//! A reimplementation of [`std::boxed::Box`][Box] and [`std::rc::Rc`][Rc]
//! which uses a pool of reusable memory to speed up reallocation.
//!
//! # Prerequisites
//!
//! In order to initialise a type to its default value from the memory pool
//! using [`PoolBox::default()`][PoolBox::default] or
//! [`PoolRef::default()`][PoolRef::default], it needs to implement
//! [`PoolDefault`][PoolDefault].
//!
//! If you want to be able to use [`PoolRef::make_mut()`][PoolRef::make_mut], it
//! also needs to implement [`PoolClone`][PoolClone].
//!
//! For constructing values using [`PoolRef::new()`][PoolRef::new], there's no
//! requirement.
//!
//! There are implementations for [`PoolDefault`][PoolDefault] and
//! [`PoolClone`][PoolClone] for most primitive types and a good selection of
//! `std`'s data types, and you can easily provide default implementations for
//! your own types by implementing the marker trait
//! [`PoolDefaultImpl`][PoolDefaultImpl]. You can also implement your own if you
//! have data structures whose memory doesn't need to be fully intitialised at
//! construction time, which can give you a slight performance boost. (This
//! optimisation is why [`PoolDefault`][PoolDefault] and
//! [`PoolClone`][PoolClone] exist as distinct traits, otherwise
//! [`Default`][Default] and [`Clone`][Clone] would have sufficed.)
//!
//! # Usage
//!
//! You create new values by calling
//! [`PoolRef::default(pool)`][PoolRef::default] or [`PoolRef::new(pool,
//! value)`][PoolRef::new]. This will use memory from the pool if available,
//! falling back to a normal heap allocation if the pool is empty.  When the
//! last [`PoolRef`][PoolRef] referencing the value is dropped, its allocated
//! memory is returned to the pool.
//!
//! # Differences from [`Box`][Box] and [`Rc`][Rc]
//!
//! [`PoolBox`][PoolBox] is API compatible with [`Box`][Box] and [`PoolRef`][PoolRef]
//! with [`Rc`][Rc], with the following exceptions:
//!
//!   * Types handled by the pool must be [`Sized`][Sized]. This means the pool
//!     won't accept trait objects, ie. no `Pool<dyn A>`.
//!   * Constructors need a [`Pool`][Pool] argument, so they're necessarily
//!     different: instead of [`Rc::new(value)`][Rc::new], you have
//!     [`PoolRef::default(pool)`][PoolRef::default] to construct a default
//!     value and [`PoolRef::new(pool, value)`][PoolRef::new] as the equivalent
//!     of [`Rc::new(value)`][Rc::new]. Likewise for [`PoolBox`][PoolBox].
//!   * [`PoolBox`][PoolBox] and [`PoolRef`][PoolRef] do not implement
//!     [`Default`][Default], because you need a
//!     [`Pool`][Pool] argument to construct an instance. Use
//!     [`PoolRef::default(pool)`][PoolRef::default].
//!   * There's currently no equivalent to [`Weak`][Weak] for [`PoolRef`][PoolRef].
//!   * Experimental APIs are not implemented.
//!
//! # Thread Safety
//!
//! [`Pool`][Pool] is strictly thread local, ie. it does not
//! implement [`Sync`][Sync] and it will fail in appalling ways if you still
//! somehow manage to access it from two different threads. There is no
//! equivalent of [`Arc`][Arc] because adding thread safety to the pool turns
//! out to degrade performance sufficiently that the pool is no longer providing
//! a significant performance benefit even with the slowest system allocators
//! you're likely to come across in the wild (by which I mean Windows).
//!
//! # Performance
//!
//! You can expect [`Pool`][Pool] to always outperform the system allocator,
//! though the performance gains will vary between platforms. Preliminary
//! benchmarks show it's approximately twice as fast on Linux, and 5-6 times as
//! fast on Windows. Custom allocators like jemalloc may yield even less
//! benefit, but it's very unlikely you'll find an allocator that can outperform
//! the pool.
//!
//! You can expect bigger performance gains from data types with beneficial
//! [`PoolDefault`][PoolDefault] and [`PoolClone`][PoolClone] implementations,
//! "beneficial" in this case meaning cases where you can leave most of the
//! allocated memory uninitialised. [`sized_chunks::Chunk`][Chunk], which
//! allocates 528 bytes on 64-bit platforms but only needs to initialise 16
//! of them for [`PoolDefault`][PoolDefault], would be a good example of this.

//! # Example
//!
//! ```rust
//! # use refpool::{Pool, PoolRef};
//! // Create a pool of `usize` with a max size of 1 (for argument's sake).
//! let mut pool: Pool<usize> = Pool::new(1);
//!
//! {
//!     // Create a reference handle to a usize initialised to 0.
//!     // The pool starts out empty, so this triggers a normal heap alloc.
//!     let value_ref = PoolRef::default(&mut pool);
//!     assert_eq!(0, *value_ref); // You can deref it just like `Rc`.
//! } // `value_ref` is dropped here, and its heap memory goes on the pool.
//!
//! // Check that we do indeed have one allocation in the pool now.
//! assert_eq!(1, pool.get_pool_size());
//!
//! // Create another reference and initialise it to 31337, a good round number.
//! // This will reuse `value_ref`'s memory.
//! let another_value_ref = PoolRef::new(&mut pool, 31337);
//! assert_eq!(31337, *another_value_ref);
//!
//! // Check that the pool is again empty after we reused the previous memory.
//! assert_eq!(0, pool.get_pool_size());
//! ```
//!
//! # Feature Flags
//!
//! There's one feature flag available, `default_impl`, which requires a nightly
//! rustc because it leans on the `min_specialization` language feature, which
//! removes the `PoolDefaultImpl` trait and instead provides a `default`
//! overridable implementation for `PoolClone` and `PoolDefault` for any type
//! that implements `Clone` and `Default`. `PoolDefaultImpl` is an unfortunate
//! hack to get around the current absence of specialisation in stable rustc.
