Struct spin::mutex::Mutex

source ·
pub struct Mutex<T: ?Sized, R = Spin> { /* private fields */ }
Available on crate feature mutex only.
Expand description

A spin-based lock providing mutually exclusive access to data.

The implementation uses either a ticket mutex or a regular spin mutex depending on whether the spin_mutex or ticket_mutex feature flag is enabled.

§Example

use spin;

let lock = spin::Mutex::new(0);

// Modify the data
*lock.lock() = 2;

// Read the data
let answer = *lock.lock();
assert_eq!(answer, 2);

§Thread safety example

use spin;
use std::sync::{Arc, Barrier};

let thread_count = 1000;
let spin_mutex = Arc::new(spin::Mutex::new(0));

// We use a barrier to ensure the readout happens after all writing
let barrier = Arc::new(Barrier::new(thread_count + 1));

for _ in (0..thread_count) {
    let my_barrier = barrier.clone();
    let my_lock = spin_mutex.clone();
    std::thread::spawn(move || {
        let mut guard = my_lock.lock();
        *guard += 1;

        // Release the lock to prevent a deadlock
        drop(guard);
        my_barrier.wait();
    });
}

barrier.wait();

let answer = { *spin_mutex.lock() };
assert_eq!(answer, thread_count);

Implementations§

source§

impl<T, R> Mutex<T, R>

source

pub const fn new(value: T) -> Self

Creates a new Mutex wrapping the supplied data.

§Example
use spin::Mutex;

static MUTEX: Mutex<()> = Mutex::new(());

fn demo() {
    let lock = MUTEX.lock();
    // do something with lock
    drop(lock);
}
source

pub fn into_inner(self) -> T

Consumes this Mutex and unwraps the underlying data.

§Example
let lock = spin::Mutex::new(42);
assert_eq!(42, lock.into_inner());
source§

impl<T: ?Sized, R: RelaxStrategy> Mutex<T, R>

source

pub fn lock(&self) -> MutexGuard<'_, T>

Locks the Mutex and returns a guard that permits access to the inner data.

The returned value may be dereferenced for data access and the lock will be dropped when the guard falls out of scope.

let lock = spin::Mutex::new(0);
{
    let mut data = lock.lock();
    // The lock is now locked and the data can be accessed
    *data += 1;
    // The lock is implicitly dropped at the end of the scope
}
source§

impl<T: ?Sized, R> Mutex<T, R>

source

pub fn is_locked(&self) -> bool

Returns true if the lock is currently held.

§Safety

This function provides no synchronization guarantees and so its result should be considered ‘out of date’ the instant it is called. Do not use it for synchronization purposes. However, it may be useful as a heuristic.

source

pub unsafe fn force_unlock(&self)

Force unlock this Mutex.

§Safety

This is extremely unsafe if the lock is not held by the current thread. However, this can be useful in some instances for exposing the lock to FFI that doesn’t know how to deal with RAII.

source

pub fn try_lock(&self) -> Option<MutexGuard<'_, T>>

Try to lock this Mutex, returning a lock guard if successful.

§Example
let lock = spin::Mutex::new(42);

let maybe_guard = lock.try_lock();
assert!(maybe_guard.is_some());

// `maybe_guard` is still held, so the second call fails
let maybe_guard2 = lock.try_lock();
assert!(maybe_guard2.is_none());
source

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

Returns a mutable reference to the underlying data.

Since this call borrows the Mutex mutably, and a mutable reference is guaranteed to be exclusive in Rust, no actual locking needs to take place – the mutable borrow statically guarantees no locks exist. As such, this is a ‘zero-cost’ operation.

§Example
let mut lock = spin::Mutex::new(0);
*lock.get_mut() = 10;
assert_eq!(*lock.lock(), 10);
