Module heaparray::base

Module for simple heap arrays. ThinPtrArray and AtomicPtrArray are a single word on the stack, whereas FatPtrArray is a 2-word struct.

Modules

iter	Iterators for the arrays in heaparray::base

Structs

AtomicPtrArray	Heap-allocated array, with array size stored alongside the memory block itself. Doesn't implement Sync because CAS operations on the pointer create a race condition between the time the pointer is read and dereferenced. This can be fixed using reference counting.
FatPtrArray	Heap-allocated array, with array size stored with the pointer to the memory.
ThinPtrArray	Heap-allocated array, with array size stored alongside the memory block itself.

Traits

ArrayRef	A reference to an array, whose clone points to the same data.
AtomicArrayRef	Atomically modified array reference. Guarrantees that all operations on the array reference are atomic (i.e. all changes to the internal array pointer). Additionally, guarrantees that all reads to a reference of this pointer use atomic loads.
BaseArrayRef	A basic reference to a heap-allocated array. Should be paired with exactly one of either heaparray::UnsafeArrayRef or heaparray::ArrayRef.
Container	Trait for a simple container.
CopyMap	Trait for a container indexed by a value that implements Copy and Eq.
DefaultLabelledArray	Trait for a labelled array with a default value.
LabelledArray	Array with an optional label struct stored next to the data.
LabelledArrayMut	Array with optional label struct stored next to the data that can be mutated
LabelledArrayRefMut	Array with optional label struct stored next to the data that can be conditionally mutated.
MakeArray	An array of arbitrary (sized) values that can be safely initialized.
SliceArray	Array that returns slices into its contents
SliceArrayRef	Array reference that can return a slice into its contents.
