range-lock - Multithread range lock for Vec
===========================================
`https://bues.ch/ <https://bues.ch/>`_
Provides multi-threaded access to a single Vec<T> instance. Any thread can atomically request access to a slice of the Vec. Such access is granted, if no other thread is simultaneously holding the right to access an overlapping slice.
Usage
=====
Add this to your Cargo.toml:
.. code:: toml
[dependencies]
range-lock = "0.1"
Example usage:
.. code:: rust
extern crate range_lock;
use range_lock::RangeLock;
use std::sync::{Arc, Barrier};
use std::thread;
// The data that will simultaneously be accessed from the threads.
let data = vec![10, 11, 12, 13];
// Embed the data in a RangeLock
// and clone atomic references to it for the threads.
let data_lock0 = Arc::new(RangeLock::new(data));
let data_lock1 = Arc::clone(&data_lock0);
let data_lock2 = Arc::clone(&data_lock0);
// Thread barrier, only for demonstration purposes.
let barrier0 = Arc::new(Barrier::new(2));
let barrier1 = Arc::clone(&barrier0);
// Spawn first thread.
let thread0 = thread::spawn(move || {
{
let mut guard = data_lock0.try_lock(0..2).expect("T0: Failed to lock 0..2");
guard[0] = 100; // Write to data[0]
}
barrier0.wait(); // Synchronize with second thread.
{
let guard = data_lock0.try_lock(2..4).expect("T0: Failed to lock 2..4");
assert_eq!(guard[0], 200); // Read from data[2]
}
});
// Spawn second thread.
let thread1 = thread::spawn(move || {
{
let mut guard = data_lock1.try_lock(2..4).expect("T1: Failed to lock 2..4");
guard[0] = 200; // Write to data[2]
}
barrier1.wait(); // Synchronize with first thread.
{
let guard = data_lock1.try_lock(0..2).expect("T1: Failed to lock 0..2");
assert_eq!(guard[0], 100); // Read from data[0]
}
});
// Wait for both threads to finish and check result.
thread0.join().expect("Thread 0 failed");
thread1.join().expect("Thread 1 failed");
// Unwrap the data from the lock.
let data = Arc::try_unwrap(data_lock2).expect("Arc unwrap failed").into_inner();
// Check the data that has been modified by the threads.
assert_eq!(data, vec![100, 11, 200, 13]);
TODO
====
The API of range-lock is currently very simple and only provides the bare minimum.
The following new features might be candidates for future releases:
* Optimize the range overlap search algorithm.
* Sleeping lock, in case of lock contention.
* Add support for arrays.
* Add support for non-Vec/array iterables?
