Trait signature_core::lib::marker::Sync 1.0.0[−][src]
pub unsafe auto trait Sync { }
Expand description
Types for which it is safe to share references between threads.
This trait is automatically implemented when the compiler determines it’s appropriate.
The precise definition is: a type T
is Sync
if and only if &T
is
Send
. In other words, if there is no possibility of
undefined behavior (including data races) when passing
&T
references between threads.
As one would expect, primitive types like u8
and f64
are all Sync
, and so are simple aggregate types containing them,
like tuples, structs and enums. More examples of basic Sync
types include “immutable” types like &T
, and those with simple
inherited mutability, such as Box<T>
, Vec<T>
and
most other collection types. (Generic parameters need to be Sync
for their container to be Sync
.)
A somewhat surprising consequence of the definition is that &mut T
is Sync
(if T
is Sync
) even though it seems like that might
provide unsynchronized mutation. The trick is that a mutable
reference behind a shared reference (that is, & &mut T
)
becomes read-only, as if it were a & &T
. Hence there is no risk
of a data race.
Types that are not Sync
are those that have “interior
mutability” in a non-thread-safe form, such as Cell
and RefCell
. These types allow for mutation of
their contents even through an immutable, shared reference. For
example the set
method on Cell<T>
takes &self
, so it requires
only a shared reference &Cell<T>
. The method performs no
synchronization, thus Cell
cannot be Sync
.
Another example of a non-Sync
type is the reference-counting
pointer Rc
. Given any reference &Rc<T>
, you can clone
a new Rc<T>
, modifying the reference counts in a non-atomic way.
For cases when one does need thread-safe interior mutability,
Rust provides atomic data types, as well as explicit locking via
sync::Mutex
and sync::RwLock
. These types
ensure that any mutation cannot cause data races, hence the types
are Sync
. Likewise, sync::Arc
provides a thread-safe
analogue of Rc
.
Any types with interior mutability must also use the
cell::UnsafeCell
wrapper around the value(s) which
can be mutated through a shared reference. Failing to doing this is
undefined behavior. For example, transmute
-ing
from &T
to &mut T
is invalid.
See the Nomicon for more details about Sync
.

NonNull
pointers are not Sync
because the data they reference may be aliased.

Conditionally mark BitSlice
as Sync
based on its T
type argument.
In order for BitSlice
to be Sync
(that is, &BitSlice
can be copied across
thread boundaries), it must be capable of reading from memory without being
invalidated by any other &mut BitSlice
handles that alias the same memory
address.
This is true when T
is one of the fundamental integers, because no other
&mut BitSlice
handle can exist to effect mutations, or when T
is a BitSafe
type that implements atomic read-modify-write instructions, because it will
guard against other &mut BitSlice
modifications in hardware.
When T
is a non-atomic BitSafe
type, BitSlice
cannot be Sync
, because
one &BitSlice
moved across a thread boundary may read from memory that is
modified by the originally-owning thread, but the instructions used to access
memory do not guard against such data races.
A &BitSlice
over aliased memory addresses is equivalent to either a &Cell
or &AtomicT
, depending on what the radium
crate makes available for the
register width.
