1//! # The Rust core allocation and collections library
2//!
3//! This library provides smart pointers and collections for managing
4//! heap-allocated values.
5//!
6//! This library, like core, normally doesn’t need to be used directly
7//! since its contents are re-exported in the [`std` crate](../std/index.html).
8//! Crates that use the `#![no_std]` attribute however will typically
9//! not depend on `std`, so they’d use this crate instead.
10//!
11//! ## Boxed values
12//!
13//! The [`Box`] type is a smart pointer type. There can only be one owner of a
14//! [`Box`], and the owner can decide to mutate the contents, which live on the
15//! heap.
16//!
17//! This type can be sent among threads efficiently as the size of a `Box` value
18//! is the same as that of a pointer. Tree-like data structures are often built
19//! with boxes because each node often has only one owner, the parent.
20//!
21//! ## Reference counted pointers
22//!
23//! The [`Rc`] type is a non-threadsafe reference-counted pointer type intended
24//! for sharing memory within a thread. An [`Rc`] pointer wraps a type, `T`, and
25//! only allows access to `&T`, a shared reference.
26//!
27//! This type is useful when inherited mutability (such as using [`Box`]) is too
28//! constraining for an application, and is often paired with the [`Cell`] or
29//! [`RefCell`] types in order to allow mutation.
30//!
31//! ## Atomically reference counted pointers
32//!
33//! The [`Arc`] type is the threadsafe equivalent of the [`Rc`] type. It
34//! provides all the same functionality of [`Rc`], except it requires that the
35//! contained type `T` is shareable. Additionally, [`Arc<T>`][`Arc`] is itself
36//! sendable while [`Rc<T>`][`Rc`] is not.
37//!
38//! This type allows for shared access to the contained data, and is often
39//! paired with synchronization primitives such as mutexes to allow mutation of
40//! shared resources.
41//!
42//! ## Collections
43//!
44//! Implementations of the most common general purpose data structures are
45//! defined in this library. They are re-exported through the
46//! [standard collections library](../std/collections/index.html).
47//!
48//! ## Heap interfaces
49//!
50//! The [`alloc`](alloc/index.html) module defines the low-level interface to the
51//! default global allocator. It is not compatible with the libc allocator API.
52//!
53//! [`Arc`]: sync
54//! [`Box`]: boxed
55//! [`Cell`]: core::cell
56//! [`Rc`]: rc
57//! [`RefCell`]: core::cell
