Struct persistent_buff::PersistentBuff

pub struct PersistentBuff { /* private fields */ }

Strut to request the persistent buff and manage it safely. When acquiring the buffer you need to validate/init it to a known sate.

Implementations

impl PersistentBuff

pub fn take_managed() -> Option<Self>

Take a managed version fo the persistent buff. Allow to check if the buffer is valid or not before usage. Note that vs the Self::take function, you will lose some bytes for storage of the marker.

pub unsafe fn steal_managed() -> Self

Steal a managed version for the persistent buff without check. See Self::take_managed

Safety

Calling this function could allow to have two mutable reference to the same buffer. Make sure to only have one reference at a time to avoid multiple mutable reference.

pub fn take() -> Option<&'static mut [u8]>

Get the raw persistent slice.

pub unsafe fn steal() -> &'static mut [u8]

Steal the raw persistent slice. Ignore if it was already taken or not.

Safety

Calling this function could allow to have two mutable reference to the same buffer. Make sure to only have one reference at a time to avoid multiple mutable reference.

pub fn validate<F>(&mut self, f: F) -> &mut [u8]where
    F: FnOnce(&mut [u8]),

Check if the buffer is valid, if not call the provided closure. Then mark the buffer as valid and initialize it to a known state. This is to make sure the data in it is always “valid” and not garbage after a powerloss.
