C#

[AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Method | AttributeTargets.Constructor | AttributeTargets.Property)]
internal class JitIntrinsicAttribute : Attribute
{

}

Edit:

I know what the attribute is for, it's more about the empty method. How does it work that even though it is empty, it still sets that attribute. Is it just the name of the method and when the compiler encounters it, it sets the attribute?

What I have tried:

I have only used the attributes in square brackets sporadically, but I don't really understand them.

Solution 1

The ~~JitIntrinsic~~ attribute is a legacy version of the Intrinsic attribute. My limited understanding of it is that it's used to signal that a method/property/field can be optimized by the JIT.
