shred - Shared resource dispatcher

This library allows to dispatch systems, which can have interdependencies, shared and exclusive resource access, in parallel.

Usage

```rust extern crate shred;

use shred::{DispatcherBuilder, Read, Resource, Resources, System, Write};

[derive(Debug, Default)]

struct ResA;

[derive(Debug, Default)]

struct ResB;

struct PrintSystem;

// Systems should be generic over the // context if possible, so it's easy // to introduce one. impl<'a> System<'a> for PrintSystem { type SystemData = (Read<'a, ResA>, Write<'a, ResB>);

fn run(&mut self, data: Self::SystemData) {
    let (a, mut b) = data;

    println!("{:?}", &*a);
    println!("{:?}", &*b);

    *b = ResB; // We can mutate ResB here
    // because it's `FetchMut`.
}

}

fn main() { let mut resources = Resources::new(); let mut dispatcher = DispatcherBuilder::new() .with(PrintSystem, "print", &[]) // Adds a system "print" without dependencies .build(); //resources.add(ResA); (We don't need to add ResA, a default value will be instantiated) resources.insert(ResB);

dispatcher.dispatch(&mut resources);

} ```

Please see the benchmark for a bigger (and useful) example.
