Struct async_lock::RwLock

pub struct RwLock<T: ?Sized> { /* private fields */ }

An async reader-writer lock.

This type of lock allows multiple readers or one writer at any point in time.

The locking strategy is write-preferring, which means writers are never starved. Releasing a write lock wakes the next blocked reader and the next blocked writer.

Examples

use async_lock::RwLock;

let lock = RwLock::new(5);

// Multiple read locks can be held at a time.
let r1 = lock.read().await;
let r2 = lock.read().await;
assert_eq!(*r1, 5);
assert_eq!(*r2, 5);
drop((r1, r2));

// Only one write lock can be held at a time.
let mut w = lock.write().await;
*w += 1;
assert_eq!(*w, 6);

Implementations

impl<T> RwLock<T>

pub const fn new(t: T) -> RwLock<T>

Creates a new reader-writer lock.

Examples

use async_lock::RwLock;

let lock = RwLock::new(0);

pub fn into_inner(self) -> T

Unwraps the lock and returns the inner value.

Examples

use async_lock::RwLock;

let lock = RwLock::new(5);
assert_eq!(lock.into_inner(), 5);

pub fn try_read_arc(self: &Arc<Self>) -> Option<RwLockReadGuardArc<T>>

Attempts to acquire an an owned, reference-counted read lock.

If a read lock could not be acquired at this time, then None is returned. Otherwise, a guard is returned that releases the lock when dropped.

Examples

use std::sync::Arc;
use async_lock::RwLock;

let lock = Arc::new(RwLock::new(1));

let reader = lock.read_arc().await;
assert_eq!(*reader, 1);

assert!(lock.try_read_arc().is_some());

pub fn read_arc<'a>(self: &'a Arc<Self>) -> ReadArc<'a, T>

Acquires an owned, reference-counted read lock.

Returns a guard that releases the lock when dropped.

Note that attempts to acquire a read lock will block if there are also concurrent attempts to acquire a write lock.

Examples

use std::sync::Arc;
use async_lock::RwLock;

let lock = Arc::new(RwLock::new(1));

let reader = lock.read_arc().await;
assert_eq!(*reader, 1);

assert!(lock.try_read_arc().is_some());

pub fn read_arc_blocking(self: &Arc<Self>) -> RwLockReadGuardArc<T>

Acquires an owned, reference-counted read lock.

Returns a guard that releases the lock when dropped.

Note that attempts to acquire a read lock will block if there are also concurrent attempts to acquire a write lock.

Blocking

Rather than using asynchronous waiting, like the read_arc method, this method will block the current thread until the read lock is acquired.

This method should not be used in an asynchronous context. It is intended to be used in a way that a lock can be used in both asynchronous and synchronous contexts. Calling this method in an asynchronous context may result in a deadlock.

Examples

use std::sync::Arc;
use async_lock::RwLock;

let lock = Arc::new(RwLock::new(1));

let reader = lock.read_arc_blocking();
assert_eq!(*reader, 1);

assert!(lock.try_read().is_some());

impl<T: ?Sized> RwLock<T>

pub fn try_read(&self) -> Option<RwLockReadGuard<'_, T>>

Attempts to acquire a read lock.

If a read lock could not be acquired at this time, then None is returned. Otherwise, a guard is returned that releases the lock when dropped.

Examples

use async_lock::RwLock;

let lock = RwLock::new(1);

let reader = lock.read().await;
assert_eq!(*reader, 1);

assert!(lock.try_read().is_some());

pub fn read(&self) -> Read<'_, T>

Acquires a read lock.

Returns a guard that releases the lock when dropped.

Note that attempts to acquire a read lock will block if there are also concurrent attempts to acquire a write lock.

Examples

use async_lock::RwLock;

let lock = RwLock::new(1);

let reader = lock.read().await;
assert_eq!(*reader, 1);

assert!(lock.try_read().is_some());

pub fn read_blocking(&self) -> RwLockReadGuard<'_, T>

Acquires a read lock.

Returns a guard that releases the lock when dropped.

Note that attempts to acquire a read lock will block if there are also concurrent attempts to acquire a write lock.

pub fn try_upgradable_read(&self) -> Option<RwLockUpgradableReadGuard<'_, T>>

Attempts to acquire a read lock with the possiblity to upgrade to a write lock.

If a read lock could not be acquired at this time, then None is returned. Otherwise, a guard is returned that releases the lock when dropped.

Upgradable read lock reserves the right to be upgraded to a write lock, which means there can be at most one upgradable read lock at a time.

Examples

use async_lock::{RwLock, RwLockUpgradableReadGuard};

let lock = RwLock::new(1);

let reader = lock.upgradable_read().await;
assert_eq!(*reader, 1);
assert_eq!(*lock.try_read().unwrap(), 1);

let mut writer = RwLockUpgradableReadGuard::upgrade(reader).await;
*writer = 2;

pub fn upgradable_read(&self) -> UpgradableRead<'_, T>

Acquires a read lock with the possiblity to upgrade to a write lock.

Returns a guard that releases the lock when dropped.

Upgradable read lock reserves the right to be upgraded to a write lock, which means there can be at most one upgradable read lock at a time.

Note that attempts to acquire an upgradable read lock will block if there are concurrent attempts to acquire another upgradable read lock or a write lock.

Examples

use async_lock::{RwLock, RwLockUpgradableReadGuard};

let lock = RwLock::new(1);

let reader = lock.upgradable_read().await;
assert_eq!(*reader, 1);
assert_eq!(*lock.try_read().unwrap(), 1);

let mut writer = RwLockUpgradableReadGuard::upgrade(reader).await;
*writer = 2;
