inline-array 0.1.15

#![allow(unsafe_code)]

//! [`InlineArray`] is a stack-inlinable array of bytes that is intended for situations where many bytes
//! are being shared in database-like scenarios, where optimizing for space usage is extremely
//! important.
//!
//! `InlineArray` uses 8 bytes on the stack. It will inline arrays of up to 7 bytes. If the bytes
//! are longer than that, it will store them in an optimized reference-count-backed structure of
//! two different variants. For arrays up to length 255, the data is stored with an `AtomicU8`
//! reference counter and `u8` length field, for only two bytes of overhead. For values larger
//! than that, they are stored with an `AtomicU16` reference counter and a 48-bit length field.
//! If the maximum counter is reached for either variant, the bytes are copied into a new
//! `InlineArray` with a fresh reference count of 1. This is made with the assumption that most
//! reference counts will be far lower than 2^16 and only rarely surpassing 255 in the small case.
//!
//! The inline and both types of shared instances of `InlineArray` guarantee that the stored array is
//! always aligned to 8-byte boundaries, regardless of if it is inline on the stack or
//! shared on the heap. This is advantageous for using in combination with certain
//! zero-copy serialization techniques that require alignment guarantees.
//!
//! Byte arrays that require more than 48 bits to store their length (256 terabytes) are not supported.
//!
//! [`InlineArray::make_mut`] (inspired by [`std::sync::Arc::make_mut`]) can be used for getting a mutable
//! reference to the bytes in this structure. If the shared reference counter is higher than  1, this acts
//! like a [`std::borrow::Cow`] and will make self into a private copy that is safe for modification.
//!
//! # Features
//!
//! * `serde` implements `serde::Serialize` and `serde::Deserialize` for `InlineArray` (disabled by default)
//!
//! # Examples
//!
//! ```
//! use inline_array::InlineArray;
//!
//! let ia = InlineArray::from(b"yo!");
//!
//! // then use it more or less like you would an Arc<[u8]>
//! ```

    ///
    /// * Must only be used with a `NonZeroU64` that was produced from [`InlineArray::into_raw`]
    /// * When an [`InlineArray`] drops, it decrements a reference count (if its size is over the inline threshold)
    ///   and when that reference count reaches 0, the backing memory that this points to is
    ///   deallocated.
    /// * As the reference count is small, when the max reference count is reached, a new
    ///   allocation is created with a new reference count. This means that you can't expect
    ///   to have as many [`InlineArray`] objects created from the same arbitrary `NonZeroU64` as calls to
    ///   clone on the initial object would intuitively (but mistakenly) allow.
    /// * To be safe in light of the above two points, treat calls to [`InlineArray::from_raw`] as
    ///   consuming, owned semantics for corresponding previous calls to a `into_raw`. If you try
    ///   to be tricky with multiple calls to `from_raw` for a particular `NonZeroU64`, you must be
    ///   certain that drops are not causing your backing allocation to be deallocated and leading
    ///   to a use after free, which may be harder to reason about than you expect at first glance.
    ///   Headaches around use after frees are likely to follow if you don't treat a `NonZeroU64` created by a
    ///   particular call to `into_raw` as a unique pointer that should be paired with at most one
    ///   call to `from_raw`, similar to [`std::sync::Arc::from_raw`] but actually harder to reason
    ///   about due to the smaller reference counts causing new allocations when they reach their
    ///   max count.
