Crate extend_mut

This crate provides a safe way to extend the lifetime of a exclusive reference.

extend_mut allows for safe extension of the lifetime of a exclusive reference with a blocking closure.

extend_mut_async is similar to extend_mut, but it is async and requires a linear type be safe - but Rust does not have linear types yet, so it is unsafe.

Structs

• ExtendMutFuture
  Future returned by returned by extend_mut_async. Consult it’s documentation for more information and safety requirements.

Functions

• extend_mut
  Extends the lifetime of a mutable reference. Note that f must return the same reference that was passed to it, otherwise it will abort the process.
• extend_mut_async^⚠
  Async version of extend_mut. You should not drop the future returned by extend_mut_async until it yields Poll::Ready - if you do, it will abort the process. This function is not cancel-safe.
