N.B. this crate requires nightly, as it makes use of FnBox

thunk
: Generic lazy evaluation for Rust
The thunk
crate provides primitives for lazy evaluation in Rust.
At present, it provides three thunk types and a trait which encapsulates lazily
evaluated types, Lazy
. The thunk types are as follows:
unsync::Thunk
: non-Send
, non-Sync
thunks.sync::Thunk
:Send + Sync
thunks which use atomic data internally. This is slower thanunsync::Thunk
, butsync::Thunk
is thread-safe.strict::Thunk
:Send + Sync
, paradoxically strict thunks.strict::Thunk
doesn't actually defer anything, and is provided to make it simpler to write code which is generic over strictness.
