Crate atomicell 

This crate provides AtomicCell type - a multi-threaded version of RefCell from standard library.

AtomicCell uses atomics to track borrows and is able to guarantee absence of mutable aliasing when multiple threads try to borrow concurrently.

Additionally it exports borrowing primitives AtomicBorrow and AtomicBorrowMut in borrow module. These types can be used to build other abstractions with atomic borrowing capabilities.

Modules

borrow

This module contains types that can be used to implement atomic borrowing.

Structs

AtomicCell

A mutable memory location with dynamically checked borrow rules This type behaves mostly like core::cell::RefCell. The main difference is that this type uses atomic operations for borrowing. Thus allowing to use it in multi-threaded environment.

Ref

Wrapper for a borrowed AtomicCell that will released lock on drop.

RefMut

Wrapper for mutably borrowed AtomicCell that will released lock on drop.
