Struct TCellOwner

pub struct TCellOwner<Q: 'static> { /* private fields */ }

Borrowing-owner of zero or more TCell instances.

See crate documentation.

Implementations

impl<Q: 'static> TCellOwner<Q>

pub fn new() -> Self

Create the singleton owner instance. Each owner may be used to create many TCell instances. There may be only one instance of this type per process at any given time for each different marker type Q. This call panics if a second simultaneous instance is created.

Keep in mind that in Rust, tests are run in parallel unless specified otherwise (using e.g. RUST_TEST_THREADS), so this panic may be more easy to trigger than you might think. To avoid this panic, consider using the methods TCellOwner::wait_for_new or TCellOwner::try_new instead.

pub fn try_new() -> Option<Self>

Same as TCellOwner::new, except if another TCellOwner of this type Q already exists, this returns None instead of panicking.

pub fn wait_for_new() -> Self

Same as TCellOwner::new, except if another TCellOwner of this type Q already exists, this function blocks the thread until that other instance is dropped. This will of course deadlock if that other instance is owned by the same thread.

Note that owners are expected to be relatively long-lived. If you need to access cells associated with a given marker type from several different threads, the most efficient pattern is to have a single long-lived owner shared between threads, with a Mutex or RwLock to control access. This call is intended to help when several independent tests need to run which use the same marker type internally.

pub fn cell<T>(&self, value: T) -> TCell<Q, T>

Create a new cell owned by this owner instance. See also TCell::new.

pub fn ro<'a, T: ?Sized>(&'a self, tc: &'a TCell<Q, T>) -> &'a T

Borrow contents of a TCell immutably (read-only). Many TCell instances can be borrowed immutably at the same time from the same owner.

pub fn rw<'a, T: ?Sized>(&'a mut self, tc: &'a TCell<Q, T>) -> &'a mut T

Borrow contents of a TCell mutably (read-write). Only one TCell at a time can be borrowed from the owner using this call. The returned reference must go out of scope before another can be borrowed.

pub fn rw2<'a, T: ?Sized, U: ?Sized>( &'a mut self, tc1: &'a TCell<Q, T>, tc2: &'a TCell<Q, U>, ) -> (&'a mut T, &'a mut U)

Borrow contents of two TCell instances mutably. Panics if the two TCell instances point to the same memory.

pub fn rw3<'a, T: ?Sized, U: ?Sized, V: ?Sized>( &'a mut self, tc1: &'a TCell<Q, T>, tc2: &'a TCell<Q, U>, tc3: &'a TCell<Q, V>, ) -> (&'a mut T, &'a mut U, &'a mut V)

Borrow contents of three TCell instances mutably. Panics if any pair of TCell instances point to the same memory.
