# piscina
A simple generic pool that supports both sync and async.
[](https://crates.io/crates/piscina)
[](https://docs.rs/piscina/latest/piscina/)
Two types of pools are provided:
- [`Pool`]: A simple pool that supports both sync and async.
- [`PriorityPool`]: A pool of items with priorities and supports both sync and async.
This crate internally utilizes `futures_channel::oneshot` and is thus lock-free.
## Features
```toml
default = []
```
The features below are related to logging errors, which should be unreachable.
- `log`: Enables logging using the `log` crate.
- `tracing`: Enables logging using the `tracing` crate.
## Examples
Non-async [`Pool`] example:
```rust
use piscina::Pool;
let mut pool = Pool::new();
pool.put(1);
pool.put(2);
let item1 = pool.try_get();
assert!(item1.is_some());
let item2 = pool.blocking_get();
let none = pool.try_get();
assert!(none.is_none());
drop(item1); // Return the item to the pool by dropping it
let item3 = pool.try_get();
assert!(item3.is_some());
```
Async [`Pool`] example:
```rust
use piscina::Pool;
futures::executor::block_on(async {
let mut pool = Pool::new();
pool.put(1);
pool.put(2);
let item1 = pool.get().await;
let item2 = pool.get().await;
let none = pool.try_get();
assert!(none.is_none());
drop(item1); // Return the item to the pool by dropping it
let item3 = pool.get().await;
});
```
Non-async [`PriorityPool`] example:
```rust
use piscina::PriorityPool;
let mut pool = PriorityPool::new();
pool.put("hello", 1);
pool.put("world", 2); // Larger value means higher priority.
// Get the highest priority item.
let item = pool.try_get();
assert!(item.is_some());
let item = item.unwrap();
assert_eq!(item.item(), &"world");
let another_item = pool.try_get();
assert!(another_item.is_some());
let another_item = another_item.unwrap();
assert_eq!(another_item.item(), &"hello");
// The pool is now empty.
let empty_item = pool.try_get();
assert!(empty_item.is_none());
drop(another_item); // Return the item back to the pool by dropping it.
let hello = pool.try_get();
assert!(hello.is_some());
assert_eq!(hello.unwrap().item(), &"hello");
```
Async [`PriorityPool`] example:
```rust
use piscina::PriorityPool;
let mut pool = PriorityPool::new();
pool.put("hello", 1);
pool.put("world", 2); // Larger value means higher priority.
futures::executor::block_on(async {
// Get the highest priority item.
let world = pool.get().await;
assert_eq!(world.item(), &"world");
let hello = pool.get().await;
assert_eq!(hello.item(), &"hello");
// The pool is now empty.
drop(hello); // Return the item back to the pool by dropping it.
let item = pool.get().await;
assert_eq!(item.item(), &"hello");
});
```
## Safety
Instead of using an `Option`, this crate uses unsafe code `ManuallyDrop` in `PooledItem`.
And the only use of unsafe code `ManuallyDrop::take()` occurs when `PooledItem` is dropped.
