Module lrs::intrinsics

Compiler intrinsics

Description

This module provides direct access to compiler built-in functions. They are all unsafe and have safe wrappers in other modules.

Name	Description
abort	Aborts the process.
breakpoint	Raises a `SIGTRAP`.
copy	Copies memory between two pointers.
copy_nonoverlapping	Copies memory between two non-overlapping pointers.
discriminant_value	Calculates the discriminant of an enum variant.
forget	Moves an object without running its destructor.
init	Creates a value with all bytes set to zero.
init_dropped	Creates a value that appears to have had its destructor run.
lrs_abort	Aborts the process.
min_align_of	Calculates the alignment of a type.
move_val_init	Stores a new value in an object without running the object's destructor.
needs_drop	Checks whether a type has a destructor.
offset	Creates a pointer by calculating an offset from another one.
size_of	Calculates the size of a type.
transmute	Casts an object to another type. Returns the same object but interpreted as an object of type `U`.
uninit	Creates an uninitialized object.
unreachable	Informs the optimizer that the execution cannot reach this point.
