For terms of use, please see the file // called LICENSE at the top level of the ICU4X source tree // (online at: https://github.com/unicode-org/icu4x/blob/main/LICENSE ). //! This crate provides [`Yoke`][Yoke], which allows one to "yoke" (attach) a zero-copy deserialized //! object (say, a [`Cow<'a, str>`](alloc::borrow::Cow)) to the source it was deserialized from, (say, an [`Rc<[u8]>`](alloc::rc::Rc)), //! known in this crate as a "cart", producing a type that looks like `Yoke, Rc<[u8]>>` //! and can be moved around with impunity. //! //! Succinctly, this allows one to "erase" static lifetimes and turn them into dynamic ones, similarly //! to how `dyn` allows one to "erase" static types and turn them into dynamic ones. //! //! Most of the time the yokeable `Y` type will be some kind of zero-copy deserializable //! abstraction, potentially with an owned variant (like [`Cow`](alloc::borrow::Cow), //! [`ZeroVec`](https://docs.rs/zerovec), or an aggregate containing such types), and the cart `C` will be some smart pointer like //! [`Box`](alloc::boxed::Box), [`Rc`](alloc::rc::Rc), or [`Arc`](std::sync::Arc), potentially wrapped in an [`Option`](Option). //! //! The key behind this crate is [`Yoke::get()`], where calling [`.get()`][Yoke::get] on a type like //! `Yoke, _>` will get you a short-lived `&'a Cow<'a, str>`, restricted to the //! lifetime of the borrow used during [`.get()`](Yoke::get). This is entirely safe since the `Cow` borrows from //! the cart type `C`, which cannot be interfered with as long as the `Yoke` is borrowed by [`.get()`](Yoke::get). //! [`.get()`](Yoke::get) protects access by essentially reifying the erased lifetime to a safe local one //! when necessary. //! //! See the documentation of [`Yoke`] for more details. // https://github.com/unicode-org/icu4x/blob/main/docs/process/boilerplate.md#library-annotations #![cfg_attr(all(not(test), not(doc)), no_std)] #![cfg_attr( not(test), deny( clippy::indexing_slicing, clippy::unwrap_used, clippy::expect_used, clippy::panic, clippy::exhaustive_structs, clippy::exhaustive_enums, missing_debug_implementations, ) )] // The lifetimes here are important for safety and explicitly writing // them out is good even when redundant #![allow(clippy::needless_lifetimes)] #[cfg(feature = "alloc")] extern crate alloc; pub mod either; #[cfg(feature = "alloc")] pub mod erased; mod kinda_sorta_dangling; mod macro_impls; pub mod trait_hack; mod yoke; mod yokeable; #[cfg(feature = "zerofrom")] mod zero_from; #[cfg(feature = "derive")] pub use yoke_derive::Yokeable; pub use crate::yoke::{CloneableCart, Yoke}; pub use crate::yokeable::Yokeable; #[cfg(feature = "zerofrom")] use zerofrom::ZeroFrom;
