Threadsafe reference-counted boxes (the `Arc` type). //! //! The `Arc` type provides shared ownership of an immutable value. //! Destruction is deterministic, and will occur as soon as the last owner is //! gone. It is marked as `Send` because it uses atomic reference counting. //! //! If you do not need thread-safety, and just need shared ownership, consider //! the [`Rc` type](../rc/struct.Rc.html). It is the same as `Arc`, but //! does not use atomics, making it both thread-unsafe as well as significantly //! faster when updating the reference count. //! //! The `downgrade` method can be used to create a non-owning `Weak` pointer //! to the box. A `Weak` pointer can be upgraded to an `Arc` pointer, but //! will return `None` if the value has already been dropped. //! //! For example, a tree with parent pointers can be represented by putting the //! nodes behind strong `Arc` pointers, and then storing the parent pointers //! as `Weak` pointers. //! //! # Examples //! //! Sharing some immutable data between threads: //! //! ```no_run //! use std::sync::Arc; //! use std::thread; //! //! let five = Arc::new(5); //! //! for _ in 0..10 { //! let five = five.clone(); //! //! thread::spawn(move || { //! println!("{:?}", five); //! }); //! } //! ``` //! //! Sharing mutable data safely between threads with a `Mutex`: //! //! ```no_run //! use std::sync::{Arc, Mutex}; //! use std::thread; //! //! let five = Arc::new(Mutex::new(5)); //! //! for _ in 0..10 { //! let five = five.clone(); //! //! thread::spawn(move || { //! let mut number = five.lock().unwrap(); //! //! *number += 1; //! //! println!("{}", *number); // prints 6 //! }); //! } //! ``` use boxed::Box; use core::prelude::*; use core::atomic; use core::atomic::Ordering::{Relaxed, Release, Acquire, SeqCst}; use core::fmt; use core::cmp::Ordering; use core::mem::{min_align_of_val, size_of_val}; use core::intrinsics::drop_in_place; use core::mem; use core::nonzero::NonZero; use core::ops::{Deref, CoerceUnsized}; use core::marker::Unsize; use core::hash::{Hash, Hasher}; use heap::deallocate; /// An atomically reference counted wrapper for shared state. /// /// # Examples /// /// In this example, a large vector of floats is shared between several threads. /// With simple pipes, without `Arc`, a copy would have to be made for each /// thread. /// /// When you clone an `Arc`, it will create another pointer to the data and /// increase the reference counter. /// /// ``` /// use std::sync::Arc; /// use std::thread; /// /// fn main() { /// let numbers: Vec<_> = (0..100u32).collect(); /// let shared_numbers = Arc::new(numbers); /// /// for _ in 0..10 { /// let child_numbers = shared_numbers.clone(); /// /// thread::spawn(move || { /// let local_numbers = &child_numbers[..]; /// /// // Work with the local numbers /// }); /// } /// } /// ``` #[unsafe_no_drop_flag] #[stable(feature = "rust1", since = "1.0.0")] pub struct Arc { // FIXME #12808: strange name to try to avoid interfering with // field accesses of the contained type via Deref _ptr: NonZero<*mut ArcInner>, } unsafe impl Send for Arc { } unsafe impl Sync for Arc { } impl, U: ?Sized> CoerceUnsized> for Arc {} /// A weak pointer to an `Arc`. /// /// Weak pointers will not keep the data inside of the `Arc` alive, and can be /// used to break cycles between `Arc` pointers. #[unsafe_no_drop_flag] #[unstable(feature = "arc_weak", reason = "Weak pointers may not belong in this module.")] pub struct Weak { // FIXME #12808: strange name to try to avoid interfering with // field accesses of the contained type via Deref _ptr: NonZero<*mut ArcInner>, } unsafe impl Send for Weak { } unsafe impl Sync for Weak { } #[stable(feature = "rust1", since = "1.0.0")] impl fmt::Debug for Weak { fn fmt(&self, f: &mut fmt::Formatter) -> fmt::Result { write!(f, "(Weak)") } } struct ArcInner { strong: atomic::AtomicUsize, weak: atomic::AtomicUsize, data: T, } unsafe impl Send for ArcInner {} unsafe impl Sync for ArcInner {} impl Arc { /// Constructs a new `Arc`. /// /// # Examples /// /// ``` /// use std::sync::Arc; /// /// let five = Arc::new(5); /// ``` #[inline] #[stable(feature = "rust1", since = "1.0.0")] pub fn new(data: T) -> Arc { // Start the weak pointer count as 1 which is the weak pointer that's // held by all the strong pointers (kinda), see std/rc.rs for more info let x: Box<_> = box ArcInner { strong: atomic::AtomicUsize::new(1), weak: atomic::AtomicUsize::new(1), data: data, }; Arc { _ptr: unsafe { NonZero::new(mem::transmute(x)) } } } } impl Arc { /// Downgrades the `Arc` to a `Weak` reference. /// /// # Examples /// /// ``` /// # #![feature(arc_weak)] /// use std::sync::Arc; /// /// let five = Arc::new(5); /// /// let weak_five = five.downgrade(); /// ``` #[unstable(feature = "arc_weak", reason = "Weak pointers may not belong in this module.")] pub fn downgrade(&self) -> Weak { // See the clone() impl for why this is relaxed self.inner().weak.fetch_add(1, Relaxed); Weak { _ptr: self._ptr } } /// Get the number of weak references to this value. #[inline] #[unstable(feature = "arc_counts")] pub fn weak_count(this: &Arc) -> usize { this.inner().weak.load(SeqCst) - 1 } /// Get the number of strong references to this value. #[inline] #[unstable(feature = "arc_counts")] pub fn strong_count(this: &Arc) -> usize { this.inner().strong.load(SeqCst) } #[inline] fn inner(&self) -> &ArcInner { // This unsafety is ok because while this arc is alive we're guaranteed // that the inner pointer is valid.
