Crate sync_ptr 

sync-ptr

Sync & Send wrappers for raw pointer’s in rust. To use add use sync_ptr::*; to your file, then you should be able to call my_ptr.as_sync_const() among others on any raw pointer to get a wrapped version of your raw pointer that is Sync/Send.

Example:

use std::ffi::c_void;
use sync_ptr::*;

fn my_func(some_ptr: *mut c_void) {
    let ptr: SyncMutPtr<c_void> = some_ptr.as_sync_mut();
    std::thread::spawn(move || {
        let _some_ptr : *mut c_void = ptr.inner();
    });
}

Structs

SendConstPtr

Wrapped const raw pointer that is Send but not Sync

SendMutPtr

Wrapped mutable raw pointer that is Send but not Sync

SyncConstPtr

Wrapped const raw pointer that is Send+Sync

SyncMutPtr

Wrapped mutable raw pointer that is Send+Sync

Traits

FromConstPtr

Helper trait for every *const T and *mut T to add fn’s to wrap it into a Sync/Send wrapper.

FromMutPtr

Helper trait for every *mut T to add fn’s to wrap it into a Sync/Send wrapper.
