once_cell 0.2.0

Single assignment cells and lazy static values without macros.
Documentation
/*!
# Overview

`once_cell` provides two new cell-like types, `unsync::OnceCell` and `sync::OnceCell`. `OnceCell`
might store arbitrary non-`Copy` types, can be assigned to at most once and provide direct access
to the stored contents. In a nutshell, API looks *roughly* like this:

```no-run
impl OnceCell<T> {
    fn set(&self, value: T) -> Result<(), T> { ... }
    fn get(&self) -> Option<&T> { ... }
}
```

Note that, like with `RefCell` and `Mutex`, the `set` method requires only a shared reference.
Because of the single assignment restriction `get` can return an `&T` instead of `Ref<T>`
or `MutexGuard<T>`.

# Patterns

`OnceCell` might be useful for a variety of patterns.

## Safe Initialization of global data


```
use std::{env, io};

use once_cell::sync::OnceCell;

#[derive(Debug)]
pub struct Logger {
    // ...
}
static INSTANCE: OnceCell<Logger> = OnceCell::new();

impl Logger {
    pub fn global() -> &'static Logger {
        INSTANCE.get().expect("logger is not initialized")
    }

    fn from_cli(args: env::Args) -> Result<Logger, std::io::Error> {
       // ...
#      Ok(Logger {})
    }
}

fn main() {
    let logger = Logger::from_cli(env::args()).unwrap();
    INSTANCE.set(logger).unwrap();
    // use `Logger::global()` from now on
}
```

## Lazy initialized global data

This is essentially `lazy_static!` macro, but without a macro.

```
use std::{sync::Mutex, collections::HashMap};

use once_cell::sync::OnceCell;

fn global_data() -> &'static Mutex<HashMap<i32, String>> {
    static INSTANCE: OnceCell<Mutex<HashMap<i32, String>>> = OnceCell::new();
    INSTANCE.get_or_init(|| {
        let mut m = HashMap::new();
        m.insert(13, "Spica".to_string());
        m.insert(74, "Hoyten".to_string());
        Mutex::new(m)
    })
}
```

There are also `sync::Lazy` and `unsync::Lazy` convenience types to streamline this pattern:

```
use std::{sync::Mutex, collections::HashMap};
use once_cell::sync::Lazy;

static GLOBAL_DATA: Lazy<Mutex<HashMap<i32, String>>> = Lazy::new(|| {
    let mut m = HashMap::new();
    m.insert(13, "Spica".to_string());
    m.insert(74, "Hoyten".to_string());
    Mutex::new(m)
});

fn main() {
    println!("{:?}", GLOBAL_DATA.lock().unwrap());
}
```

## General purpose lazy evaluation

Unlike `lazy_static!`, `Lazy` works with local variables.

```
use once_cell::unsync::Lazy;

fn main() {
    let ctx = vec![1, 2, 3];
    let thunk = Lazy::new(|| {
        ctx.iter().sum::<i32>()
    });
    assert_eq!(*thunk, 6);
}
```

If you need a lazy field in a struct, you probably should use `OnceCell`
directly, because that will allow you to access `self` during initialization.

```
use std::{fs, path::PathBuf};

use once_cell::unsync::OnceCell;

struct Ctx {
    config_path: PathBuf,
    config: OnceCell<String>,
}

impl Ctx {
    pub fn get_config(&self) -> Result<&str, std::io::Error> {
        let cfg = self.config.get_or_try_init(|| {
            fs::read_to_string(&self.config_path)
        })?;
        Ok(cfg.as_str())
    }
}
```

# Comparison with std

|`!Sync` types         | Access Mode            | Drawbacks                                     |
|----------------------|------------------------|-----------------------------------------------|
|`Cell<T>`             | `T`                    | works only with `Copy` types                  |
|`RefCel<T>`           | `RefMut<T>` / `Ref<T>` | may panic at runtime                          |
|`unsync::OnceCell<T>` | `&T`                   | assignable only once                          |

|`Sync` types          | Access Mode            | Drawbacks                                     |
|----------------------|------------------------|-----------------------------------------------|
|`AtomicT`             | `T`                    | works only with certain `Copy` types          |
|`Mutex<T>`            | `MutexGuard<T>`        | may deadlock at runtime, may block the thread |
|`sync::OnceCell<T>`   | `&T`                   | assignable only once, may block the thread    |

Technically, calling `get_or_init` will also cause a panic or a deadlock if it recursively calls
itself. However, because the assignment can happen only once, such cases should be more rare than
equivalents with `RefCell` and `Mutex`.

# Implementation details

Implementation is based on [`lazy_static`](https://github.com/rust-lang-nursery/lazy-static.rs/) and
[`lazy_cell`](https://github.com/indiv0/lazycell/) crates and in some sense just streamlines and
unifies the APIs of those crates.

To implement a sync flavor of `OnceCell`, this crates uses either `std::sync::Once` or
`parking_lot::Once`. This is controlled by the `parking_lot` feature, which is enabled by default.

This crate requires rust 1.31.1.

This crate uses unsafe.
