//! 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 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`, 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.

    /// Doorbell covers multiple channels (e.g. MU has 4).
    ///
    /// The returned future is an opaque `impl Future` (RPITIT), matching
    /// [`SendTransport`](crate::SendTransport) and
    /// [`RecvTransport`](crate::RecvTransport): implementations may be plain
    /// `async fn`s or hand-rolled named futures with their own `Drop`-time
    /// disarming. It borrows `self`, so callers must hold it somewhere that is
    /// dropped before the doorbell — an `.await` in an `async` body does this
    /// naturally, whereas a hand-written `poll` needs the future stored in the
    /// same pinned struct that owns (or outlives) the doorbell.
