algocline-app 0.26.0

//! Advisory cross-process file locks.
//!
//! Wraps `fs4::fs_std::FileExt::lock_exclusive` so callers can serialize
//! load → modify → save sequences on a shared file without inlining the
//! open/lock/drop boilerplate.
//!
//! Two call sites use this today:
//! - `manifest::with_manifest_lock` — guards `~/.algocline/installed.json`
//!   against concurrent `pkg_install` writes.
//! - `pkg::install::with_project_files_lock` — guards the
//!   `alc.toml` / `alc.lock` load→modify→save in
//!   `update_project_files_for_install` against concurrent installs targeting
//!   the same project root.
//!
//! Locks are advisory `flock(2)` on Unix and `LockFileEx` on Windows (via
//! fs4). They serialize only processes that also call this function —
//! external editors writing `installed.json` by hand are not blocked.

/// Run `f` while holding an exclusive advisory lock on `lock_path`.

/// lock is released when the underlying `File` is dropped, which happens
/// on every exit from this function — including panic in `f`, since stack
/// unwinding runs the `File` destructor and that destructor calls
/// `close(2)`, which releases the advisory `flock`.
