Crate parasol_concurrency

Contains primitives for synchronizing and safely managing concurrency.

Structs

AtomicRefCell

Similar to std::cell::RefCell, but works in a concurrent setting.

Ref

An immutable borrow returned by AtomicRefCell.

RefMut

A mutable borrow returned by AtomicRefCell.

Spinlock

The use of Spinlocks in user processes is a contentious topic. However, they allow for some unconventional patterns, such as permanantly locking objects and dropping locked locks.

SpinlockHandle

Semantically similar to std::sync::MutexGuard. Allows you to mutably access the underlying T and unlocks the parent lock when dropped.
