1//! # The Rust Core Library
2//!
3//! The Rust Core Library is the dependency-free[^free] foundation of [The
4//! Rust Standard Library](../std/index.html). It is the portable glue
5//! between the language and its libraries, defining the intrinsic and
6//! primitive building blocks of all Rust code. It links to no
7//! upstream libraries, no system libraries, and no libc.
8//!
9//! [^free]: Strictly speaking, there are some symbols which are needed but
10//!          they aren't always necessary.
11//!
12//! The core library is *minimal*: it isn't even aware of heap allocation,
13//! nor does it provide concurrency or I/O. These things require
14//! platform integration, and this library is platform-agnostic.
15//!
16//! # How to use the core library
17//!
18//! Please note that all of these details are currently not considered stable.
19//!
20// FIXME: Fill me in with more detail when the interface settles
21//! This library is built on the assumption of a few existing symbols:
22//!
23//! * `memcpy`, `memmove`, `memset`, `memcmp`, `bcmp`, `strlen` - These are core memory routines
24//!   which are generated by Rust codegen backends. Additionally, this library can make explicit
25//!   calls to `strlen`. Their signatures are the same as found in C, but there are extra
26//!   assumptions about their semantics: For `memcpy`, `memmove`, `memset`, `memcmp`, and `bcmp`, if
27//!   the `n` parameter is 0, the function is assumed to not be UB, even if the pointers are NULL or
28//!   dangling. (Note that making extra assumptions about these functions is common among compilers:
29//!   [clang](https://reviews.llvm.org/D86993) and [GCC](https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Standards.html#C-Language) do the same.)
30//!   These functions are often provided by the system libc, but can also be provided by the
31//!   [compiler-builtins crate](https://crates.io/crates/compiler_builtins).
32//!   Note that the library does not guarantee that it will always make these assumptions, so Rust
33//!   user code directly calling the C functions should follow the C specification! The advice for
34//!   Rust user code is to call the functions provided by this library instead (such as
35//!   `ptr::copy`).
36//!
37//! * Panic handler - This function takes one argument, a `&panic::PanicInfo`. It is up to consumers of this core
38//!   library to define this panic function; it is only required to never
39//!   return. You should mark your implementation using `#[panic_handler]`.
40//!
41//! * `rust_eh_personality` - is used by the failure mechanisms of the
42//!   compiler. This is often mapped to GCC's personality function, but crates
43//!   which do not trigger a panic can be assured that this function is never
44//!   called. The `lang` attribute is called `eh_personality`.
