Important
This repo is a fork of https://github.com/Manishearth/elsa. It supports a crate release which only increment on the original is a sync variant of the FrozenIndexMap
and FrozenIndexSet
data structures, used in Lurk.
This feature was PRed to upstream in Manishearth#67 and this crate should become obsolete if it merges.
๐ต Immutability never bothered me anyway ๐ถ
This crate provides various "frozen" collections.
These are append-only collections where references to entries can be held on to even across insertions. This is safe because these collections only support storing data that's present behind some indirection -- i.e. String
, Vec<T>
, Box<T>
, etc, and they only yield references to the data behind the allocation (&str
, &[T]
, and &T
respectively)
The typical use case is having a global cache of strings or other data which the rest of the program borrows from.
