Expand description
Provides the wrapper type Volatile
, which wraps a reference to any copy-able type and allows
for volatile memory access to wrapped value. Volatile memory accesses are never optimized away
by the compiler, and are useful in many low-level systems programming and concurrent contexts.
The wrapper types do not enforce any atomicity guarantees; to also get atomicity, consider
looking at the Atomic
wrapper types found in libcore
or libstd
.
Modules
- Allows creating read-only and write-only
Volatile
values.
Structs
- Wraps a reference to make accesses to the referenced value volatile.
