Crate contiguous_mem

contiguous_mem streamlines storage and management of data stored in contiguous blocks of memory.

Implementations

Primary interface of the crate is the ContiguousMemoryStorage structure which is re-exported under following type aliases with specified implementation details flag:

• ContiguousMemory
• SyncContiguousMemory
• UnsafeContiguousMemory

See individual items for usage examples, as well as project examples directory.

Features

• no_std - enables no_std dependencies for atomics, mutexes and rwlocks
• debug - enables derive(Debug) on structures unrelated to error handling
• ptr_metadata <nightly> - allows casting references into dyn Trait
• error_in_core <nightly> - enables support for core::error::Error in no_std environment

Re-exports

• pub use refs::CERef;
• pub use refs::ContiguousEntryRef;
• pub use refs::SCERef;
• pub use refs::SyncContiguousEntryRef;

Modules

• error
  Errors produced by the crate.
• refs
  Returned reference types and read/write guards.

Structs

• ByteRange
  Represents a range of bytes in AllocationTracker and ContiguousMemoryStorage.
• ContiguousMemoryStorage
  A memory container for efficient allocation and storage of contiguous data.
• ImplConcurrent
  Thread-safe implementation utilizing mutexes and locks to prevent data races.
• ImplDefault
  Implementation that’s not thread-safe but performs faster as it avoids mutexes and locks.
• ImplUnsafe
  Implementation which provides direct (unsafe) access to stored entries.

Functions

• static_metadataptr_metadata
  Returns Pointee metadata for provided pair of struct S and some unsized type (e.g. a trait) T.

Type Aliases

• ContiguousMemory
  Alias for ContiguousMemoryStorage that uses default implementation.
• SyncContiguousMemory
  Alias for ContiguousMemoryStorage that uses concurrent implementation.
• UnsafeContiguousMemory
  Alias for ContiguousMemoryStorage that uses unsafe implementation.
