Crate lock_hierarchy

This crate offers debug assertions for violations of lock hierarchies. No runtime overhead or protection occurs for release builds.

Each lock is assigned a level. Locks with higher levels must be acquired before locks with lower levels. Both RwLock and Mutex use the same hierarchy.

Structs

Mutex

Wrapper around a std::sync::Mutex which uses a thread local variable in order to check for lock hierarchy violations in debug builds.

MutexGuard

RwLock

Wrapper around a std::sync::RwLock which uses a thread local variable in order to check for lock hierarchy violations in debug builds.

RwLockReadGuard

RwLockWriteGuard
