Functions

black_boxExperimental

An identity function that hints to the compiler to be maximally pessimistic about what black_box could do.

Emits a machine instruction to signal the processor that it is running in a busy-wait spin-loop (“spin lock”).

Informs the compiler that this point in the code is not reachable, enabling further optimizations.
