♐ rt_ref

Ref types with internal mutability that implement Send and Sync.

These types are shared by rt_map and rt_vec.

Usage

Add the following to Cargo.toml:

rt_ref = "0.3.0" # or
rt_ref = { version = "0.3.0", features = ["unsafe_debug"] }

In code:

use rt_ref::{Cell, Ref, RefMut};

let a = 1;

// Insert a value into a collection, wrapped with `Cell`.
let mut v = Vec::new();
v.push(Cell::new(a));

let v = v; // v is now compile-time immutable.
let a = v.get(0).map(|cell| RefMut::new(cell.borrow_mut()));
a.map(|mut a| {
    *a += 2;
});

let a = v.get(0).map(|cell| Ref::new(cell.borrow()));
assert_eq!(Some(3), a.map(|a| *a));

Features

"unsafe_debug":

The borrowed reference will use the inner type's Debug implementation when formatted.

use rt_ref::{Cell, Ref, RefMut};

let mut v = Vec::new();
v.push(Cell::new("a"));

#[cfg(not(feature = "unsafe_debug"))]
assert_eq!(
    r#"[Cell { flag: 0, inner: UnsafeCell { .. } }]"#,
    format!("{v:?}")
);
#[cfg(feature = "unsafe_debug")]
assert_eq!(r#"[Cell { flag: 0, inner: "a" }]"#, format!("{v:?}"));
