# RTIC hello RTIC, Real-Time Interrupt-driven Concurrency, is a framework for building evented, time sensitive applications. ✅ Open the `src/bin/rtic-hello.rs` file. RTIC applications are written in RTIC's Domain Specific Language (DSL). The DSL extends Rust syntax with custom attributes like `#[init]` and `#[idle]`. RTIC makes a clearer distinction between the application's initialization phase, the `#[init]` function, and the application's main loop or main logic, the `#[idle]` function. The initialization phase runs with interrupts disabled and interrupts are re-enabled before the `idle` function is executed. `rtic::app` is a procedural macro that generates extra Rust code, in addition to the user's functions. The fully expanded version of the macro can be found in the file `target/rtic-expansion.rs`. This file will contain the expansion of the procedural macro for the last compiled RTIC application. ✅ Build the `rtic-hello` example and look at the generated `rtic-expansion.rs` file. You can use `rustfmt` on `target/rtic-expansion.rs` to make the generated code easier to read. Among other things, the file should contain the following lines. Note that interrupts are disabled during the execution of the `init` function: ```rust unsafe extern "C" fn main() -> ! { rtic::export::interrupt::disable(); let mut core: rtic::export::Peripherals = rtic::export::Peripherals::steal().into(); #[inline(never)] fn __rtic_init_resources(f: F) where F: FnOnce(), { f(); } __rtic_init_resources(|| { let (shared_resources, local_resources, mut monotonics) = init(init::Context::new(core.into())); rtic::export::interrupt::enable(); }); idle(idle::Context::new(&rtic::export::Priority::new(0))) } ```
