The /// purpose of this trait is to encode what types are safe to cross a `recover` /// boundary with no fear of panic safety. /// /// ## What is panic safety? /// /// In Rust a function can "return" early if it either panics or calls a /// function which transitively panics. This sort of control flow is not always /// anticipated, and has the possibility of causing subtle bugs through a /// combination of two cricial components: /// /// 1. A data structure is in a temporarily invalid state when the thread /// panics. /// 2. This broken invariant is then later observed. /// /// Typically in Rust, it is difficult to perform step (2) because catching a /// panic involves either spawning a thread (which in turns makes it difficult /// to later witness broken invariants) or using the `recover` function in this /// module. Additionally, even if an invariant is witnessed, it typically isn't a /// problem in Rust because there's no uninitialized values (like in C or C++). /// /// It is possible, however, for **logical** invariants to be broken in Rust, /// which can end up causing behavioral bugs. Another key aspect of panic safety /// in Rust is that, in the absence of `unsafe` code, a panic cannot lead to /// memory unsafety. /// /// That was a bit of a whirlwind tour of panic safety, but for more information /// about panic safety and how it applies to Rust, see an [associated RFC][rfc]. /// /// [rfc]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/1236-stabilize-catch-panic.md /// /// ## What is `RecoverSafe`? /// /// Now that we've got an idea of what panic safety is in Rust, it's also /// important to understand what this trait represents. As mentioned above, one /// way to witness broken invariants is through the `recover` function in this /// module as it allows catching a panic and then re-using the environment of /// the closure. /// /// Simply put, a type `T` implements `RecoverSafe` if it cannot easily allow /// witnessing a broken invariant through the use of `recover` (catching a /// panic). This trait is a marker trait, so it is automatically implemented for /// many types, and it is also structurally composed (e.g. a struct is recover /// safe if all of its components are recover safe). /// /// Note, however, that this is not an unsafe trait, so there is not a succinct /// contract that this trait is providing. Instead it is intended as more of a /// "speed bump" to alert users of `recover` that broken invariants may be /// witnessed and may need to be accounted for. /// /// ## Who implements `RecoverSafe`? /// /// Types such as `&mut T` and `&RefCell` are examples which are **not** /// recover safe. The general idea is that any mutable state which can be shared /// across `recover` is not recover safe by default. This is because it is very /// easy to witness a broken invariant outside of `recover` as the data is /// simply accesed as usual. /// /// Types like `&Mutex`, however, are recover safe because they implement /// poisoning by default. They still allow witnessing a broken invariant, but /// they already provide their own "speed bumps" to do so. /// /// ## When should `RecoverSafe` be used? /// /// Is not intended that most types or functions need to worry about this trait. /// It is only used as a bound on the `recover` function and as mentioned above, /// the lack of `unsafe` means it is mostly an advisory. The `AssertRecoverSafe` /// wrapper struct in this module can be used to force this trait to be /// implemented for any closed over variables passed to the `recover` function /// (more on this below). #[unstable(feature = "recover", reason = "awaiting feedback", issue = "27719")] #[rustc_on_unimplemented = "the type {Self} may not be safely transferred \ across a recover boundary"] pub trait RecoverSafe {} /// A marker trait representing types where a shared reference is considered /// recover safe. /// /// This trait is namely not implemented by `UnsafeCell`, the root of all /// interior mutability. /// /// This is a "helper marker trait" used to provide impl blocks for the /// `RecoverSafe` trait, for more information see that documentation. #[unstable(feature = "recover", reason = "awaiting feedback", issue = "27719")] #[rustc_on_unimplemented = "the type {Self} contains interior mutability \ and a reference may not be safely transferrable \ across a recover boundary"] pub trait RefRecoverSafe {} /// A simple wrapper around a type to assert that it is panic safe. /// /// When using `recover` it may be the case that some of the closed over /// variables are not panic safe.

It /// may not be the case, however, that this is actually a problem due to the /// specific usage of `recover` if panic safety is specifically taken into /// account.
