<p>Part of our examples and exercises are borrowed from <a href="https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-by-example">Rust By Example</a>, thanks for your great works!</p>
<p>Although they are so awesome, we have our own secret weapons :)</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>There are three parts in each chapter: examples, exercises and practices</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Besides examples, we have <code>a lot of exercises</code>, you can Read, Edit and Run them ONLINE</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Covering nearly all aspects of Rust, such as async/await, threads, sync primitives, optimizing, standard libraries, tool chain, data structures and algorithms etc.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Every exercise has its own solutions</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The overall difficulties are a bit higher and from easy to super hard: easy 🌟 medium 🌟🌟 hard 🌟🌟🌟 super hard 🌟🌟🌟🌟</p>
</li>

<p>Following questions come up weekly in online Rust discussions:</p>
<ul>
<li>I just finished reading The Book, what should I do next ?</li>
<li>What projects would you recommend to a Rust beginner?</li>
<li>Looking for small projects with an elegant code base</li>
<li>Codes that is easy to read and learn</li>
</ul>
<p>The answers to these questions are always <strong>Practice</strong>: doing some exercises, and then reading some small and excellent Rust projects.</p>
<p>This is precisely the goal of this book, so, collecting relative resourses and representing in <em>Rust By Practice</em> seems not a bad idea.</p>
<h3 id="1-ripgrep"><a class="header" href="#1-ripgrep">1. Ripgrep</a></h3>
<p>Answers for above questions usually came with <a href="https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep"><code>ripgrep</code></a>, though I don't think it is a <strong>small</strong> project, but yes, go for it if you are not afraid to delve deep a bit.</p>

<p>Within the destructuring of a single variable, both by-move and by-reference pattern bindings can be used at the same time.

<p>Want a string that's not UTF-8? (Remember, str and String must be valid UTF-8). Or maybe you want an array of bytes that's mostly text? Byte strings to the rescue!</p>
<p><strong>Example</strong>:</p>
<pre><pre class="playground"><code class="language-rust editable edition2021">use std::str;
fn main() {
// Note that this is not actually a `&amp;str`
let bytestring: &amp;[u8; 21] = b"this is a byte string";
// Byte arrays don't have the `Display` trait, so printing them is a bit limited
println!("A byte string: {:?}", bytestring);
// Byte strings can have byte escapes...
let escaped = b"\x52\x75\x73\x74 as bytes";
// ...But no unicode escapes
// let escaped = b"\u{211D} Is not allowed";
println!("Some escaped bytes: {:?}", escaped);
// Raw byte strings work just like raw strings
let raw_bytestring = br"\u{211D} is not escaped here";
println!("{:?}", raw_bytestring);
// Converting a byte array to `str` can fail
if let Ok(my_str) = str::from_utf8(raw_bytestring) {
println!("And the same as text: '{}'", my_str);
}
let _quotes = br#"You can also use "fancier" formatting, \
like with normal raw strings"#;
// Byte strings don't have to be UTF-8
let shift_jis = b"\x82\xe6\x82\xa8\x82\xb1\x82\xbb"; // "ようこそ" In SHIFT-JIS
// But then they can't always be converted to `str`
match str::from_utf8(shift_jis) {
Ok(my_str) =&gt; println!("Conversion successful: '{}'", my_str),
Err(e) =&gt; println!("Conversion failed: {:?}", e),

<div style="break-before: page; page-break-before: always;"></div><h1 id="const-generics"><a class="header" href="#const-generics">Const Generics</a></h1>
<p>Const generics are generic arguments that range over constant values, rather than types or lifetimes. This allows, for instance, types to be parameterized by integers. In fact, there has been one example of const generic types since early on in Rust's development: the array types [T; N], for some type T and N: usize. However, there has previously been no way to abstract over arrays of an arbitrary size: if you wanted to implement a trait for arrays of any size, you would have to do so manually for each possible value. For a long time, even the standard library methods for arrays were limited to arrays of length at most 32 due to this problem.</p>

<p>In <a href="https://practice.rs/generics-traits/traits.html#returning-types-that-implement-traits">traits chapter</a> we have seen that we can't use <code>impl Trait</code> when returning multiple types.</p>
<p>Another limitation of arrays is that they can only store elements of one type. Using enums is not a bad solution when we have a fixed set of types at compile time, but trait objects would be more flexible and powerful.</p>
<h2 id="returning-traits-with-dyn"><a class="header" href="#returning-traits-with-dyn">Returning Traits with dyn</a></h2>
<p>The Rust compiler needs to know how much space a function's return type requires. Because the different implementations of a trait probably uses different amounts of memory, functions need to either return a concrete type or the same type when using <code>impl Trait</code>, or return a trait object with <code>dyn</code>.</p>

<h2 id="static-and-dynamic-dispatch"><a class="header" href="#static-and-dynamic-dispatch">Static and Dynamic dispatch</a></h2>
<p>When we use trait bounds on generics, the compiler generates nongeneric implementations of functions and methods for each concrete type that we use in place of a generic type parameter. The code that results from monomorphization is doing static dispatch, which is when the compiler knows what method you’re calling at compile time.</p>
<p>When we use trait objects, Rust must use dynamic dispatch. The compiler doesn’t know all the types that might be used with the code that is using trait objects, so it doesn’t know which method implemented on which type to call. Instead, at runtime, Rust uses the pointers inside the trait object to know which method to call. There is a runtime cost when this lookup happens that doesn’t occur with static dispatch. Dynamic dispatch also prevents the compiler from choosing to inline a method’s code, which in turn prevents some optimizations.</p>
<p>However, we do get extra flexibility when using dynamic dispatch.</p>

<h3 id="capacity"><a class="header" href="#capacity">Capacity</a></h3>
<p>The capacity of a vector is the amount of space allocated for any future elements that will be added onto the vector. This is not to be confused with the length of a vector, which specifies the number of actual elements within the vector. If a vector’s length exceeds its capacity, its capacity will automatically be increased, but its elements will have to be reallocated.</p>
<p>For example, a vector with capacity 10 and length 0 would be an empty vector with space for 10 more elements. Pushing 10 or fewer elements onto the vector will not change its capacity or cause reallocation to occur. However, if the vector’s length is increased to 11, it will have to reallocate, which can be slow. For this reason, it is recommended to use <code>Vec::with_capacity </code>whenever possible to specify how big the vector is expected to get.</p>

<div style="break-before: page; page-break-before: always;"></div><h1 id="hashmap"><a class="header" href="#hashmap">HashMap</a></h1>
<p>Where vectors store values by an integer index, HashMaps store values by key. It is a hash map implemented with quadratic probing and SIMD lookup. By default, <code>HashMap</code> uses a hashing algorithm selected to provide resistance against HashDoS attacks.</p>
<p>The default hashing algorithm is currently <code>SipHash 1-3</code>, though this is subject to change at any point in the future. While its performance is very competitive for medium sized keys, other hashing algorithms will outperform it for small keys such as integers as well as large keys such as long strings, though those algorithms will typically not protect against attacks such as HashDoS.</p>
<p>The hash table implementation is a Rust port of Google’s <a href="https://abseil.io/blog/20180927-swisstables">SwissTable</a>. The original C++ version of SwissTable can be found <a href="https://github.com/abseil/abseil-cpp/blob/master/absl/container/internal/raw_hash_set.h">here</a>, and this <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncHmEUmJZf4">CppCon talk</a> gives an overview of how the algorithm works.</p>

<li><code>bool</code> (though not very useful since there is only two possible keys)</li>
<li><code>int</code>, <code>uint</code>, and all variations thereof</li>
<li><code>String</code> and <code>&amp;str</code> (tips: you can have a <code>HashMap</code> keyed by <code>String</code> and call <code>.get()</code> with an <code>&amp;str</code>)</li>

<p>The <code>From</code> trait allows for a type to define how to create itself from another type, hence providing a very simple mechanism for converting between several types.</p>
<p>The <code>From</code> and <code>Into</code> traits are inherently linked, and this is actually part of its implementation. It means if we write something like this: <code>impl From&lt;T&gt; for U</code>, then we can use
<code>let u: U = U::from(T)</code> or <code>let u:U = T.into()</code>.</p>
<p>The <code>Into</code> trait is simply the reciprocal of the <code>From</code> trait. That is, if you have implemented the <code>From</code> trait for your type, then the <code>Into</code> trait will be automatically implemented for the same type.</p>
<p>Using the <code>Into</code> trait will typically require the type annotations as the compiler is unable to determine this most of the time.</p>
<p>For example, we can easily convert <code>&amp;str</code> into <code>String</code> :</p>
<pre><pre class="playground"><code class="language-rust edition2021">fn main() {
let my_str = "hello";
// three conversions below all depends on the fact: String implements From&lt;&amp;str&gt;:
let string1 = String::from(my_str);
let string2 = my_str.to_string();
// Explicit type annotation is required here
let string3: String = my_str.into();

</span><span class="boring">fn main() {
</span>/*! # Doc comments

<p>Then run <code>cargo doc --open</code> and see the results.</p>

<p>Here, we used <code>fmt::Display</code> because the std library provides implementations

<ul>
<li><code>format!</code>: write formatted text to [<code>String</code>][string]</li>
<li><code>print!</code>: same as <code>format!</code> but the text is printed to the console (io::stdout).</li>
<li><code>println!</code>: same as <code>print!</code> but a newline is appended.</li>
<li><code>eprint!</code>: same as <code>format!</code> but the text is printed to the standard error (io::stderr).</li>
<li><code>eprintln!</code>: same as <code>eprint!</code>but a newline is appended.</li>
</ul>
<p>All parse text in the same fashion. As a plus, Rust checks format correctness at compile time.</p>

<p>Rust provides support for inline assembly via the <code>asm!</code> macro.
It can be used to embed handwritten assembly in the assembly output generated by the compiler.
Generally this should not be necessary, but might be where the required performance or timing
cannot be otherwise achieved. Accessing low level hardware primitives, e.g. in kernel code, may also demand this functionality.</p>
<blockquote>
<p><strong>Note</strong>: the examples here are given in x86/x86-64 assembly, but other architectures are also supported.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Inline assembly is currently supported on the following architectures:</p>
<ul>
<li>x86 and x86-64</li>
<li>ARM</li>
<li>AArch64</li>
<li>RISC-V</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="basic-usage"><a class="header" href="#basic-usage">Basic usage</a></h2>
<p>Let us start with the simplest possible example:</p>
<pre><pre class="playground"><code class="language-rust edition2021"><span class="boring">#![allow(unused)]
</span><span class="boring">fn main() {
</span>use std::arch::asm;
unsafe {
asm!("nop");
}
<span class="boring">}</span></code></pre></pre>
<p>This will insert a NOP (no operation) instruction into the assembly generated by the compiler.
Note that all <code>asm!</code> invocations have to be inside an <code>unsafe</code> block, as they could insert
arbitrary instructions and break various invariants. The instructions to be inserted are listed
in the first argument of the <code>asm!</code> macro as a string literal.</p>
<h2 id="inputs-and-outputs"><a class="header" href="#inputs-and-outputs">Inputs and outputs</a></h2>
<p>Now inserting an instruction that does nothing is rather boring. Let us do something that
actually acts on data:</p>
<pre><pre class="playground"><code class="language-rust edition2021"><span class="boring">#![allow(unused)]
</span><span class="boring">fn main() {
</span>use std::arch::asm;
let x: u64;
unsafe {
asm!("mov {}, 5", out(reg) x);
}
assert_eq!(x, 5);
<span class="boring">}</span></code></pre></pre>
<p>This will write the value <code>5</code> into the <code>u64</code> variable <code>x</code>.
You can see that the string literal we use to specify instructions is actually a template string.
It is governed by the same rules as Rust <a href="https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/fmt/#syntax">format strings</a>.
The arguments that are inserted into the template however look a bit different than you may
be familiar with. First we need to specify if the variable is an input or an output of the
inline assembly. In this case it is an output. We declared this by writing <code>out</code>.
We also need to specify in what kind of register the assembly expects the variable.
In this case we put it in an arbitrary general purpose register by specifying <code>reg</code>.
The compiler will choose an appropriate register to insert into
the template and will read the variable from there after the inline assembly finishes executing.</p>
<p>Let us see another example that also uses an input:</p>
<pre><pre class="playground"><code class="language-rust edition2021"><span class="boring">#![allow(unused)]
</span><span class="boring">fn main() {
</span>use std::arch::asm;
let i: u64 = 3;
let o: u64;
unsafe {
asm!(
"mov {0}, {1}",
"add {0}, 5",
out(reg) o,
in(reg) i,
);
}
assert_eq!(o, 8);
<span class="boring">}</span></code></pre></pre>
<p>This will add <code>5</code> to the input in variable <code>i</code> and write the result to variable <code>o</code>.
The particular way this assembly does this is first copying the value from <code>i</code> to the output,
and then adding <code>5</code> to it.</p>
<p>The example shows a few things:</p>
<p>First, we can see that <code>asm!</code> allows multiple template string arguments; each
one is treated as a separate line of assembly code, as if they were all joined
together with newlines between them. This makes it easy to format assembly
code.</p>
<p>Second, we can see that inputs are declared by writing <code>in</code> instead of <code>out</code>.</p>
<p>Third, we can see that we can specify an argument number, or name as in any format string.
For inline assembly templates this is particularly useful as arguments are often used more than once.
For more complex inline assembly using this facility is generally recommended, as it improves
readability, and allows reordering instructions without changing the argument order.</p>
<p>We can further refine the above example to avoid the <code>mov</code> instruction:</p>
<pre><pre class="playground"><code class="language-rust edition2021"><span class="boring">#![allow(unused)]
</span><span class="boring">fn main() {
</span>use std::arch::asm;
let mut x: u64 = 3;
unsafe {
asm!("add {0}, 5", inout(reg) x);
}
assert_eq!(x, 8);
<span class="boring">}</span></code></pre></pre>
<p>We can see that <code>inout</code> is used to specify an argument that is both input and output.
This is different from specifying an input and output separately in that it is guaranteed to assign both to the same register.</p>
<p>It is also possible to specify different variables for the input and output parts of an <code>inout</code> operand:</p>
<pre><pre class="playground"><code class="language-rust edition2021"><span class="boring">#![allow(unused)]
</span><span class="boring">fn main() {
</span>use std::arch::asm;
let x: u64 = 3;
let y: u64;
unsafe {
asm!("add {0}, 5", inout(reg) x =&gt; y);
}
assert_eq!(y, 8);
<span class="boring">}</span></code></pre></pre>
<h2 id="late-output-operands"><a class="header" href="#late-output-operands">Late output operands</a></h2>
<p>The Rust compiler is conservative with its allocation of operands. It is assumed that an <code>out</code>
can be written at any time, and can therefore not share its location with any other argument.
However, to guarantee optimal performance it is important to use as few registers as possible,
so they won't have to be saved and reloaded around the inline assembly block.
To achieve this Rust provides a <code>lateout</code> specifier. This can be used on any output that is
written only after all inputs have been consumed.
There is also a <code>inlateout</code> variant of this specifier.</p>
<p>Here is an example where <code>inlateout</code> <em>cannot</em> be used:</p>
<pre><pre class="playground"><code class="language-rust edition2021"><span class="boring">#![allow(unused)]
</span><span class="boring">fn main() {
</span>use std::arch::asm;
let mut a: u64 = 4;
let b: u64 = 4;
let c: u64 = 4;
unsafe {
asm!(
"add {0}, {1}",
"add {0}, {2}",
inout(reg) a,
in(reg) b,
in(reg) c,
);
}
assert_eq!(a, 12);
<span class="boring">}</span></code></pre></pre>
<p>Here the compiler is free to allocate the same register for inputs <code>b</code> and <code>c</code> since it knows they have the same value. However it must allocate a separate register for <code>a</code> since it uses <code>inout</code> and not <code>inlateout</code>. If <code>inlateout</code> was used, then <code>a</code> and <code>c</code> could be allocated to the same register, in which case the first instruction to overwrite the value of <code>c</code> and cause the assembly code to produce the wrong result.</p>
<p>However the following example can use <code>inlateout</code> since the output is only modified after all input registers have been read:</p>
<pre><pre class="playground"><code class="language-rust edition2021"><span class="boring">#![allow(unused)]
</span><span class="boring">fn main() {
</span>use std::arch::asm;
let mut a: u64 = 4;
let b: u64 = 4;
unsafe {
asm!("add {0}, {1}", inlateout(reg) a, in(reg) b);
}
assert_eq!(a, 8);
<span class="boring">}</span></code></pre></pre>
<p>As you can see, this assembly fragment will still work correctly if <code>a</code> and <code>b</code> are assigned to the same register.</p>
<h2 id="explicit-register-operands"><a class="header" href="#explicit-register-operands">Explicit register operands</a></h2>
<p>Some instructions require that the operands be in a specific register.
Therefore, Rust inline assembly provides some more specific constraint specifiers.
While <code>reg</code> is generally available on any architecture, explicit registers are highly architecture specific. E.g. for x86 the general purpose registers <code>eax</code>, <code>ebx</code>, <code>ecx</code>, <code>edx</code>, <code>ebp</code>, <code>esi</code>, and <code>edi</code> among others can be addressed by their name.</p>
<pre><pre class="playground"><code class="language-rust no_run edition2021"><span class="boring">#![allow(unused)]
</span><span class="boring">fn main() {
</span>use std::arch::asm;
let cmd = 0xd1;
unsafe {
asm!("out 0x64, eax", in("eax") cmd);
}
<span class="boring">}</span></code></pre></pre>
<p>In this example we call the <code>out</code> instruction to output the content of the <code>cmd</code> variable to port <code>0x64</code>. Since the <code>out</code> instruction only accepts <code>eax</code> (and its sub registers) as operand we had to use the <code>eax</code> constraint specifier.</p>
<blockquote>
<p><strong>Note</strong>: unlike other operand types, explicit register operands cannot be used in the template string: you can't use <code>{}</code> and should write the register name directly instead. Also, they must appear at the end of the operand list after all other operand types.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Consider this example which uses the x86 <code>mul</code> instruction:</p>
<pre><pre class="playground"><code class="language-rust edition2021"><span class="boring">#![allow(unused)]
</span><span class="boring">fn main() {
</span>use std::arch::asm;
fn mul(a: u64, b: u64) -&gt; u128 {
let lo: u64;
let hi: u64;
unsafe {
asm!(
// The x86 mul instruction takes rax as an implicit input and writes
// the 128-bit result of the multiplication to rax:rdx.
"mul {}",
in(reg) a,
inlateout("rax") b =&gt; lo,
lateout("rdx") hi
);
}
((hi as u128) &lt;&lt; 64) + lo as u128
}
<span class="boring">}</span></code></pre></pre>
<p>This uses the <code>mul</code> instruction to multiply two 64-bit inputs with a 128-bit result.
The only explicit operand is a register, that we fill from the variable <code>a</code>.
The second operand is implicit, and must be the <code>rax</code> register, which we fill from the variable <code>b</code>.
The lower 64 bits of the result are stored in <code>rax</code> from which we fill the variable <code>lo</code>.
The higher 64 bits are stored in <code>rdx</code> from which we fill the variable <code>hi</code>.</p>
<h2 id="clobbered-registers"><a class="header" href="#clobbered-registers">Clobbered registers</a></h2>
<p>In many cases inline assembly will modify state that is not needed as an output.
Usually this is either because we have to use a scratch register in the assembly or because instructions modify state that we don't need to further examine.
This state is generally referred to as being "clobbered".
We need to tell the compiler about this since it may need to save and restore this state around the inline assembly block.</p>
<pre><pre class="playground"><code class="language-rust edition2021">use core::arch::asm;
fn main() {
// three entries of four bytes each
let mut name_buf = [0_u8; 12];
// String is stored as ascii in ebx, edx, ecx in order
// Because ebx is reserved, we get a scratch register and move from
// ebx into it in the asm. The asm needs to preserve the value of
// that register though, so it is pushed and popped around the main asm
// (in 64 bit mode for 64 bit processors, 32 bit processors would use ebx)
unsafe {
asm!(
"push rbx",
"cpuid",
"mov [{0}], ebx",
"mov [{0} + 4], edx",
"mov [{0} + 8], ecx",
"pop rbx",
// We use a pointer to an array for storing the values to simplify
// the Rust code at the cost of a couple more asm instructions
// This is more explicit with how the asm works however, as opposed
// to explicit register outputs such as `out("ecx") val`
// The *pointer itself* is only an input even though it's written behind
in(reg) name_buf.as_mut_ptr(),
// select cpuid 0, also specify eax as clobbered
inout("eax") 0 =&gt; _,
// cpuid clobbers these registers too
out("ecx") _,
out("edx") _,
);
}
let name = core::str::from_utf8(&amp;name_buf).unwrap();
println!("CPU Manufacturer ID: {}", name);
}</code></pre></pre>
<p>In the example above we use the <code>cpuid</code> instruction to read the CPU manufacturer ID.
This instruction writes to <code>eax</code> with the maximum supported <code>cpuid</code> argument and <code>ebx</code>, <code>esx</code>, and <code>ecx</code> with the CPU manufacturer ID as ASCII bytes in that order.</p>
<p>Even though <code>eax</code> is never read we still need to tell the compiler that the register has been modified so that the compiler can save any values that were in these registers before the asm. This is done by declaring it as an output but with <code>_</code> instead of a variable name, which indicates that the output value is to be discarded.</p>
<p>This code also works around the limitation that <code>ebx</code> is a reserved register by LLVM. That means that LLVM assumes that it has full control over the register and it must be restored to its original state before exiting the asm block, so it cannot be used as an output. To work around this we save the register via <code>push</code>, read from <code>ebx</code> inside the asm block into a temporary register allocated with <code>out(reg)</code> and then restoring <code>ebx</code> to its original state via <code>pop</code>. The <code>push</code> and <code>pop</code> use the full 64-bit <code>rbx</code> version of the register to ensure that the entire register is saved. On 32 bit targets the code would instead use <code>ebx</code> in the <code>push</code>/<code>pop</code>.</p>
<p>This can also be used with a general register class (e.g. <code>reg</code>) to obtain a scratch register for use inside the asm code:</p>
<pre><pre class="playground"><code class="language-rust edition2021"><span class="boring">#![allow(unused)]
</span><span class="boring">fn main() {
</span>use std::arch::asm;
// Multiply x by 6 using shifts and adds
let mut x: u64 = 4;
unsafe {
asm!(
"mov {tmp}, {x}",
"shl {tmp}, 1",
"shl {x}, 2",
"add {x}, {tmp}",
x = inout(reg) x,
tmp = out(reg) _,
);
}
assert_eq!(x, 4 * 6);
<span class="boring">}</span></code></pre></pre>
<h2 id="symbol-operands-and-abi-clobbers"><a class="header" href="#symbol-operands-and-abi-clobbers">Symbol operands and ABI clobbers</a></h2>
<p>By default, <code>asm!</code> assumes that any register not specified as an output will have its contents preserved by the assembly code. The <a href="unsafe/../../reference/inline-assembly.html#abi-clobbers"><code>clobber_abi</code></a> argument to <code>asm!</code> tells the compiler to automatically insert the necessary clobber operands according to the given calling convention ABI: any register which is not fully preserved in that ABI will be treated as clobbered. Multiple <code>clobber_abi</code> arguments may be provided and all clobbers from all specified ABIs will be inserted.</p>
<pre><pre class="playground"><code class="language-rust edition2021"><span class="boring">#![allow(unused)]

</span>use std::arch::asm;
extern "C" fn foo(arg: i32) -&gt; i32 {

clobber_abi("C"),
);
result
}
}
<span class="boring">}</span></code></pre></pre>
<h2 id="register-template-modifiers"><a class="header" href="#register-template-modifiers">Register template modifiers</a></h2>
<p>In some cases, fine control is needed over the way a register name is formatted when inserted into the template string. This is needed when an architecture's assembly language has several names for the same register, each typically being a "view" over a subset of the register (e.g. the low 32 bits of a 64-bit register).</p>
<p>By default the compiler will always choose the name that refers to the full register size (e.g. <code>rax</code> on x86-64, <code>eax</code> on x86, etc).</p>
<p>This default can be overridden by using modifiers on the template string operands, just like you would with format strings:</p>
<pre><pre class="playground"><code class="language-rust edition2021"><span class="boring">#![allow(unused)]
</span><span class="boring">fn main() {
</span>use std::arch::asm;
let mut x: u16 = 0xab;
unsafe {
asm!("mov {0:h}, {0:l}", inout(reg_abcd) x);
}
assert_eq!(x, 0xabab);
<span class="boring">}</span></code></pre></pre>
<p>In this example, we use the <code>reg_abcd</code> register class to restrict the register allocator to the 4 legacy x86 registers (<code>ax</code>, <code>bx</code>, <code>cx</code>, <code>dx</code>) of which the first two bytes can be addressed independently.</p>
<p>Let us assume that the register allocator has chosen to allocate <code>x</code> in the <code>ax</code> register.
The <code>h</code> modifier will emit the register name for the high byte of that register and the <code>l</code> modifier will emit the register name for the low byte. The asm code will therefore be expanded as <code>mov ah, al</code> which copies the low byte of the value into the high byte.</p>
<p>If you use a smaller data type (e.g. <code>u16</code>) with an operand and forget the use template modifiers, the compiler will emit a warning and suggest the correct modifier to use.</p>
<h2 id="memory-address-operands"><a class="header" href="#memory-address-operands">Memory address operands</a></h2>
<p>Sometimes assembly instructions require operands passed via memory addresses/memory locations.
You have to manually use the memory address syntax specified by the target architecture.
For example, on x86/x86_64 using Intel assembly syntax, you should wrap inputs/outputs in <code>[]</code> to indicate they are memory operands:</p>
<pre><pre class="playground"><code class="language-rust edition2021"><span class="boring">#![allow(unused)]
</span><span class="boring">fn main() {
</span>use std::arch::asm;
fn load_fpu_control_word(control: u16) {
unsafe {
asm!("fldcw [{}]", in(reg) &amp;control, options(nostack));
}
}
<span class="boring">}</span></code></pre></pre>
<h2 id="labels"><a class="header" href="#labels">Labels</a></h2>
<p>Any reuse of a named label, local or otherwise, can result in an assembler or linker error or may cause other strange behavior. Reuse of a named label can happen in a variety of ways including:</p>
<ul>
<li>explicitly: using a label more than once in one <code>asm!</code> block, or multiple times across blocks.</li>
<li>implicitly via inlining: the compiler is allowed to instantiate multiple copies of an <code>asm!</code> block, for example when the function containing it is inlined in multiple places.</li>
<li>implicitly via LTO: LTO can cause code from <em>other crates</em> to be placed in the same codegen unit, and so could bring in arbitrary labels.</li>
</ul>
<p>As a consequence, you should only use GNU assembler <strong>numeric</strong> <a href="https://sourceware.org/binutils/docs/as/Symbol-Names.html#Local-Labels">local labels</a> inside inline assembly code. Defining symbols in assembly code may lead to assembler and/or linker errors due to duplicate symbol definitions.</p>
<p>Moreover, on x86 when using the default Intel syntax, due to <a href="https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36144">an LLVM bug</a>, you shouldn't use labels exclusively made of <code>0</code> and <code>1</code> digits, e.g. <code>0</code>, <code>11</code> or <code>101010</code>, as they may end up being interpreted as binary values. Using <code>options(att_syntax)</code> will avoid any ambiguity, but that affects the syntax of the <em>entire</em> <code>asm!</code> block. (See <a href="unsafe/inline-asm.html#options">Options</a>, below, for more on <code>options</code>.)</p>
<pre><pre class="playground"><code class="language-rust edition2021"><span class="boring">#![allow(unused)]
</span><span class="boring">fn main() {
</span>use std::arch::asm;
let mut a = 0;
unsafe {
asm!(
"mov {0}, 10",
"2:",
"sub {0}, 1",
"cmp {0}, 3",
"jle 2f",
"jmp 2b",
"2:",
"add {0}, 2",
out(reg) a
);
}
assert_eq!(a, 5);
<span class="boring">}</span></code></pre></pre>
<p>This will decrement the <code>{0}</code> register value from 10 to 3, then add 2 and store it in <code>a</code>.</p>
<p>This example shows a few things:</p>
<ul>
<li>First, that the same number can be used as a label multiple times in the same inline block.</li>
<li>Second, that when a numeric label is used as a reference (as an instruction operand, for example), the suffixes “b” (“backward”) or ”f” (“forward”) should be added to the numeric label. It will then refer to the nearest label defined by this number in this direction.</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="options"><a class="header" href="#options">Options</a></h2>
<p>By default, an inline assembly block is treated the same way as an external FFI function call with a custom calling convention: it may read/write memory, have observable side effects, etc. However, in many cases it is desirable to give the compiler more information about what the assembly code is actually doing so that it can optimize better.</p>
<p>Let's take our previous example of an <code>add</code> instruction:</p>
<pre><pre class="playground"><code class="language-rust edition2021"><span class="boring">#![allow(unused)]
</span><span class="boring">fn main() {
</span>use std::arch::asm;
let mut a: u64 = 4;
let b: u64 = 4;
unsafe {
asm!(
"add {0}, {1}",
inlateout(reg) a, in(reg) b,
options(pure, nomem, nostack),
);
}
assert_eq!(a, 8);
<span class="boring">}</span></code></pre></pre>
<p>Options can be provided as an optional final argument to the <code>asm!</code> macro. We specified three options here:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>pure</code> means that the asm code has no observable side effects and that its output depends only on its inputs. This allows the compiler optimizer to call the inline asm fewer times or even eliminate it entirely.</li>
<li><code>nomem</code> means that the asm code does not read or write to memory. By default the compiler will assume that inline assembly can read or write any memory address that is accessible to it (e.g. through a pointer passed as an operand, or a global).</li>
<li><code>nostack</code> means that the asm code does not push any data onto the stack. This allows the compiler to use optimizations such as the stack red zone on x86-64 to avoid stack pointer adjustments.</li>
</ul>
<p>These allow the compiler to better optimize code using <code>asm!</code>, for example by eliminating pure <code>asm!</code> blocks whose outputs are not needed.</p>
<p>See the <a href="unsafe/../../reference/inline-assembly.html">reference</a> for the full list of available options and their effects.</p>
