-# `spin_loop_hint`
-
-The tracking issue for this feature is: [#41196]
-
-[#41196]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/41196
-
-------------------------
-
-Many programs have spin loops like the following:
-
-```rust,no_run
-use std::sync::atomic::{AtomicBool,Ordering};
-
-fn spin_loop(value: &AtomicBool) {
-    loop {
-        if value.load(Ordering::Acquire) {
-             break;
-        }
-    }
-}
-```
-
-These programs can be improved in performance like so:
-
-```rust,no_run
-#![feature(spin_loop_hint)]
-use std::sync::atomic;
-use std::sync::atomic::{AtomicBool,Ordering};
-
-fn spin_loop(value: &AtomicBool) {
-    loop {
-        if value.load(Ordering::Acquire) {
-             break;
-        }
-        atomic::spin_loop_hint();
-    }
-}
-```
-
-Further improvements could combine `spin_loop_hint` with
-exponential backoff or `std::thread::yield_now`.
