What are the difference? * * - A: Allowed operations are different. * * - #RBIMPL_ATTR_CONST ... Functions attributed by this are not allowed to * read/write _any_ pointers at all (there are exceptional situations * when reading a pointer is possible but forget that; they are too * exceptional to be useful). Just remember that everything pointer- * related are NG. * * - #RBIMPL_ATTR_PURE ... Functions attributed by this can read any * nonvolatile pointers, but no writes are allowed at all. The ability * to read _any_ nonvolatile pointers makes it possible to mark ::VALUE- * taking functions as being pure, as long as they are read-only. * * - #RBIMPL_ATTR_NOALIAS ... Can both read/write, but only through * pointers passed to the function as parameters. This is a typical * situation when you create a C++ non-static member function which only * concerns `this`. No global variables are allowed to read/write. So * this is not a super-set of being pure. If you want to read something, * that has to be passed to the function as a pointer. ::VALUE -taking * functions thus cannot be attributed as such. */ #include "ruby/internal/compiler_since.h" #include "ruby/internal/has/declspec_attribute.h" /** Wraps (or simulates) `__declspec((noalias))` */ #if RBIMPL_COMPILER_BEFORE(Clang, 12, 0, 0) # /* # * `::llvm::Attribute::ArgMemOnly` was buggy before.
