#![warn(missing_docs)] /*! # An owning reference. This crate provides the _owning reference_ types `OwningRef` and `OwningRefMut` that enables it to bundle a reference together with the owner of the data it points to. This allows moving and dropping of a `OwningRef` without needing to recreate the reference. This can sometimes be useful because Rust borrowing rules normally prevent moving a type that has been moved from. For example, this kind of code gets rejected: ```compile_fail,E0515 fn return_owned_and_referenced<'a>() -> (Vec<u8>, &'a [u8]) { let v = vec![1, 2, 3, 4]; let s = &v[1..3]; (v, s) } ``` Even though, from a memory-layout point of view, this can be entirely safe if the new location of the vector still lives longer than the lifetime `'a` of the reference because the backing allocation of the vector does not change. This library enables this safe usage by keeping the owner and the reference bundled together in a wrapper type that ensure that lifetime constraint: ```rust # extern crate owning_ref; # use owning_ref::OwningRef; # fn main() { fn return_owned_and_referenced() -> OwningRef<Vec<u8>, [u8]> { let v = vec![1, 2, 3, 4]; let or = OwningRef::new(v); let or = or.map(|v| &v[1..3]); or } # } ``` It works by requiring owner types to dereference to stable memory locations and preventing mutable access to root containers, which in practice requires heap allocation as provided by `Box<T>`, `Rc<T>`, etc. Also provided are typedefs for common owner type combinations, which allow for less verbose type signatures. For example, `BoxRef<T>` instead of `OwningRef<Box<T>, T>`. The crate also provides the more advanced `OwningHandle` type, which allows more freedom in bundling a dependent handle object along with the data it depends on, at the cost of some unsafe needed in the API. See the documentation around `OwningHandle` for more details. # Examples ## Basics ``` extern crate owning_ref; use owning_ref::BoxRef; fn main() { // Create an array owned by a Box. let arr = Box::new([1, 2, 3, 4]) as Box<[i32]>; // Transfer into a BoxRef. let arr: BoxRef<[i32]> = BoxRef::new(arr); assert_eq!(&*arr, &[1, 2, 3, 4]); // We can slice the array without losing ownership or changing type. let arr: BoxRef<[i32]> = arr.map(|arr| &arr[1..3]); assert_eq!(&*arr, &[2, 3]); // Also works for Arc, Rc, String and Vec! } ``` ## Caching a reference to a struct field ``` extern crate owning_ref; use owning_ref::BoxRef; fn main() { struct Foo { tag: u32, x: u16, y: u16, z: u16, } let foo = Foo { tag: 1, x: 100, y: 200, z: 300 }; let or = BoxRef::new(Box::new(foo)).map(|foo| { match foo.tag { 0 => &foo.x, 1 => &foo.y, 2 => &foo.z, _ => panic!(), } }); assert_eq!(*or, 200); } ``` ## Caching a reference to an entry in a vector ``` extern crate owning_ref; use owning_ref::VecRef; fn main() { let v = VecRef::new(vec![1, 2, 3, 4, 5]).map(|v| &v[3]); assert_eq!(*v, 4); } ``` ## Caching a subslice of a String ``` extern crate owning_ref; use owning_ref::StringRef; fn main() { let s = StringRef::new("hello world".to_owned()) .map(|s| s.split(' ').nth(1).unwrap()); assert_eq!(&*s, "world"); } ``` ## Reference counted slices that share ownership of the backing storage ``` extern crate owning_ref; use owning_ref::RcRef; use std::rc::Rc; fn main() { let rc: RcRef<[i32]> = RcRef::new(Rc::new([1, 2, 3, 4]) as Rc<[i32]>); assert_eq!(&*rc, &[1, 2, 3, 4]); let rc_a: RcRef<[i32]> = rc.clone().map(|s| &s[0..2]); let rc_b = rc.clone().map(|s| &s[1..3]); let rc_c = rc.clone().map(|s| &s[2..4]); assert_eq!(&*rc_a, &[1, 2]); assert_eq!(&*rc_b, &[2, 3]); assert_eq!(&*rc_c, &[3, 4]); let rc_c_a = rc_c.clone().map(|s| &s[1]); assert_eq!(&*rc_c_a, &4); } ``` ## Atomic reference counted slices that share ownership of the backing storage ``` extern crate owning_ref; use owning_ref::ArcRef; use std::sync::Arc; fn main() { use std::thread; fn par_sum(rc: ArcRef<[i32]>) -> i32 { if rc.len() == 0 { return 0; } else if rc.len() == 1 { return rc[0]; } let mid = rc.len() / 2; let left = rc.clone().map(|s| &s[..mid]); let right = rc.map(|s| &s[mid..]); let left = thread::spawn(move || par_sum(left)); let right = thread::spawn(move || par_sum(right)); left.join().unwrap() + right.join().unwrap() } let rc: Arc<[i32]> = Arc::new([1, 2, 3, 4]); let rc: ArcRef<[i32]> = rc.into(); assert_eq!(par_sum(rc), 10); } ``` ## References into RAII locks ``` extern crate owning_ref; use owning_ref::RefRef; use std::cell::{RefCell, Ref}; fn main() { let refcell = RefCell::new((1, 2, 3, 4)); // Also works with Mutex and RwLock let refref = { let refref = RefRef::new(refcell.borrow()).map(|x| &x.3); assert_eq!(*refref, 4); // We move the RAII lock and the reference to one of // the subfields in the data it guards here: refref }; assert_eq!(*refref, 4); drop(refref); assert_eq!(*refcell.borrow(), (1, 2, 3, 4)); } ``` ## Mutable reference When the owned container implements `DerefMut`, it is also possible to make a _mutable owning reference_. (e.g., with `Box`, `RefMut`, `MutexGuard`) ``` extern crate owning_ref; use owning_ref::RefMutRefMut; use std::cell::{RefCell, RefMut}; fn main() { let refcell = RefCell::new((1, 2, 3, 4)); let mut refmut_refmut = { let mut refmut_refmut = RefMutRefMut::new(refcell.borrow_mut()).map_mut(|x| &mut x.3); assert_eq!(*refmut_refmut, 4); *refmut_refmut *= 2; refmut_refmut }; assert_eq!(*refmut_refmut, 8); *refmut_refmut *= 2; drop(refmut_refmut); assert_eq!(*refcell.borrow(), (1, 2, 3, 16)); } ``` */ pub use stable_deref_trait::{ CloneStableDeref as CloneStableAddress, StableDeref as StableAddress, }; use std::mem; /// An owning reference. /// /// This wraps an owner `O` and a reference `&T` pointing /// at something reachable from `O::Target` while keeping /// the ability to move `self` around. /// /// The owner is usually a pointer that points at some base type. /// /// For more details and examples, see the module and method docs. pub struct OwningRef<O, T: ?Sized> { owner: O, reference: *const T, } /// An mutable owning reference. /// /// This wraps an owner `O` and a reference `&mut T` pointing /// at something reachable from `O::Target` while keeping /// the ability to move `self` around. /// /// The owner is usually a pointer that points at some base type. /// /// For more details and examples, see the module and method docs. pub struct OwningRefMut<O, T: ?Sized> { owner: O, reference: *mut T, } /// Helper trait for an erased concrete type an owner dereferences to. /// This is used in form of a trait object for keeping /// something around to (virtually) call the destructor. pub trait Erased {} impl<T> Erased for T {} /// Helper trait for erasing the concrete type of what an owner dereferences to, /// for example `Box<T> -> Box<Erased>`.
