The WarcRwLock crate is a Rust library that provides a macro attribute for mods, structs, and impls. The purpose of this library is to generate a wrapper that allows the struct to be used with the asynchronous reference control called Arc and the RwLock for asynchronous mutation control.
To use the WarcRwLock crate, add the following dependency to your Cargo.toml:
toml
[dependencies]
warcrwlock = "1.2.0"
Here's a simple example of using WarcRwLock:
```rust
pub struct MyStruct { value: usize, }
impl MyStruct { pub fn new(value : usize) -> Self { Self { value, } }
pub fn reset(&mut self) {
self.value = 0;
}
pub fn value_mut(&mut self) -> &mut usize {
&mut self.value
}
pub fn get_value(&self) -> usize {
self.value
}
//wrapper Method
pub fn plus(a : MyStruct, b : MyStruct) -> MyStruct{
*a.write().unwrap().value_mut() += b.get_value();
a
}
#[wrapper_method]
pub fn get_wrapper_value(&self)-> usize{
self.get_value()
}
pub fn child(&self) -> MyStruct{
MyStruct::new(self.value + 10)
}
} ```
After applying the #[warcrwlock] attribute, the code is transformed into:
```rust pub struct MyStructBase { value: usize, }
impl MyStructBase { pub fn new(value : usize) -> Self { Self { value, } }
fn reset(&mut self) {
self.value = 0;
}
pub fn value_mut(&mut self) -> &mut usize {****
&mut self.value
}
fn get_value(&self) -> usize {
self.value
}
pub fn child(&self) -> MyStructBase{
MyStructBase::new(self.value + 10)
}
}
pub struct MyStruct {
base: Arc
impl MyStruct { pub fn new(value : usize) -> Self { Self { base: Arc::new(RwLock::new(MyStructBase::new(value))), } }
pub fn reset(&mut self) {
self.base.write().unwrap().reset();
}
pub fn get_value(&self) -> usize {
self.base.read().unwrap().get_value()
}
pub fn plus(a : MyStruct, b : MyStruct) -> MyStruct{
*a.write().unwrap().value_mut() = b.get_value();
a
}
pub fn get_wrapper_value(&self)-> usize{
self.get_value()
}
pub fn child(&self) -> MyStruct{
MyStruct {
base: Arc::new(RwLock::new(self.child())),
}
}
}
impl MyStruct { pub fn read(&self) -> RwLockReadGuard<'_, MyStructBase> { self.base.read().unwrap() }
pub fn write(&self) -> RwLockWriteGuard<'_, MyStructBase> {
self.base.write().unwrap()
}
}
impl Clone for MyStruct { fn clone(&self) -> Self { Self { base: self.base.clone(), } } }
unsafe impl Send for MyStruct {} unsafe impl Sync for MyStruct {} ```
After using the #[warcrwlock] attribute, the MyStruct will be automatically rewritten with the addition of a base field containing an Arc<RwLock<MyStructBase>>. The functions of MyStruct will then be implemented to safely access the base field.
Update(1.1.0): Methods with parameters of the same type as the presented structure can now be freely implemented.Update(1.2.0): Added Wrapper Methods and allowed all types of methods with Self return.Wrapper Methods
This type of method happens for two reasons: when the method has parameters of type Self or when the wrapper_attribute attribute is added.
Similar to the methods in RwLock<T>, these functions are used to lock the usage and gain access to read or write functions, as shown in the example below:
rust
fn main() {
use my_module::MyStruct;
let mut a = MyStruct::new();
*a.write().unwrap().value_mut() = 10;
assert_eq!(a.read().unwrap().get_value(), 10);
let a = MyStruct::plus(a, MyStruct::new(50));
assert_eq!(a.read().unwrap().get_value(), 60);
}
You can simplify the use of #[warcrwlock] by placing it as an attribute for the module, which will have the same effect as in the previous example:
```rust
use warcrwlock::warcrwlock;
mod my_module { /// other mods, structs, and/or impls... } ```
When used on a module, all structs, impls, and mods will be included, with exceptions.
The use of the attribute may not work well with other attributes.
