Use ``__attribute__((no_sanitize_thread))`` on a function declaration
to specify that checks for data races on plain (non-atomic) memory accesses
should not be inserted by ThreadSanitizer.

.. _langext-memory_sanitizer:
One may use the function attribute
:ref:`no_sanitize_thread <langext-thread_sanitizer>`
to disable instrumentation of plain (non-atomic) loads/stores in a particular function.
-ThreadSanitizer may still instrument such functions to avoid false positives.
+ThreadSanitizer still instruments such functions to avoid false positives and

This attribute may not be
supported by other compilers, so we suggest to use it together with
``__has_feature(thread_sanitizer)``.
ThreadSanitizer supports ``src`` and ``fun`` entity types in
:doc:`SanitizerSpecialCaseList`, that can be used to suppress data race reports in
-the specified source files or functions.
