Crate crossbeam_arccell

This library provides a Software Transactional Memory structure that can be used for sharing data among multiple threads in a way that is safe and can be loaded quickly.

For more information, look at the documentation for the Stm struct.

Example

use crossbeam_arccell::ArcCell;

// Create a new ArcCell with a Vec of numbers
let arc = ArcCell::new(vec![1,2,3,4]);

// Read from the ArcCell
{
    let data = arc.load();
    println!("Current ArcCell value: {:?}", data);
}

// Update the ArcCell pointer to add a new number
arc.update(|old| {
    let mut new = old.clone();
    new.push(5);
    new
});

// Read the new data
{
    let data = arc.load();
    println!("Current ArcCell: {:?}", data);
}

// Set the ArcCell pointer
let data = vec![9,8,7,6];
arc.set(data);

// Read the new data, again
{
    let data = arc.load();
    println!("Current ArcCell: {:?}", data);
}
