1//! Async synchronization primitives.
2//!
3//! This crate provides the following primitives:
4//!
5//! * [`Barrier`] - enables tasks to synchronize all together at the same time.
6//! * [`Mutex`] - a mutual exclusion lock.
7//! * [`RwLock`] - a reader-writer lock, allowing any number of readers or a single writer.
8//! * [`Semaphore`] - limits the number of concurrent operations.
9//!
10//! ## Relationship with `std::sync`
11//!
12//! In general, you should consider using [`std::sync`] types over types from this crate.
13//!
14//! There are two primary use cases for types from this crate:
15//!
16//! - You need to use a synchronization primitive in a `no_std` environment.
17//! - You need to hold a lock across an `.await` point.
18//!   (Holding an [`std::sync`] lock guard across an `.await` will make your future non-`Send`,
19//!   and is also highly likely to cause deadlocks.)
20//!
21//! If you already use `libstd` and you aren't holding locks across await points (there is a
22//! Clippy lint called [`await_holding_lock`] that emits warnings for this scenario), you should
23//! consider [`std::sync`] instead of this crate. Those types are optimized for the currently
24//! running operating system, are less complex and are generally much faster.
25//!
26//! In contrast, `async-lock`'s notification system uses `std::sync::Mutex` under the hood if
27//! the `std` feature is enabled, and will fall back to a significantly slower strategy if it is
28//! not. So, there are few cases where `async-lock` is a win for performance over [`std::sync`].
