<p>Implement a read/write <em>memory barrier</em>. A memory barrier instructs the compiler to not cache any memory data in registers beyond the barrier. This can sometimes be more effective than blocking certain optimizations by declaring some object with a <code>volatile</code> qualifier.</p>

<p>Execute a <em>no operation</em> (NOP) CPU instruction. This should not be used to implement delays, better use the functions from <<a class="el" href="delay__basic_8h.html">util/delay_basic.h</a>> or <<a class="el" href="delay_8h.html">util/delay.h</a>> for this. For debugging purposes, a NOP can be useful to have an instruction that is guaranteed to be not optimized away by the compiler, so it can always become a breakpoint in the debugger. </p>
