Struct corundum::sync::VWeak [−][src]
Expand description
VWeak
is a version of Parc
that holds a non-owning thread-safe
reference to the managed allocation in the volatile heap. The allocation is
accessed by calling upgrade
on the VWeak
pointer, which returns an
Option
<
Parc
<T>>
.
Since a VWeak
reference does not count towards ownership, it will not
prevent the value stored in the allocation from being dropped, and VWeak
itself makes no guarantees about the value still being present. Thus it may
return None
when upgrade
d. Note however that a VWeak
reference,
unlike Weak
, does NOT prevent the allocation itself (the backing
store) from being deallocated.
A VWeak
pointer is useful for keeping a temporary thread-safe reference to
the persistent allocation managed by Parc
without preventing its inner
value from being dropped.
The typical way to obtain a VWeak
pointer is to call Parc::demote
.
Implementations
Attempts to promote the VWeak
pointer to an Parc
, delaying
dropping of the inner value if successful.
Returns None
if the inner value has since been dropped.
Examples
use corundum::default::*; use std::mem::drop; type P = BuddyAlloc; let obj = P::open::<Root>("foo.pool", O_CF).unwrap(); struct Root(PRefCell<Option<Parc<i32>>>); impl RootObj<P> for Root { fn init(j: &Journal) -> Self { Root(PRefCell::new(Some(Parc::new(10, j)))) } } let vweak_obj = obj.0.borrow().as_ref().unwrap().demote(); P::transaction(|j| { let strong_obj = vweak_obj.promote(j); assert!(strong_obj.is_some()); // Destroy all strong pointers. drop(strong_obj); *obj.0.borrow_mut(j) = None; // RootCell does not drop, so make it None assert!(vweak_obj.promote(j).is_none()); }).unwrap();
