//! Types that pin data to its location in memory.
//!
//! It is sometimes useful to have objects that are guaranteed not to move,
//! in the sense that their placement in memory does not change, and can thus be relied upon.
//! A prime example of such a scenario would be building self-referential structs,
//! as moving an object with pointers to itself will invalidate them, which could cause undefined
//! behavior.
//!
//! A [`Pin<P>`] ensures that the pointee of any pointer type `P` has a stable location in memory,
//! meaning it cannot be moved elsewhere and its memory cannot be deallocated
//! until it gets dropped. We say that the pointee is "pinned".
//!
//! By default, all types in Rust are movable. Rust allows passing all types by-value,
//! and common smart-pointer types such as `Box<T>` and `&mut T` allow replacing and
//! moving the values they contain: you can move out of a `Box<T>`, or you can use [`mem::swap`].
//! [`Pin<P>`] wraps a pointer type `P`, so `Pin<Box<T>>` functions much like a regular `Box<T>`:
//! when a `Pin<Box<T>>` gets dropped, so do its contents, and the memory gets deallocated.
//! Similarly, `Pin<&mut T>` is a lot like `&mut T`. However, [`Pin<P>`] does not let clients
//! actually obtain a `Box<T>` or `&mut T` to pinned data, which implies that you cannot use
//! operations such as [`mem::swap`]:
//!
//! ```
//! use std::pin::Pin;
//! fn swap_pins<T>(x: Pin<&mut T>, y: Pin<&mut T>) {
//!     // `mem::swap` needs `&mut T`, but we cannot get it.
//!     // We are stuck, we cannot swap the contents of these references.
//!     // We could use `Pin::get_unchecked_mut`, but that is unsafe for a reason:
//!     // we are not allowed to use it for moving things out of the `Pin`.
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! It is worth reiterating that [`Pin<P>`] does *not* change the fact that a Rust compiler
//! considers all types movable. [`mem::swap`] remains callable for any `T`. Instead, `Pin<P>`
//! prevents certain *values* (pointed to by pointers wrapped in `Pin<P>`) from being
//! moved by making it impossible to call methods that require `&mut T` on them
//! (like [`mem::swap`]).
//!
//! [`Pin<P>`] can be used to wrap any pointer type `P`, and as such it interacts with
//! [`Deref`] and [`DerefMut`]. A `Pin<P>` where `P: Deref` should be considered
//! as a "`P`-style pointer" to a pinned `P::Target` -- so, a `Pin<Box<T>>` is
//! an owned pointer to a pinned `T`, and a `Pin<Rc<T>>` is a reference-counted
//! pointer to a pinned `T`.
//! For correctness, [`Pin<P>`] relies on the implementations of [`Deref`] and
//! [`DerefMut`] not to move out of their `self` parameter, and only ever to
//! return a pointer to pinned data when they are called on a pinned pointer.
//!
//! # `Unpin`
//!
//! Many types are always freely movable, even when pinned, because they do not
//! rely on having a stable address. This includes all the basic types (like
//! `bool`, `i32`, and references) as well as types consisting solely of these
//! types. Types that do not care about pinning implement the [`Unpin`]
//! auto-trait, which cancels the effect of [`Pin<P>`]. For `T: Unpin`,
//! `Pin<Box<T>>` and `Box<T>` function identically, as do `Pin<&mut T>` and
//! `&mut T`.
//!
//! Note that pinning and `Unpin` only affect the pointed-to type `P::Target`, not the pointer
//! type `P` itself that got wrapped in `Pin<P>`. For example, whether or not `Box<T>` is
//! `Unpin` has no effect on the behavior of `Pin<Box<T>>` (here, `T` is the
//! pointed-to type).
//!
//! # Example: self-referential struct
//!
//! ```rust
//! use std::pin::Pin;
//! use std::marker::PhantomPinned;
//! use std::ptr::NonNull;
//!
//! // This is a self-referential struct because the slice field points to the data field.
//! // We cannot inform the compiler about that with a normal reference,
//! // as this pattern cannot be described with the usual borrowing rules.
//! // Instead we use a raw pointer, though one which is known not to be null,
//! // as we know it's pointing at the string.
//! struct Unmovable {
//!     data: String,
//!     slice: NonNull<String>,
//!     _pin: PhantomPinned,
//! }
//!
//! impl Unmovable {
//!     // To ensure the data doesn't move when the function returns,
//!     // we place it in the heap where it will stay for the lifetime of the object,
//!     // and the only way to access it would be through a pointer to it.
//!     fn new(data: String) -> Pin<Box<Self>> {
//!         let res = Unmovable {
//!             data,
//!             // we only create the pointer once the data is in place
//!             // otherwise it will have already moved before we even started
//!             slice: NonNull::dangling(),
//!             _pin: PhantomPinned,
//!         };
//!         let mut boxed = Box::pin(res);
//!
//!         let slice = NonNull::from(&boxed.data);
//!         // we know this is safe because modifying a field doesn't move the whole struct
//!         unsafe {
//!             let mut_ref: Pin<&mut Self> = Pin::as_mut(&mut boxed);
//!             Pin::get_unchecked_mut(mut_ref).slice = slice;
//!         }
//!         boxed
//!     }
//! }
//!
//! let unmoved = Unmovable::new("hello".to_string());
//! // The pointer should point to the correct location,
//! // so long as the struct hasn't moved.
//! // Meanwhile, we are free to move the pointer around.
//! # #[allow(unused_mut)]
//! let mut still_unmoved = unmoved;
//! assert_eq!(still_unmoved.slice, NonNull::from(&still_unmoved.data));
//!
//! // Since our type doesn't implement Unpin, this will fail to compile:
//! // let mut new_unmoved = Unmovable::new("world".to_string());
//! // std::mem::swap(&mut *still_unmoved, &mut *new_unmoved);
//! ```
//!
//! # Example: intrusive doubly-linked list
//!
//! In an intrusive doubly-linked list, the collection does not actually allocate
//! the memory for the elements itself. Allocation is controlled by the clients,
//! and elements can live on a stack frame that lives shorter than the collection does.
//!
//! To make this work, every element has pointers to its predecessor and successor in
//! the list. Elements can only be added when they are pinned, because moving the elements
//! around would invalidate the pointers. Moreover, the `Drop` implementation of a linked
//! list element will patch the pointers of its predecessor and successor to remove itself
//! from the list.
//!
//! Crucially, we have to be able to rely on `drop` being called. If an element
//! could be deallocated or otherwise invalidated without calling `drop`, the pointers into it
//! from its neighbouring elements would become invalid, which would break the data structure.
//!
//! Therefore, pinning also comes with a `drop`-related guarantee.
//!
//! # `Drop` guarantee
//!
//! The purpose of pinning is to be able to rely on the placement of some data in memory.
//! To make this work, not just moving the data is restricted; deallocating, repurposing, or
//! otherwise invalidating the memory used to store the data is restricted, too.
//! Concretely, for pinned data you have to maintain the invariant
//! that *its memory will not get invalidated from the moment it gets pinned until
//! when `drop` is called*. Memory can be invalidated by deallocation, but also by
//! replacing a [`Some(v)`] by [`None`], or calling [`Vec::set_len`] to "kill" some elements
//! off of a vector.
//!
//! This is exactly the kind of guarantee that the intrusive linked list from the previous
//! section needs to function correctly.
//!
//! Notice that this guarantee does *not* mean that memory does not leak! It is still
//! completely okay not ever to call `drop` on a pinned element (e.g., you can still
//! call [`mem::forget`] on a `Pin<Box<T>>`). In the example of the doubly-linked
//! list, that element would just stay in the list. However you may not free or reuse the storage
//! *without calling `drop`*.
//!
//! # `Drop` implementation
//!
//! If your type uses pinning (such as the two examples above), you have to be careful
//! when implementing `Drop`. The `drop` function takes `&mut self`, but this
//! is called *even if your type was previously pinned*! It is as if the
//! compiler automatically called `get_unchecked_mut`.
//!
//! This can never cause a problem in safe code because implementing a type that
//! relies on pinning requires unsafe code, but be aware that deciding to make
//! use of pinning in your type (for example by implementing some operation on
//! `Pin<&Self>` or `Pin<&mut Self>`) has consequences for your `Drop`
//! implementation as well: if an element of your type could have been pinned,
//! you must treat Drop as implicitly taking `Pin<&mut Self>`.
//!
//! In particular, if your type is `#[repr(packed)]`, the compiler will automatically
//! move fields around to be able to drop them. As a consequence, you cannot use
//! pinning with a `#[repr(packed)]` type.
//!
//! # Projections and Structural Pinning
//!
//! One interesting question arises when considering the interaction of pinning
//! and the fields of a struct. When can a struct have a "pinning projection",
//! i.e., an operation with type `fn(Pin<&Struct>) -> Pin<&Field>`?  In a
//! similar vein, when can a generic wrapper type (such as `Vec<T>`, `Box<T>`,
//! or `RefCell<T>`) have an operation with type `fn(Pin<&Wrapper<T>>) ->
//! Pin<&T>`?
//!
//! Note: For the entirety of this discussion, the same applies for mutable references as it
//! does for shared references.
//!
//! Having a pinning projection for some field means that pinning is "structural":
//! when the wrapper is pinned, the field must be considered pinned, too.
//! After all, the pinning projection lets us get a `Pin<&Field>`.
//!
//! However, structural pinning comes with a few extra requirements, so not all
//! wrappers can be structural and hence not all wrappers can offer pinning projections:
//!
//! 1.  The wrapper must only be [`Unpin`] if all the structural fields are
//!     `Unpin`. This is the default, but `Unpin` is a safe trait, so as the author of
//!     the wrapper it is your responsibility *not* to add something like
//!     `impl<T> Unpin for Wrapper<T>`. (Notice that adding a projection operation
//!     requires unsafe code, so the fact that `Unpin` is a safe trait does not break
//!     the principle that you only have to worry about any of this if you use `unsafe`.)
//! 2.  The destructor of the wrapper must not move structural fields out of its argument. This
//!     is the exact point that was raised in the [previous section][drop-impl]: `drop` takes
//!     `&mut self`, but the wrapper (and hence its fields) might have been pinned before.
//!     You have to guarantee that you do not move a field inside your `Drop` implementation.
//!     In particular, as explained previously, this means that your wrapper type must *not*
//!     be `#[repr(packed)]`.
//! 3.  You must make sure that you uphold the [`Drop` guarantee][drop-guarantee]:
//!     once your wrapper is pinned, the memory that contains the
//!     content is not overwritten or deallocated without calling the content's destructors.
//!     This can be tricky, as witnessed by `VecDeque<T>`: the destructor of `VecDeque<T>` can fail
//!     to call `drop` on all elements if one of the destructors panics. This violates the
//!     `Drop` guarantee, because it can lead to elements being deallocated without
//!     their destructor being called. (`VecDeque` has no pinning projections, so this
//!     does not cause unsoundness.)
//! 4.  You must not offer any other operations that could lead to data being moved out of
//!     the fields when your type is pinned. For example, if the wrapper contains an
//!     `Option<T>` and there is a `take`-like operation with type
//!     `fn(Pin<&mut Wrapper<T>>) -> Option<T>`,
//!     that operation can be used to move a `T` out of a pinned `Wrapper<T>` -- which means
//!     pinning cannot be structural.
//!
//!     For a more complex example of moving data out of a pinned type, imagine if `RefCell<T>`
//!     had a method `fn get_pin_mut(self: Pin<&mut Self>) -> Pin<&mut T>`.
//!     Then we could do the following:
//!     ```compile_fail
//!     fn exploit_ref_cell<T>(rc: Pin<&mut RefCell<T>>) {
//!         { let p = rc.as_mut().get_pin_mut(); } // Here we get pinned access to the `T`.
//!         let rc_shr: &RefCell<T> = rc.into_ref().get_ref();
//!         let b = rc_shr.borrow_mut();
//!         let content = &mut *b; // And here we have `&mut T` to the same data.
//!     }
//!     ```
//!     This is catastrophic, it means we can first pin the content of the `RefCell<T>`
//!     (using `RefCell::get_pin_mut`) and then move that content using the mutable
//!     reference we got later.
//!
//! For a type like `Vec<T>`, both possibilites (structural pinning or not) make sense,
//! and the choice is up to the author. A `Vec<T>` with structural pinning could
//! have `get_pin`/`get_pin_mut` projections. However, it could *not* allow calling
//! `pop` on a pinned `Vec<T>` because that would move the (structurally pinned) contents!
//! Nor could it allow `push`, which might reallocate and thus also move the contents.
//! A `Vec<T>` without structural pinning could `impl<T> Unpin for Vec<T>`, because the contents
//! are never pinned and the `Vec<T>` itself is fine with being moved as well.
//!
//! In the standard library, pointer types generally do not have structural pinning,
//! and thus they do not offer pinning projections. This is why `Box<T>: Unpin` holds for all `T`.
//! It makes sense to do this for pointer types, because moving the `Box<T>`
//! does not actually move the `T`: the `Box<T>` can be freely movable (aka `Unpin`) even if the `T`
//! is not. In fact, even `Pin<Box<T>>` and `Pin<&mut T>` are always `Unpin` themselves,
//! for the same reason: their contents (the `T`) are pinned, but the pointers themselves
//! can be moved without moving the pinned data. For both `Box<T>` and `Pin<Box<T>>`,
//! whether the content is pinned is entirely independent of whether the pointer is
//! pinned, meaning pinning is *not* structural.
