//! # CUDA context management
//!
//! Most CUDA functions require a context. A CUDA context is analogous to a CPU process - it's
//! an isolated container for all runtime state, including configuration settings and the
//! device/unified/page-locked memory allocations. Each context has a separate memory space, and
//! pointers from one context do not work in another. Each context is associated with a single
//! device. Although it is possible to have multiple contexts associated with a single device, this
//! is strongly discouraged as it can cause a significant loss of performance.
//!
//! CUDA keeps a thread-local stack of contexts which the programmer can push to or pop from.
//! The top context in that stack is known as the "current" context and it is used in most CUDA
//! API calls. One context can be safely made current in multiple CPU threads.
//!
//! # Safety
//!
//! The CUDA context management API does not fit easily into Rust's safety guarantees.
//!
//! The thread-local stack (as well as the fact that any context can be on the stack for any number
//! of threads) means there is no clear owner for a CUDA context, but it still has to be cleaned up.
//! Also, the fact that a context can be current to multiple threads at once means that there can be
//! multiple implicit references to a context which are not controlled by Rust.
//!
//! RustaCUDA handles ownership by providing an owning [`Context`](struct.Context.html) struct and
//! a non-owning [`UnownedContext`](struct.UnownedContext.html). When the `Context` is dropped, the
//! backing context is destroyed. The context could be current on other threads, though. In this
//! case, the context is still destroyed, and attempts to access the context on other threads will
//! fail with an error. This is (mostly) safe, if a bit inconvenient. It's only mostly safe because
//! other threads could be accessing that context while the destructor is running on this thread,
//! which could result in undefined behavior.
//!
//! In short, Rust's thread-safety guarantees cannot fully protect use of the context management
//! functions. The programmer must ensure that no other OS threads are using the `Context` when it
//! is dropped.
//!
//! # Examples
//!
//! For most commmon uses (one device, one OS thread) it should suffice to create a single context:
//!
//! ```
//! use rustacuda::device::Device;
//! use rustacuda::context::{Context, ContextFlags};
//! # use std::error::Error;
//! # fn main () -> Result<(), Box<dyn Error>> {
//!
//! rustacuda::init(rustacuda::CudaFlags::empty())?;
//! let device = Device::get_device(0)?;
//! let context = Context::create_and_push(ContextFlags::MAP_HOST | ContextFlags::SCHED_AUTO, device)?;
//! // call RustaCUDA functions which use the context
//!
//! // The context will be destroyed when dropped or it falls out of scope.
//! drop(context);
//! # Ok(())
//! # }
//! ```
//!
//! If you have multiple OS threads that each submit work to the same device, you can get a handle
//! to the single context and pass it to each thread.
//!
//! ```
//! # use rustacuda::context::{Context, ContextFlags, CurrentContext};
//! # use rustacuda::device::Device;
//! # use std::error::Error;
//! # fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn Error>> {
//! # rustacuda::init(rustacuda::CudaFlags::empty())?;
//! # let device = Device::get_device(0)?;
//! // As before
//! let context =
//!     Context::create_and_push(ContextFlags::MAP_HOST | ContextFlags::SCHED_AUTO, device)?;
//! let mut join_handles = vec![];
//!
//! for _ in 0..4 {
//!     let unowned = context.get_unowned();
//!     let join_handle = std::thread::spawn(move || {
//!         CurrentContext::set_current(&unowned).unwrap();
//!         // Call RustaCUDA functions which use the context
//!     });
//!     join_handles.push(join_handle);
//! }
//! // We must ensure that the other threads are not using the context when it's destroyed.
//! for handle in join_handles {
//!     handle.join().unwrap();
//! }
//! // Now it's safe to drop the context.
//! drop(context);
//! # Ok(())
//! # }
//! ```
//!
//! If you have multiple devices, each device needs its own context.
//!
//! ```
//! # use rustacuda::device::Device;
//! # use rustacuda::context::{Context, ContextStack, ContextFlags, CurrentContext};
//! # use std::error::Error;
//! #
//! # fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn Error>> {
//! # rustacuda::init(rustacuda::CudaFlags::empty())?;
//! // Create and pop contexts for each device
//! let mut contexts = vec![];
//! for device in Device::devices()? {
//!     let device = device?;
//!     let ctx =
//!         Context::create_and_push(ContextFlags::MAP_HOST | ContextFlags::SCHED_AUTO, device)?;
//!     ContextStack::pop()?;
//!     contexts.push(ctx);
//! }
//! CurrentContext::set_current(&contexts[0])?;
//!
//! // Call RustaCUDA functions which will use the context
//!
//! # Ok(())
//! # }
