   3 //! # The Rust core allocation and collections library
   4 //!
   5 //! This library provides smart pointers and collections for managing
   6 //! heap-allocated values.
   7 //!
   8 //! This library, like core, normally doesn’t need to be used directly
   9 //! since its contents are re-exported in the [`std` crate](../std/index.html).
  10 //! Crates that use the `#![no_std]` attribute however will typically
  11 //! not depend on `std`, so they’d use this crate instead.
  12 //!
  13 //! ## Boxed values
  14 //!
  15 //! The [`Box`] type is a smart pointer type. There can only be one owner of a
  16 //! [`Box`], and the owner can decide to mutate the contents, which live on the
  17 //! heap.
  18 //!
  19 //! This type can be sent among threads efficiently as the size of a `Box` value
  20 //! is the same as that of a pointer. Tree-like data structures are often built
  21 //! with boxes because each node often has only one owner, the parent.
  22 //!
  23 //! ## Reference counted pointers
  24 //!
  25 //! The [`Rc`] type is a non-threadsafe reference-counted pointer type intended
  26 //! for sharing memory within a thread. An [`Rc`] pointer wraps a type, `T`, and
  27 //! only allows access to `&T`, a shared reference.
  28 //!
  29 //! This type is useful when inherited mutability (such as using [`Box`]) is too
  30 //! constraining for an application, and is often paired with the [`Cell`] or
  31 //! [`RefCell`] types in order to allow mutation.
  32 //!
  33 //! ## Atomically reference counted pointers
  34 //!
  35 //! The [`Arc`] type is the threadsafe equivalent of the [`Rc`] type. It
  36 //! provides all the same functionality of [`Rc`], except it requires that the
  37 //! contained type `T` is shareable. Additionally, [`Arc<T>`][`Arc`] is itself
  38 //! sendable while [`Rc<T>`][`Rc`] is not.
  39 //!
  40 //! This type allows for shared access to the contained data, and is often
  41 //! paired with synchronization primitives such as mutexes to allow mutation of
  42 //! shared resources.
  43 //!
  44 //! ## Collections
  45 //!
  46 //! Implementations of the most common general purpose data structures are
  47 //! defined in this library. They are re-exported through the
  48 //! [standard collections library](../std/collections/index.html).
  49 //!
  50 //! ## Heap interfaces
  51 //!
  52 //! The [`alloc`](alloc/index.html) module defines the low-level interface to the
  53 //! default global allocator. It is not compatible with the libc allocator API.
  54 //!
  55 //! [`Arc`]: sync
  56 //! [`Box`]: boxed
  57 //! [`Cell`]: core::cell
  58 //! [`Rc`]: rc
  59 //! [`RefCell`]: core::cell
  60
  61 // To run alloc tests without x.py without ending up with two copies of alloc, Miri needs to be
  62 // able to "empty" this crate. See <https://github.com/rust-lang/miri-test-libstd/issues/4>.
  63 // rustc itself never sets the feature, so this line has no effect there.
