An easy-to-support intrusively reference-counting smart pointer.

Installation

Please use cargo-edit to always add the latest version of this library:

cargo add tiptoe --features sync

Features

"sync"

Enables the Arc type, which requires AtomicUsize.

Example

use pin_project::pin_project;
use tiptoe::{IntrusivelyCountable, TipToe};

// All attributes optional.
#[pin_project]
#[derive(Debug, Default, Clone, PartialEq, Eq, PartialOrd, Ord, Hash)]
pub struct A {
    #[pin]
    ref_counter: TipToe,
}

unsafe impl IntrusivelyCountable for A {
    type RefCounter = TipToe;

    fn ref_counter(&self) -> &Self::RefCounter {
        &self.ref_counter
    }
}

fn main() {
    #[cfg(feature = "sync")]
    {
        use tiptoe::Arc;

        let arc = Arc::new(A::default());
        let inner_ref: &A = &arc;

        let another_arc = unsafe {
            Arc::borrow_from_inner_ref(&inner_ref)
        }.clone();
    }
}

Implementation Progress

This library is currently only implemented about as far as I need it for rhizome.

Please have a look at the issues if you'd like to help out.

Notable current omissions: Rc, Weak, and most optimisation that doesn't affect the API.

Versioning

tiptoe strictly follows Semantic Versioning 2.0.0 with the following exceptions:

  • The minor version will not reset to 0 on major version changes (except for v1).
    Consider it the global feature level.
  • The patch version will not reset to 0 on major or minor version changes (except for v0.1 and v1).
    Consider it the global patch level.

This includes the Rust version requirement specified above.
Earlier Rust versions may be compatible, but this can change with minor or patch releases.

Which versions are affected by features and patches can be determined from the respective headings in CHANGELOG.md.

Note that dependencies of this crate may have a more lenient MSRV policy! Please use cargo +nightly update -Z minimal-versions in your automation if you don't generate Cargo.lock manually (or as necessary) and require support for a compiler older than current stable.
