1//! Module: memory::runtime
2//!
3//! Responsibility: coordinate eager TLS initialization and memory bootstrap readiness.
4//! Does not own: stable schema definitions, allocation policy, or lifecycle hooks.
5//! Boundary: macros and lifecycle call this before stable-memory-backed statics are used.

10// Eager TLS
11// -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
12// Internal registry of "TLS touch" functions.
13//
14// Each function must be a plain `fn()` pointer (not a closure). When invoked,
15// the function must perform a `.with(|_| {})` on a thread_local! static.
16// This guarantees that the TLS slot is *initialized eagerly*, not lazily, so
17// stable memory pages or other backing buffers are allocated in a deterministic
18// order before any canister entry points are executed.
19//
20// These functions are registered by the `eager_static!` macro via
21// `defer_tls_initializer()`, and run once during process startup by
22// `init_eager_tls()`.

29/// Run all deferred TLS initializers and clear the registry.
30///
31/// This drains the internal queue of initializer functions and invokes
32/// each *exactly once*. The use of `std::mem::take` ensures:
33///
34/// - the vector is fully emptied before we run any initializers
35/// - we drop the borrow before calling user code (prevents borrow panics)
36/// - functions cannot be re-run accidentally
37/// - reentrant modifications of the queue become visible *after* this call
38///
39/// This should be invoked before any IC canister lifecycle hooks (init, update,
40/// heartbeat, etc.) so that thread-local caches are in a fully-initialized state
41/// before the canister performs memory-dependent work.
