Executes the
nop
instructions, which performs no operation (i.e. does nothing).This operation is useful to work around the LLVM bug that endless loops are illegally optimized away (see rust-lang/rust#28728). By invoking this instruction (which is marked as volatile) in the endless loop, the compiler should no longer optimize it away.
