Struct TakeCell

pub struct TakeCell<'a, T>
where
    T: 'a + ?Sized,
{ /* private fields */ }

A shared reference to a mutable reference.

A TakeCell wraps potential reference to mutable memory that may be available at a given point. Rather than enforcing borrow rules at compile-time, TakeCell enables multiple clients to hold references to it, but ensures that only one referrer has access to the underlying mutable reference at a time. Clients either move the memory out of the TakeCell or operate on a borrow within a closure. Attempts to take the value from inside a TakeCell may fail by returning None.

Implementations

impl<'a, T> TakeCell<'a, T>

where T: ?Sized,

pub const fn empty() -> TakeCell<'a, T>

pub fn new(value: &'a mut T) -> TakeCell<'a, T>

Creates a new TakeCell containing value

pub fn is_none(&self) -> bool

pub fn is_some(&self) -> bool

pub fn take(&self) -> Option<&'a mut T>

Takes the mutable reference out of the TakeCell leaving a None in it’s place. If the value has already been taken elsewhere (and not replaceed), the returned Option will be empty.

Examples

extern crate tock_cells;
use tock_cells::take_cell::TakeCell;

let mut value = 1234;
let cell = TakeCell::new(&mut value);
let x = &cell;
let y = &cell;

x.take();
assert_eq!(y.take(), None);

pub fn put(&self, val: Option<&'a mut T>)

Stores val in the TakeCell

pub fn replace(&self, val: &'a mut T) -> Option<&'a mut T>

Replaces the contents of the TakeCell with val. If the cell was not empty, the previous value is returned, otherwise None is returned.

pub fn get_mut(&mut self) -> Option<&mut T>

Retrieves a mutable reference to the inner value that only lives as long as the reference to this does.

This escapes the “take” aspect of TakeCell in a way which is guaranteed safe due to the returned reference sharing the lifetime of &mut self.

pub fn map<F, R>(&self, closure: F) -> Option<R>

where F: FnOnce(&mut T) -> R,

Allows closure to borrow the contents of the TakeCell if-and-only-if it is not taken already. The state of the TakeCell is unchanged after the closure completes.

Examples

extern crate tock_cells;
use tock_cells::take_cell::TakeCell;

let mut value = 1234;
let cell = TakeCell::new(&mut value);
let x = &cell;
let y = &cell;

x.map(|value| {
    // We have mutable access to the value while in the closure
    *value += 1;
});

// After the closure completes, the mutable memory is still in the cell,
// but potentially changed.
assert_eq!(y.take(), Some(&mut 1235));

pub fn map_or<F, R>(&self, default: R, closure: F) -> R

where F: FnOnce(&mut T) -> R,

Performs a map or returns a default value if the TakeCell is empty

pub fn map_or_else<U, D, F>(&self, default: D, f: F) -> U

where D: FnOnce() -> U, F: FnOnce(&mut T) -> U,

Performs a map or generates a value with the default closure if the TakeCell is empty

pub fn and_then<F, R>(&self, closure: F) -> Option<R>

where F: FnOnce(&mut T) -> Option<R>,

Behaves the same as map, except the closure is allowed to return an Option.

pub fn modify_or_replace<F, G>(&self, modify: F, mkval: G)

where F: FnOnce(&mut T), G: FnOnce() -> &'a mut T,

Uses the first closure (modify) to modify the value in the TakeCell if it is present, otherwise, fills the TakeCell with the result of mkval.
