When enabling it, you should provide a suitable critical section implementation + for the current target, see the [critical-section] documentation for details on how to do so. + + `critical-section` support is useful to get atomic CAS when the [`unsafe-assume-single-core` feature](#optional-features-unsafe-assume-single-core) can't be used, + such as multi-core targets, unprivileged code running under some RTOS, or environments where disabling interrupts + needs extra care due to e.g. real-time requirements. + + Note that with the `critical-section` feature, critical sections are taken for all atomic operations, while with + [`unsafe-assume-single-core` feature](#optional-features-unsafe-assume-single-core) some operations don't require disabling interrupts (loads and stores, but + additionally on MSP430 `add`, `sub`, `and`, `or`, `xor`, `not`). Therefore, for better performance, if + all the `critical-section` implementation for your target does is disable interrupts, prefer using + `unsafe-assume-single-core` feature instead. + + Note: + - The MSRV when this feature is enabled depends on the MSRV of [critical-section]. + - It is usually *not* recommended to always enable this feature in dependencies of the library. + + Enabling this feature will prevent the end user from having the chance to take advantage of other (potentially) efficient implementations ([Implementations provided by `unsafe-assume-single-core` feature, default implementations on MSP430 and AVR](#optional-features-unsafe-assume-single-core), implementation proposed in [#60], etc. Other systems may also be supported in the future). + + The recommended approach for libraries is to leave it up to the end user whether or not to enable this feature. (However, it may make sense to enable this feature by default for libraries specific to a platform where other implementations are known not to work.) + + As an example, the end-user's `Cargo.toml` that uses a crate that provides a critical-section implementation and a crate that depends on portable-atomic as an option would be expected to look like this: + + ```toml + [dependencies] + portable-atomic = { version = "1", default-features = false, features = ["critical-section"] } + crate-provides-critical-section-impl = "..." + crate-uses-portable-atomic-as-feature = { version = "...", features = ["portable-atomic"] } + ``` + +- <a name="optional-features-unsafe-assume-single-core"></a>**`unsafe-assume-single-core`**<br> + Assume that the target is single-core. + When this feature is enabled, this crate provides atomic CAS for targets where atomic CAS is not available in the standard library by disabling interrupts. + + This feature is `unsafe`, and note the following safety requirements: + - Enabling this feature for multi-core systems is always **unsound**. + - This uses privileged instructions to disable interrupts, so it usually doesn't work on unprivileged mode. + Enabling this feature in an environment where privileged instructions are not available, or if the instructions used are not sufficient to disable interrupts in the system, it is also usually considered **unsound**, although the details are system-dependent. + + The following are known cases: + - On pre-v6 ARM, this disables only IRQs by default. For many systems (e.g., GBA) this is enough. If the system need to disable both IRQs and FIQs, you need to enable the `disable-fiq` feature together. + - On RISC-V without A-extension, this generates code for machine-mode (M-mode) by default. If you enable the `s-mode` together, this generates code for supervisor-mode (S-mode). In particular, `qemu-system-riscv*` uses [OpenSBI](https://github.com/riscv-software-src/opensbi) as the default firmware. + + See also [the `interrupt` module's readme](https://github.com/taiki-e/portable-atomic/blob/HEAD/src/imp/interrupt/README.md). + + Consider using the [`critical-section` feature](#optional-features-critical-section) for systems that cannot use this feature. + + It is **very strongly discouraged** to enable this feature in libraries that depend on `portable-atomic`. The recommended approach for libraries is to leave it up to the end user whether or not to enable this feature. (However, it may make sense to enable this feature by default for libraries specific to a platform where it is guaranteed to always be sound, for example in a hardware abstraction layer targeting a single-core chip.) + + ARMv6-M (thumbv6m), pre-v6 ARM (e.g., thumbv4t, thumbv5te), RISC-V without A-extension, and Xtensa are currently supported. + + Since all MSP430 and AVR are single-core, we always provide atomic CAS for them without this feature. + + Enabling this feature for targets that have atomic CAS will result in a compile error. + + Feel free to submit an issue if your target is not supported yet. + +## Optional cfg + +One of the ways to enable cfg is to set [rustflags in the cargo config](https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/config.html#targettriplerustflags): + +```toml +# .cargo/config.toml +[target.<target>] +rustflags = ["--cfg", "portable_atomic_no_outline_atomics"] +``` + +Or set environment variable: + +```sh +RUSTFLAGS="--cfg portable_atomic_no_outline_atomics" cargo ... +``` + +- <a name="optional-cfg-unsafe-assume-single-core"></a>**`--cfg portable_atomic_unsafe_assume_single_core`**<br> + Since 1.4.0, this cfg is an alias of [`unsafe-assume-single-core` feature](#optional-features-unsafe-assume-single-core). + + Originally, we were providing these as cfgs instead of features, but based on a strong request from the embedded ecosystem, we have agreed to provide them as features as well. See [#94](https://github.com/taiki-e/portable-atomic/pull/94) for more. + +- <a name="optional-cfg-no-outline-atomics"></a>**`--cfg portable_atomic_no_outline_atomics`**<br> + Disable dynamic dispatching by run-time CPU feature detection. + + If dynamic dispatching by run-time CPU feature detection is enabled, it allows maintaining support for older CPUs while using features that are not supported on older CPUs, such as CMPXCHG16B (x86_64) and FEAT_LSE (aarch64). + + Note: + - Dynamic detection is currently only enabled in Rust 1.59+ for aarch64, in Rust 1.59+ (AVX) or 1.69+ (CMPXCHG16B) for x86_64, nightly only for powerpc64 (disabled by default), otherwise it works the same as when this cfg is set. + - If the required target features are enabled at compile-time, the atomic operations are inlined. + - This is compatible with no-std (as with all features except `std`). + - On some targets, run-time detection is disabled by default mainly for compatibility with older versions of operating systems or incomplete build environments, and can be enabled by `--cfg portable_atomic_outline_atomics`. (When both cfg are enabled, `*_no_*` cfg is preferred.) + - Some aarch64 targets enable LLVM's `outline-atomics` target feature by default, so if you set this cfg, you may want to disable that as well. (portable-atomic's outline-atomics does not depend on the compiler-rt symbols, so even if you need to disable LLVM's outline-atomics, you may not need to disable portable-atomic's outline-atomics.) + + See also the [`atomic128` module's readme](https://github.com/taiki-e/portable-atomic/blob/HEAD/src/imp/atomic128/README.md). + +## Related Projects + +- [atomic-maybe-uninit]: Atomic operations on potentially uninitialized integers. +- [atomic-memcpy]: Byte-wise atomic memcpy. + +[#60]: https://github.com/taiki-e/portable-atomic/issues/60 +[atomic-maybe-uninit]: https://github.com/taiki-e/atomic-maybe-uninit +[atomic-memcpy]: https://github.com/taiki-e/atomic-memcpy +[critical-section]: https://github.com/rust-embedded/critical-section +[rust-lang/rust#100650]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/100650 +[serde]: https://github.com/serde-rs/serde + +<!-- tidy:crate-doc:end --> + +## License + +Licensed under either of [Apache License, Version 2.0](LICENSE-APACHE) or +[MIT license](LICENSE-MIT) at your option. + +Unless you explicitly state otherwise, any contribution intentionally submitted +for inclusion in the work by you, as defined in the Apache-2.0 license, shall +be dual licensed as above, without any additional terms or conditions. |
