# An owning reference.

This crate provides the _owning reference_ types `OwningRef` and `OwningRefMut`
that enables it to bundle a reference together with the owner of the data it points to.
This allows moving and dropping of a `OwningRef` without needing to recreate the reference.

This can sometimes be useful because Rust borrowing rules normally prevent
moving a type that has been moved from. For example, this kind of code gets rejected:

```compile_fail,E0515
fn return_owned_and_referenced<'a>() -> (Vec<u8>, &'a [u8]) {
    let v = vec![1, 2, 3, 4];
    let s = &v[1..3];
    (v, s)
}
```

Even though, from a memory-layout point of view, this can be entirely safe
if the new location of the vector still lives longer than the lifetime `'a`
of the reference because the backing allocation of the vector does not change.

This library enables this safe usage by keeping the owner and the reference
bundled together in a wrapper type that ensure that lifetime constraint:

```rust
# extern crate owning_ref;
# use owning_ref::OwningRef;
# fn main() {
fn return_owned_and_referenced() -> OwningRef<Vec<u8>, [u8]> {
    let v = vec![1, 2, 3, 4];
    let or = OwningRef::new(v);
    let or = or.map(|v| &v[1..3]);
    or
}
# }
```

It works by requiring owner types to dereference to stable memory locations
and preventing mutable access to root containers, which in practice requires heap allocation
as provided by `Box<T>`, `Rc<T>`, etc.

Also provided are typedefs for common owner type combinations,
which allow for less verbose type signatures.
For example, `BoxRef<T>` instead of `OwningRef<Box<T>, T>`.

The crate also provides the more advanced `OwningHandle` type,
which allows more freedom in bundling a dependent handle object
along with the data it depends on, at the cost of some unsafe needed in the API.
See the documentation around `OwningHandle` for more details.

# Examples

## Basics

```
extern crate owning_ref;
use owning_ref::BoxRef;

fn main() {
    // Create an array owned by a Box.
    let arr = Box::new([1, 2, 3, 4]) as Box<[i32]>;

    // Transfer into a BoxRef.
    let arr: BoxRef<[i32]> = BoxRef::new(arr);
    assert_eq!(&*arr, &[1, 2, 3, 4]);

    // We can slice the array without losing ownership or changing type.
    let arr: BoxRef<[i32]> = arr.map(|arr| &arr[1..3]);
    assert_eq!(&*arr, &[2, 3]);

    // Also works for Arc, Rc, String and Vec!
}
```

## Caching a reference to a struct field

```
extern crate owning_ref;
use owning_ref::BoxRef;

fn main() {
    struct Foo {
        tag: u32,
        x: u16,
        y: u16,
        z: u16,
    }
    let foo = Foo { tag: 1, x: 100, y: 200, z: 300 };

    let or = BoxRef::new(Box::new(foo)).map(|foo| {
        match foo.tag {
            0 => &foo.x,
            1 => &foo.y,
            2 => &foo.z,
            _ => panic!(),
        }
    });

    assert_eq!(*or, 200);
}
```

## Caching a reference to an entry in a vector

```
extern crate owning_ref;
use owning_ref::VecRef;

fn main() {
    let v = VecRef::new(vec![1, 2, 3, 4, 5]).map(|v| &v[3]);
    assert_eq!(*v, 4);
}
```

## Caching a subslice of a String

```
extern crate owning_ref;
use owning_ref::StringRef;

fn main() {
    let s = StringRef::new("hello world".to_owned())
        .map(|s| s.split(' ').nth(1).unwrap());

    assert_eq!(&*s, "world");
}
```

## Reference counted slices that share ownership of the backing storage

```
extern crate owning_ref;
use owning_ref::RcRef;
use std::rc::Rc;

fn main() {
    let rc: RcRef<[i32]> = RcRef::new(Rc::new([1, 2, 3, 4]) as Rc<[i32]>);
    assert_eq!(&*rc, &[1, 2, 3, 4]);

    let rc_a: RcRef<[i32]> = rc.clone().map(|s| &s[0..2]);
    let rc_b = rc.clone().map(|s| &s[1..3]);
    let rc_c = rc.clone().map(|s| &s[2..4]);
    assert_eq!(&*rc_a, &[1, 2]);
    assert_eq!(&*rc_b, &[2, 3]);
    assert_eq!(&*rc_c, &[3, 4]);

    let rc_c_a = rc_c.clone().map(|s| &s[1]);
    assert_eq!(&*rc_c_a, &4);
}
```

## Atomic reference counted slices that share ownership of the backing storage

```
extern crate owning_ref;
use owning_ref::ArcRef;
use std::sync::Arc;

fn main() {
    use std::thread;

    fn par_sum(rc: ArcRef<[i32]>) -> i32 {
        if rc.len() == 0 {
            return 0;
        } else if rc.len() == 1 {
            return rc[0];
        }
        let mid = rc.len() / 2;
        let left = rc.clone().map(|s| &s[..mid]);
        let right = rc.map(|s| &s[mid..]);

        let left = thread::spawn(move || par_sum(left));
        let right = thread::spawn(move || par_sum(right));

        left.join().unwrap() + right.join().unwrap()
    }

    let rc: Arc<[i32]> = Arc::new([1, 2, 3, 4]);
    let rc: ArcRef<[i32]> = rc.into();

    assert_eq!(par_sum(rc), 10);
}
```

## References into RAII locks

```
extern crate owning_ref;
use owning_ref::RefRef;
use std::cell::{RefCell, Ref};

fn main() {
    let refcell = RefCell::new((1, 2, 3, 4));
    // Also works with Mutex and RwLock

    let refref = {
        let refref = RefRef::new(refcell.borrow()).map(|x| &x.3);
        assert_eq!(*refref, 4);

        // We move the RAII lock and the reference to one of
        // the subfields in the data it guards here:
        refref
    };

    assert_eq!(*refref, 4);

    drop(refref);

    assert_eq!(*refcell.borrow(), (1, 2, 3, 4));
}
```

## Mutable reference

When the owned container implements `DerefMut`, it is also possible to make
a _mutable owning reference_. (e.g., with `Box`, `RefMut`, `MutexGuard`)

```
extern crate owning_ref;
use owning_ref::RefMutRefMut;
use std::cell::{RefCell, RefMut};

fn main() {
    let refcell = RefCell::new((1, 2, 3, 4));

    let mut refmut_refmut = {
        let mut refmut_refmut = RefMutRefMut::new(refcell.borrow_mut()).map_mut(|x| &mut x.3);
        assert_eq!(*refmut_refmut, 4);
        *refmut_refmut *= 2;

        refmut_refmut
    };

    assert_eq!(*refmut_refmut, 8);
    *refmut_refmut *= 2;

    drop(refmut_refmut);

    assert_eq!(*refcell.borrow(), (1, 2, 3, 16));
}
```
