#![deny(unsafe_code)]

//! Abstracting over accessing parts of stored value.
//!
//! Sometimes, there's a big globalish data structure (like a configuration for the whole program).
//! Then there are parts of the program that need access to up-to-date version of their *part* of
//! the configuration, but for reasons of code separation and reusability, it is not desirable to
//! pass the whole configuration to each of the parts.
//!
//! This module provides means to grant the parts access to the relevant subsets of such global
//! data structure while masking the fact it is part of the bigger whole from the component.
//!
//! Note that the [`cache`][crate::cache] module has its own [`Access`][crate::cache::Access] trait
//! that serves a similar purpose, but with cached access. The signatures are different, therefore
//! an incompatible trait.
//!
//! # The general idea
//!
//! Each part of the code accepts generic [`Access<T>`][Access] for the `T` of its interest. This
//! provides means to load current version of the structure behind the scenes and get only the
//! relevant part, without knowing what the big structure is.
//!
//! For technical reasons, the [`Access`] trait is not object safe. If type erasure is desired, it
//! is possible use the [`DynAccess`][crate::access::DynAccess] instead, which is object safe, but
//! slightly slower.
//!
//! For some cases, it is possible to use [`ArcSwapAny::map`]. If that is not flexible enough, the
//! [`Map`] type can be created directly.
//!
//! Note that the [`Access`] trait is also implemented for [`ArcSwapAny`] itself. Additionally,
//! there's the [`Constant`][crate::access::Constant] helper type, which is useful mostly for
//! testing (it doesn't allow reloading).
//!
//! # Performance
//!
//! In general, these utilities use [`ArcSwapAny::load`] internally and then apply the provided
//! transformation. This has several consequences:
//!
//! * Limitations of the [`load`][ArcSwapAny::load] apply ‒ including the recommendation to not
//!   hold the returned guard object for too long, but long enough to get consistency.
//! * The transformation should be cheap ‒ optimally just borrowing into the structure.
//!
//! # Examples
//!
//! ```rust
//! use std::sync::Arc;
//! use std::thread::{self, JoinHandle};
//! use std::time::Duration;
//!
//! use arc_swap::ArcSwap;
//! use arc_swap::access::{Access, Constant, Map};
//!
//! fn work_with_usize<A: Access<usize> + Send + 'static>(a: A) -> JoinHandle<()> {
//!     thread::spawn(move || {
//!         let mut value = 0;
//!         while value != 42 {
//!             let guard = a.load();
//!             value = *guard;
//!             println!("{}", value);
//!             // Not strictly necessary, but dropping the guard can free some resources, like
//!             // slots for tracking what values are still in use. We do it before the sleeping,
//!             // not at the end of the scope.
//!             drop(guard);
//!             thread::sleep(Duration::from_millis(50));
//!         }
//!     })
//! }
//!
//! // Passing the whole thing directly
//! // (If we kept another Arc to it, we could change the value behind the scenes)
//! work_with_usize(Arc::new(ArcSwap::from_pointee(42))).join().unwrap();
//!
//! // Passing a subset of a structure
//! struct Cfg {
//!     value: usize,
//! }
//!
//! let cfg = Arc::new(ArcSwap::from_pointee(Cfg { value: 0 }));
//! let thread = work_with_usize(Map::new(Arc::clone(&cfg), |cfg: &Cfg| &cfg.value));
//! cfg.store(Arc::new(Cfg { value: 42 }));
//! thread.join().unwrap();
//!
//! // Passing a constant that can't change. Useful mostly for testing purposes.
//! work_with_usize(Constant(42)).join().unwrap();
