Struct lockedbox::LockedBox

pub struct LockedBox<T>(/* private fields */);

A [Box]-like type that uses mlock to prevent paging the allocated memory to disk.

Note: This type allocates in multiples of the operating system’s page size. This could lead to more memory usage than expected if many instances of this type are used.

Implementations

impl<T> LockedBox<T>

pub fn new(contained: T) -> Self

Creates a new locked box with contained in a newly allocated, mlock-protected region of memory.

Panics

This function panics If size_of::<T>() >= usize::MAX - 4 * PAGE_SIZE.

pub const fn ptr(boxed: &LockedBox<T>) -> *mut T

Returns the pointer to the underlying data.

pub fn unbox(boxed: LockedBox<T>) -> T

Extracts the contained value from boxed.
