//! # The Rust core allocation and collections library //! //! This library provides smart pointers and collections for managing //! heap-allocated values. //! //! This library, like libcore, normally doesn’t need to be used directly //! since its contents are re-exported in the [`std` crate](../std/index.html). //! Crates that use the `#![no_std]` attribute however will typically //! not depend on `std`, so they’d use this crate instead. //! //! ## Boxed values //! //! The [`Box`] type is a smart pointer type. There can only be one owner of a //! [`Box`], and the owner can decide to mutate the contents, which live on the //! heap. //! //! This type can be sent among threads efficiently as the size of a `Box` value //! is the same as that of a pointer. Tree-like data structures are often built //! with boxes because each node often has only one owner, the parent. //! //! ## Reference counted pointers //! //! The [`Rc`] type is a non-threadsafe reference-counted pointer type intended //! for sharing memory within a thread. An [`Rc`] pointer wraps a type, `T`, and //! only allows access to `&T`, a shared reference. //! //! This type is useful when inherited mutability (such as using [`Box`]) is too //! constraining for an application, and is often paired with the [`Cell`] or //! [`RefCell`] types in order to allow mutation. //! //! ## Atomically reference counted pointers //! //! The [`Arc`] type is the threadsafe equivalent of the [`Rc`] type. It //! provides all the same functionality of [`Rc`], except it requires that the //! contained type `T` is shareable. Additionally, [`Arc`][`Arc`] is itself //! sendable while [`Rc`][`Rc`] is not. //! //! This type allows for shared access to the contained data, and is often //! paired with synchronization primitives such as mutexes to allow mutation of //! shared resources. //! //! ## Collections //! //! Implementations of the most common general purpose data structures are //! defined in this library. They are re-exported through the //! [standard collections library](../std/collections/index.html). //! //! ## Heap interfaces //! //! The [`alloc`](alloc/index.html) module defines the low-level interface to the //! default global allocator. It is not compatible with the libc allocator API. //! //! [`Arc`]: sync //! [`Box`]: boxed //! [`Cell`]: core::cell //! [`Rc`]: rc //! [`RefCell`]: core::cell #![allow(unused_attributes)] #![stable(feature = "alloc", since = "1.36.0")] #![doc( html_root_url = "https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/", html_playground_url = "https://play.rust-lang.org/", issue_tracker_base_url = "https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/", test(no_crate_inject, attr(allow(unused_variables), deny(warnings))) )] #![no_std] #![needs_allocator] #![warn(deprecated_in_future)] #![warn(missing_docs)] #![warn(missing_debug_implementations)] #![allow(explicit_outlives_requirements)] #![deny(unsafe_op_in_unsafe_fn)] #![feature(rustc_allow_const_fn_unstable)] #![cfg_attr(not(test), feature(generator_trait))] #![cfg_attr(test, feature(test))] #![cfg_attr(test, feature(new_uninit))] #![feature(allocator_api)] #![feature(vec_extend_from_within)] #![feature(array_chunks)] #![feature(array_methods)] #![feature(array_windows)] #![feature(allow_internal_unstable)] #![feature(arbitrary_self_types)] #![feature(async_stream)] #![feature(box_patterns)] #![feature(box_syntax)] #![feature(cfg_sanitize)] #![feature(cfg_target_has_atomic)] #![feature(coerce_unsized)] #![feature(const_btree_new)] #![feature(const_fn)] #![feature(cow_is_borrowed)] #![feature(const_cow_is_borrowed)] #![feature(destructuring_assignment)] #![feature(dispatch_from_dyn)] #![feature(core_intrinsics)] #![feature(dropck_eyepatch)] #![feature(exact_size_is_empty)] #![feature(exclusive_range_pattern)] #![feature(extend_one)] #![feature(fmt_internals)] #![feature(fn_traits)] #![feature(fundamental)] #![feature(inplace_iteration)] // Technically, this is a bug in rustdoc: rustdoc sees the documentation on `#[lang = slice_alloc]` // blocks is for `&[T]`, which also has documentation using this feature in `core`, and gets mad // that the feature-gate isn't enabled.
