pub struct ArcBorrow<'a, T: ?Sized + 'a>(/* private fields */);Expand description
A “borrowed Arc”. This is a pointer to
a T that is known to have been allocated within an
Arc.
This is equivalent in guarantees to &Arc<T>, however it is
a bit more flexible. To obtain an &Arc<T> you must have
an Arc<T> instance somewhere pinned down until we’re done with it.
It’s also a direct pointer to T, so using this involves less pointer-chasing
However, C++ code may hand us refcounted things as pointers to T directly,
so we have to conjure up a temporary Arc on the stack each time. The
same happens for when the object is managed by a OffsetArc.
ArcBorrow lets us deal with borrows of known-refcounted objects
without needing to worry about where the Arc<T> is.
Implementations§
Source§impl<'a, T> ArcBorrow<'a, T>
impl<'a, T> ArcBorrow<'a, T>
Sourcepub unsafe fn from_ptr(ptr: *const T) -> Self
pub unsafe fn from_ptr(ptr: *const T) -> Self
For constructing from a pointer known to be Arc-backed, e.g. if we obtain such a pointer over FFI
§Safety
- The pointer to
Tmust have come from a TriompheArc,UniqueArc, orArcBorrow. - The pointer to
Tmust have full provenance over theArc,UniqueArc, orArcBorrow, in particular it must not have been derived from a&Treference, as references immediately loose all provenance over the adjacent reference counts. As of this writing, of the 3 types, only Trimphe’sArcoffers a direct API for obtaining such a pointer:Arc::as_ptr.
Sourcepub fn ptr_eq(this: &Self, other: &Self) -> bool
pub fn ptr_eq(this: &Self, other: &Self) -> bool
Compare two ArcBorrows via pointer equality. Will only return
true if they come from the same allocation
Sourcepub fn strong_count(this: &Self) -> usize
pub fn strong_count(this: &Self) -> usize
The reference count of the underlying Arc.
The number does not include borrowed pointers,
or temporary Arc pointers created with functions like
ArcBorrow::with_arc.
The function is called strong_count to mirror std::sync::Arc::strong_count,
however triomphe::Arc does not support weak references.
