//
//! *Extend the lifetime of a reference. Safely.*
//!
//! Requires Rust 1.26.0 or later.
//!
//! This crate provides a cell-like type [`Cryo`] that is similar to `RefCell`
//! except that it constrains the lifetime of its borrowed value
//! through a runtime check mechanism, erasing the compile-time lifetime
//! information. The lock guard [`CryoRef`] created from `Cryo` is
//! `'static` and therefore can be used in various situations that require
//! `'static` types, including:
//!
//!  - Store [`CryoRef`] temporarily in a `std::any::Any`-compatible container.
//!  - Capture a reference to create a [Objective-C block](https://crates.io/crates/block).
//!
//! This works by, when a `Cryo` is dropped, blocking the current thread until
//! all references to the contained value are dropped so that none of them can
//! outlive the cell.
//!
//! The constructor of `Cryo` is marked as `unsafe` because it's easy to
//! break various assumptions essential to memory safety if `Cryo` values are
//! not handled properly. Utility functions [`with_cryo`] and
//! [`with_cryo_mut`] ensure safety by providing access to `Cryo` values in a
//! controlled way.
//!
//! # Examples
//!
//! [`with_cryo`] and [`Cryo`]:
//!
//! ```
//! # use cryo::*;
//! use std::thread::spawn;
//!
//! let cell: usize = 42;
//!
//! with_cryo(&cell, |cryo: &Cryo<usize>| {
//!     // Borrow `cryo` and move it into a `'static` closure.
//!     let borrow: CryoRef<usize> = cryo.borrow();
//!     spawn(move || { assert_eq!(*borrow, 42); });
//!
//!     // Compile-time lifetime works as well.
//!     assert_eq!(*cryo.get(), 42);
//!
//!     // When `cryo` is dropped, it will block until there are no other
//!     // references to `cryo`. In this case, `with_cryo` will not return
//!     // until the thread we just spawned completes execution.
//! });
//! ```
//!
//! [`with_cryo_mut`] and [`CryoMut`]:
//!
//! ```
//! # use cryo::*;
//! # use std::thread::spawn;
//! # let mut cell: usize = 0;
//! with_cryo_mut(&mut cell, |cryo_mut: &CryoMut<usize>| {
//!     // Borrow `cryo_mut` and move it into a `'static` closure.
//!     let mut borrow: CryoMutWriteGuard<usize> = cryo_mut.write();
//!     spawn(move || { *borrow = 1; });
//!
//!     // When `cryo_mut` is dropped, it will block until there are no other
//!     // references to `cryo_mut`.  In this case, `with_cryo_mut` will not
//!     // return until the thread we just spawned completes execution.
//! });
//! assert_eq!(cell, 1);
//! ```
//!
//! **Don't** do this:
//!
//! ```no_run
//! # use cryo::*;
//! # let cell = 0usize;
//! // The following statement will deadlock because it attempts to drop
//! // `Cryo` while a `CryoRef` is still referencing it
//! let borrow = with_cryo(&cell, |cryo| cryo.borrow());
//! ```
//!
//! # Caveats
//!
//! - While it's capable of extending the effective lifetime of a reference,
//!   it does not apply to nested references. For example, when
//!   `&'a NonStaticType<'b>` is supplied to the `Cryo`'s constructor, the
//!   borrowed type is `CryoRef<NonStaticType<'b>>`, which is still partially
//!   bound to the original lifetime.
//!
//! # Details
//!
//! ## Feature flags
//!
//!  - `parking_lot` — Specifies to use `parking_lot` instead of `std::sync`.
//!
//! ## Overhead
//!
//! `Cryo<T>` incurs moderate overhead due to the uses of `Mutex` and
//! `Condvar`. This can be alleviated somewhat by using the `parking_lot`
//! feature flag.
//!
//! ## Nomenclature
//!
//! From [cryopreservation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryopreservation).
//!
