset handler.

IMPORTANT: This attribute can appear at most once in the dependency graph.

The function must have the signature of unsafe fn().

Safety

The function will be called before memory is initialized, as soon as possible after reset. Any access of memory, including any static variables, will result in undefined behavior.

Warning: Due to rvalue static promotion static variables may be accessed whenever taking a reference to a constant. This means that even trivial expressions such as &1 in the #[pre_init] function or any code called by it will cause immediate undefined behavior.

Users are advised to only use the #[pre_init] feature when absolutely necessary as these constraints make safe usage difficult.

Examples

#[pre_init]
unsafe fn before_main() {
    // do something here
}
