Expand description
Dynamic smart pointers for abstracting over different ownership models.
This library allows you to dynamically abstract over three different kinds of “shared
ownership” in Rust: Rc, Arc and &'static. The two pointers defined in this crate can be
constructed from multiple different kinds of shared ownership pointers, dynamically
dispatching their Clone and Drop implementations.
A SharedPointer can be constructed from any of the three pointer types, but does not implement
Send or Sync. A SyncPointer can only be constructed from Arc or &'static, and is
threadsafe. Converting a SharedPointer to a SyncPointer is allowed, but panics if the
SharedPointer was constructed from an Rc.
Structs§
- Shared
Pointer - A dynamic smart pointer which is not guaranteed to be threadsafe.
- Sync
Pointer - A dynamic threadsafe smart pointer.
