//! Doorbell API for signaling events between cores. This is a low-level primitive used by higher-level channel and transport implementations.
use crate::{chan::Chan, future::MaybeSend};

/// Notifies the remote core that something has happened.
/// Carries no data - pure signaling primitive.
///
/// The meaning of Chan:
///   HSEM:   semaphore gate ID (0..=31)
///   MU:     transmit register index (0..=3)
///   Serial: logical channel byte in frame header
///   Host:   Unix socket / TCP port logical channel
///
/// # Ordering contract
///
/// `ring` is the publication edge for data written before signaling the peer.
/// Implementations must ensure those writes happen-before the corresponding
/// `wait` completion or `pending` observation on the receiving side. For
/// software pending bits this means a release operation in `ring` (or in the
/// interrupt producer) paired with an acquire operation in `wait`/`pending`, or
/// stronger ordering. For hardware-backed doorbells, the interrupt or MMIO
/// signal must not be observed by the peer before the shared-memory writes that
/// the signal publishes are visible.
