Struct spin::once::Once

pub struct Once<T = (), R = Spin> { /* fields omitted */ }

This is supported on crate feature once only.

A primitive that provides lazy one-time initialization.

Unlike its std::sync equivalent, this is generalized such that the closure returns a value to be stored by the Once (std::sync::Once can be trivially emulated with Once).

Because Once::new is const, this primitive may be used to safely initialize statics.

Examples

use spin;

static START: spin::Once = spin::Once::new();

START.call_once(|| {
    // run initialization here
});

Implementations

impl<T, R: RelaxStrategy> Once<T, R>

pub fn call_once<F: FnOnce() -> T>(&self, f: F) -> &T

Performs an initialization routine once and only once. The given closure will be executed if this is the first time call_once has been called, and otherwise the routine will not be invoked.

This method will block the calling thread if another initialization routine is currently running.

When this function returns, it is guaranteed that some initialization has run and completed (it may not be the closure specified). The returned pointer will point to the result from the closure that was run.

Panics

This function will panic if the Once previously panicked while attempting to initialize. This is similar to the poisoning behaviour of std::sync’s primitives.

Examples

use spin;

static INIT: spin::Once<usize> = spin::Once::new();

fn get_cached_val() -> usize {
    *INIT.call_once(expensive_computation)
}

fn expensive_computation() -> usize {
    // ...
}

pub fn wait(&self) -> &T

Spins until the Once contains a value.

Note that in releases prior to 0.7, this function had the behaviour of Once::poll.

Panics

This function will panic if the Once previously panicked while attempting to initialize. This is similar to the poisoning behaviour of std::sync’s primitives.

pub fn poll(&self) -> Option<&T>

Like Once::get, but will spin if the Once is in the process of being initialized. If initialization has not even begun, None will be returned.

Note that in releases prior to 0.7, this function was named wait.

Panics

This function will panic if the Once previously panicked while attempting to initialize. This is similar to the poisoning behaviour of std::sync’s primitives.

impl<T, R> Once<T, R>

pub const INIT: Self

Initialization constant of Once.

pub const fn new() -> Self

Creates a new Once.

pub const fn initialized(data: T) -> Self

Creates a new initialized Once.

pub fn as_mut_ptr(&self) -> *mut T

Retrieve a pointer to the inner data.

While this method itself is safe, accessing the pointer before the Once has been initialized is UB, unless this method has already been written to from a pointer coming from this method.

pub fn get(&self) -> Option<&T>

Returns a reference to the inner value if the Once has been initialized.

pub unsafe fn get_unchecked(&self) -> &T

Returns a reference to the inner value on the unchecked assumption that the Once has been initialized.

Safety

This is extremely unsafe if the Once has not already been initialized because a reference to uninitialized memory will be returned, immediately triggering undefined behaviour (even if the reference goes unused). However, this can be useful in some instances for exposing the Once to FFI or when the overhead of atomically checking initialization is unacceptable and the Once has already been initialized.

pub fn get_mut(&mut self) -> Option<&mut T>

Returns a mutable reference to the inner value if the Once has been initialized.

Because this method requires a mutable reference to the Once, no synchronization overhead is required to access the inner value. In effect, it is zero-cost.

pub fn try_into_inner(self) -> Option<T>

Returns a the inner value if the Once has been initialized.

Because this method requires ownership of the Once, no synchronization overhead is required to access the inner value. In effect, it is zero-cost.

pub fn is_completed(&self) -> bool

Checks whether the value has been initialized.

This is done using Acquire ordering, and therefore it is safe to access the value directly via get_unchecked if this returns true.
