3 //! # The Rust core allocation and collections library
5 //! This library provides smart pointers and collections for managing
6 //! heap-allocated values.
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.
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
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.
23 //! ## Reference counted pointers
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.
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.
33 //! ## Atomically reference counted pointers
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.
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
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).
50 //! ## Heap interfaces
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.
57 //! [`Cell`]: core::cell
59 //! [`RefCell`]: core::cell
