Rust

//! Shareable mutable containers.
//!
//! Rust memory safety is based on this rule: Given an object `T`, it is only possible to
//! have one of the following:
//!
//! - Having several immutable references (`&T`) to the object (also known as **aliasing**).
//! - Having one mutable reference (`&mut T`) to the object (also known as **mutability**).
//!
//! This is enforced by the Rust compiler. However, there are situations where this rule is not
//! flexible enough. Sometimes it is required to have multiple references to an object and yet
//! mutate it.
//!
//! Shareable mutable containers exist to permit mutability in a controlled manner, even in the
//! presence of aliasing. Both `Cell<T>` and `RefCell<T>` allow doing this in a single-threaded
//! way. However, neither `Cell<T>` nor `RefCell<T>` are thread safe (they do not implement
//! `Sync`). If you need to do aliasing and mutation between multiple threads it is possible to
//! use [`Mutex`](../../std/sync/struct.Mutex.html),
//! [`RwLock`](../../std/sync/struct.RwLock.html) or
//! [`atomic`](../../core/sync/atomic/index.html) types.
//!
//! Values of the `Cell<T>` and `RefCell<T>` types may be mutated through shared references (i.e.
//! the common `&T` type), whereas most Rust types can only be mutated through unique (`&mut T`)
//! references. We say that `Cell<T>` and `RefCell<T>` provide 'interior mutability', in contrast
//! with typical Rust types that exhibit 'inherited mutability'.
//!
//! Cell types come in two flavors: `Cell<T>` and `RefCell<T>`. `Cell<T>` implements interior
//! mutability by moving values in and out of the `Cell<T>`. To use references instead of values,
//! one must use the `RefCell<T>` type, acquiring a write lock before mutating. `Cell<T>` provides
//! methods to retrieve and change the current interior value:
//!
//! - For types that implement `Copy`, the `get` method retrieves the current interior value.
//! - For types that implement `Default`, the `take` method replaces the current interior value
//! with `Default::default()` and returns the replaced value.
//! - For all types, the `replace` method replaces the current interior value and returns the
//! replaced value and the `into_inner` method consumes the `Cell<T>` and returns the interior
//! value. Additionally, the `set` method replaces the interior value, dropping the replaced
//! value.
//!
//! `RefCell<T>` uses Rust's lifetimes to implement 'dynamic borrowing', a process whereby one can
//! claim temporary, exclusive, mutable access to the inner value. Borrows for `RefCell<T>`s are
//! tracked 'at runtime', unlike Rust's native reference types which are entirely tracked
//! statically, at compile time. Because `RefCell<T>` borrows are dynamic it is possible to attempt
//! to borrow a value that is already mutably borrowed; when this happens it results in thread
//! panic.
//!
//! # When to choose interior mutability
//!
//! The more common inherited mutability, where one must have unique access to mutate a value, is
//! one of the key language elements that enables Rust to reason strongly about pointer aliasing,
//! statically preventing crash bugs. Because of that, inherited mutability is preferred, and
//! interior mutability is something of a last resort. Since cell types enable mutation where it
//! would otherwise be disallowed though, there are occasions when interior mutability might be
//! appropriate, or even *must* be used, e.g.
//!
//! * Introducing mutability 'inside' of something immutable
//! * Implementation details of logically-immutable methods.
//! * Mutating implementations of `Clone`.
//!
//! ## Introducing mutability 'inside' of something immutable
//!
//! Many shared smart pointer types, including `Rc<T>` and `Arc<T>`, provide containers that can be
//! cloned and shared between multiple parties. Because the contained values may be
//! multiply-aliased, they can only be borrowed with `&`, not `&mut`. Without cells it would be
//! impossible to mutate data inside of these smart pointers at all.
//!
//! It's very common then to put a `RefCell<T>` inside shared pointer types to reintroduce
//! mutability:
//!
//! ```
//! use std::cell::{RefCell, RefMut};
//! use std::collections::HashMap;
//! use std::rc::Rc;
//!
//! fn main() {
//! let shared_map: Rc<RefCell<_>> = Rc::new(RefCell::new(HashMap::new()));
//! // Create a new block to limit the scope of the dynamic borrow
//! {
//! let mut map: RefMut<_> = shared_map.borrow_mut();
//! map.insert("africa", 92388);
//! map.insert("kyoto", 11837);
//! map.insert("piccadilly", 11826);
//! map.insert("marbles", 38);
//! }
//!
//! // Note that if we had not let the previous borrow of the cache fall out
//! // of scope then the subsequent borrow would cause a dynamic thread panic.
//! // This is the major hazard of using `RefCell`.
//! let total: i32 = shared_map.borrow().values().sum();
//! println!("{}", total);
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! Note that this example uses `Rc<T>` and not `Arc<T>`. `RefCell<T>`s are for single-threaded
//! scenarios. Consider using `RwLock<T>` or `Mutex<T>` if you need shared mutability in a
//! multi-threaded situation.
//!
//! ## Implementation details of logically-immutable methods
//!
//! Occasionally it may be desirable not to expose in an API that there is mutation happening
//! "under the hood". This may be because logically the operation is immutable, but e.g., caching
//! forces the implementation to perform mutation; or because you must employ mutation to implement
//! a trait method that was originally defined to take `&self`.
//!
//! ```
//! # #![allow(dead_code)]
//! use std::cell::RefCell;
//!
//! struct Graph {
//! edges: Vec<(i32, i32)>,
//! span_tree_cache: RefCell<Option<Vec<(i32, i32)>>>
//! }
//!
//! impl Graph {
//! fn minimum_spanning_tree(&self) -> Vec<(i32, i32)> {
//! self.span_tree_cache.borrow_mut()
//! .get_or_insert_with(|| self.calc_span_tree())
//! .clone()
//! }
//!
//! fn calc_span_tree(&self) -> Vec<(i32, i32)> {
//! // Expensive computation goes here
//! vec![]
//! }
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! ## Mutating implementations of `Clone`
//!
//! This is simply a special - but common - case of the previous: hiding mutability for operations
//! that appear to be immutable. The `clone` method is expected to not change the source value, and
//! is declared to take `&self`, not `&mut self`. Therefore, any mutation that happens in the
//! `clone` method must use cell types. For example, `Rc<T>` maintains its reference counts within a
//! `Cell<T>`.
//!
//! ```
//! use std::cell::Cell;
//! use std::ptr::NonNull;
//! use std::process::abort;
//! use std::marker::PhantomData;
//!
//! struct Rc<T: ?Sized> {
//! ptr: NonNull<RcBox<T>>,
//! phantom: PhantomData<RcBox<T>>,
//! }
//!
//! struct RcBox<T: ?Sized> {
//! strong: Cell<usize>,
//! refcount: Cell<usize>,
//! value: T,
//! }
//!
//! impl<T: ?Sized> Clone for Rc<T> {
//! fn clone(&self) -> Rc<T> {
//! self.inc_strong();
//! Rc {
//! ptr: self.ptr,
//! phantom: PhantomData,
//! }
//! }
//! }
//!
//! trait RcBoxPtr<T: ?Sized> {
//!
//! fn inner(&self) -> &RcBox<T>;
//!
//! fn strong(&self) -> usize {
//! self.inner().strong.get()
//! }
//!
//! fn inc_strong(&self) {
//! self.inner()
//! .strong
//! .set(self.strong()
//! .checked_add(1)
//! .unwrap_or_else(|| abort() ));
//! }
//! }
//!
//! impl<T: ?Sized> RcBoxPtr<T> for Rc<T> {
//! fn inner(&self) -> &RcBox<T> {
//! unsafe {
//! self.ptr.as_ref()
//! }
//! }

/// aliased or mutated, and that `&mut T` is unique. `UnsafeCell<T>` is the only core language
/// feature to work around the restriction that `&T` may not be mutated. All other types that
/// allow internal mutability, such as `Cell<T>` and `RefCell<T>`, use `UnsafeCell` to wrap their
/// internal data. There is *no* legal way to obtain aliasing `&mut`, not even with `UnsafeCell<T>`.
///
/// The `UnsafeCell` API itself is technically very simple: it gives you a raw pointer `*mut T` to
/// its contents. It is up to _you_ as the abstraction designer to use that raw pointer correctly.
///
/// The precise Rust aliasing rules are somewhat in flux, but the main points are not contentious:
///
/// - If you create a safe reference with lifetime `'a` (either a `&T` or `&mut T`
/// reference) that is accessible by safe code (for example, because you returned it),
/// then you must not access the data in any way that contradicts that reference for the
/// remainder of `'a`. For example, this means that if you take the `*mut T` from an
/// `UnsafeCell<T>` and cast it to an `&T`, then the data in `T` must remain immutable
/// (modulo any `UnsafeCell` data found within `T`, of course) until that reference's
/// lifetime expires. Similarly, if you create a `&mut T` reference that is released to
/// safe code, then you must not access the data within the `UnsafeCell` until that
/// reference expires.
///
/// - At all times, you must avoid data races. If multiple threads have access to
/// the same `UnsafeCell`, then any writes must have a proper happens-before relation to all other
/// accesses (or use atomics).
///
/// To assist with proper design, the following scenarios are explicitly declared legal
/// for single-threaded code:
///
/// 1. A `&T` reference can be released to safe code and there it can co-exist with other `&T`
/// references, but not with a `&mut T`
///
/// 2. A `&mut T` reference may be released to safe code provided neither other `&mut T` nor `&T`
/// co-exist with it. A `&mut T` must always be unique.
///
/// Note that while mutating or mutably aliasing the contents of an `&UnsafeCell<T>` is
/// ok (provided you enforce the invariants some other way), it is still undefined behavior
/// to have multiple `&mut UnsafeCell<T>` aliases.
///
