Type Alias futures_util::stream::LocalBoxStream

pub type LocalBoxStream<'a, T> = Pin<Box<dyn Stream<Item = T> + 'a, Global>>;

Aliased Type

struct LocalBoxStream<'a, T> { /* private fields */ }

Implementations

impl<P> Pin<P>where P: Deref, <P as Deref>::Target: Unpin,

pub fn new(pointer: P) -> Pin<P>

Construct a new Pin<P> around a pointer to some data of a type that implements Unpin.

Unlike Pin::new_unchecked, this method is safe because the pointer P dereferences to an Unpin type, which cancels the pinning guarantees.

Examples

use std::pin::Pin;

let mut val: u8 = 5;
// We can pin the value, since it doesn't care about being moved
let mut pinned: Pin<&mut u8> = Pin::new(&mut val);

pub fn into_inner(pin: Pin<P>) -> P

Unwraps this Pin<P> returning the underlying pointer.

This requires that the data inside this Pin implements Unpin so that we can ignore the pinning invariants when unwrapping it.

Examples

use std::pin::Pin;

let mut val: u8 = 5;
let pinned: Pin<&mut u8> = Pin::new(&mut val);
// Unwrap the pin to get a reference to the value
let r = Pin::into_inner(pinned);
assert_eq!(*r, 5);

impl<P> Pin<P>where P: Deref,

pub unsafe fn new_unchecked(pointer: P) -> Pin<P>

Construct a new Pin<P> around a reference to some data of a type that may or may not implement Unpin.

If pointer dereferences to an Unpin type, Pin::new should be used instead.

Safety

This constructor is unsafe because we cannot guarantee that the data pointed to by pointer is pinned, meaning that the data will not be moved or its storage invalidated until it gets dropped. If the constructed Pin<P> does not guarantee that the data P points to is pinned, that is a violation of the API contract and may lead to undefined behavior in later (safe) operations.

By using this method, you are making a promise about the P::Deref and P::DerefMut implementations, if they exist. Most importantly, they must not move out of their self arguments: Pin::as_mut and Pin::as_ref will call DerefMut::deref_mut and Deref::deref on the pinned pointer and expect these methods to uphold the pinning invariants. Moreover, by calling this method you promise that the reference P dereferences to will not be moved out of again; in particular, it must not be possible to obtain a &mut P::Target and then move out of that reference (using, for example mem::swap).

For example, calling Pin::new_unchecked on an &'a mut T is unsafe because while you are able to pin it for the given lifetime 'a, you have no control over whether it is kept pinned once 'a ends:

use std::mem;
use std::pin::Pin;

fn move_pinned_ref<T>(mut a: T, mut b: T) {
    unsafe {
        let p: Pin<&mut T> = Pin::new_unchecked(&mut a);
        // This should mean the pointee `a` can never move again.
    }
    mem::swap(&mut a, &mut b); // Potential UB down the road ⚠️
    // The address of `a` changed to `b`'s stack slot, so `a` got moved even
    // though we have previously pinned it! We have violated the pinning API contract.
}

A value, once pinned, must remain pinned until it is dropped (unless its type implements Unpin). Because Pin<&mut T> does not own the value, dropping the Pin will not drop the value and will not end the pinning contract. So moving the value after dropping the Pin<&mut T> is still a violation of the API contract.

Similarly, calling Pin::new_unchecked on an Rc<T> is unsafe because there could be aliases to the same data that are not subject to the pinning restrictions:

use std::rc::Rc;
use std::pin::Pin;

fn move_pinned_rc<T>(mut x: Rc<T>) {
    let pinned = unsafe { Pin::new_unchecked(Rc::clone(&x)) };
    {
        let p: Pin<&T> = pinned.as_ref();
        // This should mean the pointee can never move again.
    }
    drop(pinned);
    let content = Rc::get_mut(&mut x).unwrap(); // Potential UB down the road ⚠️
    // Now, if `x` was the only reference, we have a mutable reference to
    // data that we pinned above, which we could use to move it as we have
    // seen in the previous example. We have violated the pinning API contract.
 }

Pinning of closure captures

Particular care is required when using Pin::new_unchecked in a closure: Pin::new_unchecked(&mut var) where var is a by-value (moved) closure capture implicitly makes the promise that the closure itself is pinned, and that all uses of this closure capture respect that pinning.

use std::pin::Pin;
use std::task::Context;
use std::future::Future;

fn move_pinned_closure(mut x: impl Future, cx: &mut Context<'_>) {
    // Create a closure that moves `x`, and then internally uses it in a pinned way.
    let mut closure = move || unsafe {
        let _ignore = Pin::new_unchecked(&mut x).poll(cx);
    };
    // Call the closure, so the future can assume it has been pinned.
    closure();
    // Move the closure somewhere else. This also moves `x`!
    let mut moved = closure;
    // Calling it again means we polled the future from two different locations,
    // violating the pinning API contract.
    moved(); // Potential UB ⚠️
}

When passing a closure to another API, it might be moving the closure any time, so Pin::new_unchecked on closure captures may only be used if the API explicitly documents that the closure is pinned.

The better alternative is to avoid all that trouble and do the pinning in the outer function instead (here using the pin! macro):

use std::pin::pin;
use std::task::Context;
use std::future::Future;

fn move_pinned_closure(mut x: impl Future, cx: &mut Context<'_>) {
    let mut x = pin!(x);
    // Create a closure that captures `x: Pin<&mut _>`, which is safe to move.
    let mut closure = move || {
        let _ignore = x.as_mut().poll(cx);
    };
    // Call the closure, so the future can assume it has been pinned.
    closure();
    // Move the closure somewhere else.
    let mut moved = closure;
    // Calling it again here is fine (except that we might be polling a future that already
    // returned `Poll::Ready`, but that is a separate problem).
    moved();
}

pub fn as_ref(&self) -> Pin<&<P as Deref>::Target>

Gets a pinned shared reference from this pinned pointer.

This is a generic method to go from &Pin<Pointer<T>> to Pin<&T>. It is safe because, as part of the contract of Pin::new_unchecked, the pointee cannot move after Pin<Pointer<T>> got created. “Malicious” implementations of Pointer::Deref are likewise ruled out by the contract of Pin::new_unchecked.

pub unsafe fn into_inner_unchecked(pin: Pin<P>) -> P

Unwraps this Pin<P> returning the underlying pointer.

Safety

This function is unsafe. You must guarantee that you will continue to treat the pointer P as pinned after you call this function, so that the invariants on the Pin type can be upheld. If the code using the resulting P does not continue to maintain the pinning invariants that is a violation of the API contract and may lead to undefined behavior in later (safe) operations.

If the underlying data is Unpin, Pin::into_inner should be used instead.

impl<P> Pin<P>where P: DerefMut,

pub fn as_mut(&mut self) -> Pin<&mut <P as Deref>::Target>

Gets a pinned mutable reference from this pinned pointer.

This is a generic method to go from &mut Pin<Pointer<T>> to Pin<&mut T>. It is safe because, as part of the contract of Pin::new_unchecked, the pointee cannot move after Pin<Pointer<T>> got created. “Malicious” implementations of Pointer::DerefMut are likewise ruled out by the contract of Pin::new_unchecked.

This method is useful when doing multiple calls to functions that consume the pinned type.

Example

use std::pin::Pin;

impl Type {
    fn method(self: Pin<&mut Self>) {
        // do something
    }

    fn call_method_twice(mut self: Pin<&mut Self>) {
        // `method` consumes `self`, so reborrow the `Pin<&mut Self>` via `as_mut`.
        self.as_mut().method();
        self.as_mut().method();
    }
}

pub fn set(&mut self, value: <P as Deref>::Target)where <P as Deref>::Target: Sized,

Assigns a new value to the memory behind the pinned reference.

This overwrites pinned data, but that is okay: its destructor gets run before being overwritten, so no pinning guarantee is violated.

Example

use std::pin::Pin;

let mut val: u8 = 5;
let mut pinned: Pin<&mut u8> = Pin::new(&mut val);
println!("{}", pinned); // 5
pinned.as_mut().set(10);
println!("{}", pinned); // 10
