//! Single-threaded reference-counting pointers.
//!
//! The type [`Rc<T>`][rc] provides shared ownership of a value of type `T`,
//! allocated in the heap. Invoking [`clone`][clone] on `Rc` produces a new
//! pointer to the same value in the heap. When the last `Rc` pointer to a
//! given value is destroyed, the pointed-to value is also destroyed.
//!
//! Shared references in Rust disallow mutation by default, and `Rc` is no
//! exception. If you need to mutate through an `Rc`, use [`Cell`][cell] or
//! [`RefCell`][refcell].
//!
//! `Rc` uses non-atomic reference counting. This means that overhead is very
//! low, but an `Rc` cannot be sent between threads, and consequently `Rc`
//! does not implement [`Send`][send]. As a result, the Rust compiler
//! will check *at compile time* that you are not sending `Rc`s between
//! threads. If you need multi-threaded, atomic reference counting, use
//! [`sync::Arc`][arc].
//!
//! The [`downgrade`][downgrade] method can be used to create a non-owning
//! [`Weak`][weak] pointer. A `Weak` pointer can be [`upgrade`][upgrade]d
//! to an `Rc`, but this will return [`None`][option] if the value has
//! already been dropped.
//!
//! A cycle between `Rc` pointers will never be deallocated. For this reason,
//! `Weak` is used to break cycles. For example, a tree could have strong
//! `Rc` pointers from parent nodes to children, and `Weak` pointers from
//! children back to their parents.
//!
//! `Rc<T>` automatically dereferences to `T` (via the [`Deref`][deref] trait),
//! so you can call `T`'s methods on a value of type `Rc<T>`. To avoid name
//! clashes with `T`'s methods, the methods of `Rc<T>` itself are [associated
//! functions][assoc], called using function-like syntax:
//!
//! ```
//! use std::rc::Rc;
//! let my_rc = Rc::new(());
//!
//! Rc::downgrade(&my_rc);
//! ```
//!
//! `Weak<T>` does not auto-dereference to `T`, because the value may have
//! already been destroyed.

//! # Examples
//!
//! Consider a scenario where a set of `Gadget`s are owned by a given `Owner`.
//! We want to have our `Gadget`s point to their `Owner`. We can't do this with
//! unique ownership, because more than one gadget may belong to the same
//! `Owner`. `Rc` allows us to share an `Owner` between multiple `Gadget`s,
//! and have the `Owner` remain allocated as long as any `Gadget` points at it.
//!
//! ```
//! use std::rc::Rc;
//!
//! struct Owner {
//!     name: String,
//!     // ...other fields
//! }
//!
//! struct Gadget {
//!     id: i32,
//!     owner: Rc<Owner>,
//!     // ...other fields
//! }
//!
//! fn main() {
//!     // Create a reference-counted `Owner`.
//!     let gadget_owner: Rc<Owner> = Rc::new(
//!         Owner {
//!             name: "Gadget Man".to_string(),
//!         }
//!     );
//!
//!     // Create `Gadget`s belonging to `gadget_owner`. Cloning the `Rc<Owner>`
//!     // value gives us a new pointer to the same `Owner` value, incrementing
//!     // the reference count in the process.
//!     let gadget1 = Gadget {
//!         id: 1,
//!         owner: gadget_owner.clone(),
//!     };
//!     let gadget2 = Gadget {
//!         id: 2,
//!         owner: gadget_owner.clone(),
//!     };
//!
//!     // Dispose of our local variable `gadget_owner`.
//!     drop(gadget_owner);
//!
//!     // Despite dropping `gadget_owner`, we're still able to print out the name
//!     // of the `Owner` of the `Gadget`s. This is because we've only dropped a
//!     // single `Rc<Owner>`, not the `Owner` it points to. As long as there are
//!     // other `Rc<Owner>` values pointing at the same `Owner`, it will remain
//!     // allocated. The field projection `gadget1.owner.name` works because
//!     // `Rc<Owner>` automatically dereferences to `Owner`.
//!     println!("Gadget {} owned by {}", gadget1.id, gadget1.owner.name);
//!     println!("Gadget {} owned by {}", gadget2.id, gadget2.owner.name);
//!
//!     // At the end of the function, `gadget1` and `gadget2` are destroyed, and
//!     // with them the last counted references to our `Owner`. Gadget Man now
//!     // gets destroyed as well.
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! If our requirements change, and we also need to be able to traverse from
//! `Owner` to `Gadget`, we will run into problems. An `Rc` pointer from `Owner`
//! to `Gadget` introduces a cycle between the values. This means that their
//! reference counts can never reach 0, and the values will remain allocated
//! forever: a memory leak. In order to get around this, we can use `Weak`
//! pointers.
//!
//! Rust actually makes it somewhat difficult to produce this loop in the first
//! place. In order to end up with two values that point at each other, one of
//! them needs to be mutable. This is difficult because `Rc` enforces
//! memory safety by only giving out shared references to the value it wraps,
//! and these don't allow direct mutation. We need to wrap the part of the
//! value we wish to mutate in a [`RefCell`][refcell], which provides *interior
//! mutability*: a method to achieve mutability through a shared reference.
//! `RefCell` enforces Rust's borrowing rules at runtime.
//!
//! ```
//! use std::rc::Rc;
//! use std::rc::Weak;
//! use std::cell::RefCell;
//!
//! struct Owner {
//!     name: String,
//!     gadgets: RefCell<Vec<Weak<Gadget>>>,
//!     // ...other fields
//! }
//!
//! struct Gadget {
//!     id: i32,
//!     owner: Rc<Owner>,
//!     // ...other fields
//! }
//!
//! fn main() {
//!     // Create a reference-counted `Owner`. Note that we've put the `Owner`'s
//!     // vector of `Gadget`s inside a `RefCell` so that we can mutate it through
//!     // a shared reference.
//!     let gadget_owner: Rc<Owner> = Rc::new(
//!         Owner {
//!             name: "Gadget Man".to_string(),
//!             gadgets: RefCell::new(vec![]),
//!         }
//!     );
//!
//!     // Create `Gadget`s belonging to `gadget_owner`, as before.
//!     let gadget1 = Rc::new(
//!         Gadget {
//!             id: 1,
//!             owner: gadget_owner.clone(),

//!
//!     // Add the `Gadget`s to their `Owner`.
//!     {

//!         gadgets.push(Rc::downgrade(&gadget1));
//!         gadgets.push(Rc::downgrade(&gadget2));
//!
//!         // `RefCell` dynamic borrow ends here.

//!         // guarantee the value is still allocated, we need to call
//!         // `upgrade`, which returns an `Option<Rc<Gadget>>`.
//!         //
//!         // In this case we know the value still exists, so we simply
//!         // `unwrap` the `Option`. In a more complicated program, you might
