Crate atomic_once_cell

atomic_once_cell provides two new types, AtomicOnceCell and AtomicLazy, which are thread-safe and mostly lock-free drop-in replacements of [core::lazy::OnceCell] and [core::lazy::Lazy] suitable for use in #[no_std] environments.

Blocking

Because dereferencing AtomicLazy can’t fail, it can’t be lock-free (if you know a way, please tell me).

Both types can be used in a non-blocking way, but there are some blocking calls that should not be used from interrupt handlers or other contexts where blocking will lead to a deadlock. Blocking is based on crossbeam::utils::Backoff, and will be reduced to a spinlock in #[no_std] environments.

Examples

AtomicOnceCell

use atomic_once_cell::AtomicOnceCell;

static CELL: AtomicOnceCell<String> = AtomicOnceCell::new();

fn main() {
    CELL.set("Hello, World!".to_owned()).unwrap();

    assert_eq!(*CELL.get().unwrap(), "Hello, World!");
}

AtomicLazy

use atomic_once_cell::AtomicLazy;

static LAZY: AtomicLazy<String> = AtomicLazy::new(|| "Hello, World!".to_owned());

fn main() {
    assert_eq!(*LAZY, "Hello, World!");
}

Structs

• AtomicLazy
  A thread-safe value which is initialized on the first access.
• AtomicOnceCell
  A thread-safe cell which can be written to only once.
