Struct rcu_clean::BoxRcu

pub struct BoxRcu<T> { /* fields omitted */ }

An owned pointer that allows interior mutability

An BoxRcu is currently the size of two pointers (plus the allocated data). So one pointer of overhead versus a plain old Box. You will probably want to to occasionally call [clean] to free up copies made when you call update. Or you could just leak memory, that's cool too.

Our benchmark oddly shows BoxRcu reads as being faster than reads using Box. I don't understand this, or particularly believe it.

let x = rcu_clean::BoxRcu::new(3);
let y: &usize = &(*x);
*x.update() = 7; // Wow, we are mutating something we have borrowed!
assert_eq!(*y, 3); // the old reference is still valid.
assert_eq!(*x, 7); // but the pointer now points to the new value.
