lazy-mut

Overview

The LazyMut library provides a synchronization primitive for deferred initialization with a single synchronization step. It is especially useful for scenarios where initialization logic is expensive or should be deferred until first use. The library supports multiple locking backends, including std, parking_lot, and spin (depending on feature flags). This library is #![no_std] compatible, making it suitable for embedded systems and environments where the standard library is unavailable.

Features

• thread-safe lazy-initialization structure that wraps an initialization function and synchronizes access to the inner data.
• RAII Guards: Provides scoped locks via LazyMutGuard for safe and automatic unlocking.
• Poisoning Support: Detects panics during initialization and ensures subsequent accesses are safe, marking the instance as poisoned.
• Configurable Locking: Uses RawMutex from different synchronization backends (e.g., std, parking_lot, or spin) depending on enabled features.

static VICTOR: LazyMut<Vec<u8>> = LazyMut::new(|| vec![1, 2, 3]);

fn main() {
    VICTOR.get_mut().push(10);
    VICTOR.try_get_mut().unwrap().push(10);
    
    assert_eq!(*VICTOR.get_mut(), [1, 2, 3, 10 ,10])
