This intrinsic can be used in place of any value. It gives undefined results, usually by omitting
|
||
|
|
code. The runtime result will vary based on the choices of the optimizer and code generator. The compiler
|
||
|
|
will typically leave the register or memory location being targeted in its original state, completely
|
||
|
|
omitting any instructions that would have been required to update it. Any arithmetic performed with
|
||
|
|
`__undefined` as part of the computation will optimized down to a single usage of the `__undefined`
|
||
|
|
intrinsic, as the results are by definition undefined.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
One of the most common uses of this intrinsic is to exit the program while treating the exit code as
|
||
|
|
a "don't care" value, using `exit(__undefined)`. A `main` function that returns `void` implicitly
|
||
|
|
does this.
