//! Types for volatile access to memory.
//!
//! Two of the core rules for safe rust is no data races and no aliased mutable references.
//! `VolatileRef` and `VolatileSlice`, along with types that produce those which implement
//! `VolatileMemory`, allow us to sidestep that rule by wrapping pointers that absolutely have to be
//! accessed volatile. Some systems really do need to operate on shared memory and can't have the
//! compiler reordering or eliding access because it has no visibility into what other systems are
//! doing with that hunk of memory.
//!
//! For the purposes of maintaining safety, volatile memory has some rules of its own:
//! 1. No references or slices to volatile memory (`&` or `&mut`).
//! 2. Access should always been done with a volatile read or write.
//! The First rule is because having references of any kind to memory considered volatile would
//! violate pointer aliasing. The second is because unvolatile accesses are inherently undefined if
//! done concurrently without synchronization. With volatile access we know that the compiler has
//! not reordered or elided the access.
