This supersedes DIP17.
The primary reason to use intrinsics instead of something built into the
language is that the latter is too complex for current (and likely also
future) compiler implementations.
Destroy!
Since this can affect semantics but might not always be available, is
there any chance you could add a feature detection intrinsic for this?
Maybe a compile-time "haveVolatileOps" identifier would work.
Volatility might be absent if:
- The backend target can't forward the volatility guarantees, ex: a D
compiler that emits JavaScript code.
- The compiler has not implemented volatile operations yet.
