Set dead_on_return attribute for indirect arguments Set the dead_on_return attribute (added in LLVM 21) for arguments that are passed indirectly, but not byval. This indicates that the value of the argument on return does not matter, enabling additional dead store elimination. From LangRef: > This attribute indicates that the memory pointed to by the argument is dead upon function return, both upon normal return and if the calls unwinds, meaning that the caller will not depend on its contents. Stores that would be observable either on the return path or on the unwind path may be elided. > > Specifically, the behavior is as-if any memory written through the pointer during the execution of the function is overwritten with a poison value upon function return. The caller may access the memory, but any load not preceded by a store will return poison. > > This attribute does not imply aliasing properties. For pointer arguments that do not alias other memory locations, noalias attribute may be used in conjunction. Conversely, this attribute always implies dead_on_unwind. > > This attribute cannot be applied to return values. This fixes parts of https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/96497. |

This is the main source code repository for Rust. It contains the compiler, standard library, and documentation.
Why Rust?
-
Performance: Fast and memory-efficient, suitable for critical services, embedded devices, and easily integrated with other languages.
-
Reliability: Our rich type system and ownership model ensure memory and thread safety, reducing bugs at compile-time.
-
Productivity: Comprehensive documentation, a compiler committed to providing great diagnostics, and advanced tooling including package manager and build tool (Cargo), auto-formatter (rustfmt), linter (Clippy) and editor support (rust-analyzer).
