5A crate for safe and ergonomic [pin-projection].
6
7## Usage
8
9Add this to your `Cargo.toml`:
10
11```toml
12[dependencies]
13pin-project = "1"
14```
15
16## Examples
17
18[`#[pin_project]`][`pin_project`] attribute creates projection types
19covering all the fields of struct or enum.
20
21```rust
22use std::pin::Pin;
23
24use pin_project::pin_project;
25
26#[pin_project]
27struct Struct<T, U> {
28 #[pin]
29 pinned: T,
30 unpinned: U,
31}
32
33impl<T, U> Struct<T, U> {
34 fn method(self: Pin<&mut Self>) {
35 let this = self.project();
36 let _: Pin<&mut T> = this.pinned; // Pinned reference to the field
37 let _: &mut U = this.unpinned; // Normal reference to the field
38 }
39}
40```
41
42[*code like this will be generated*][struct-default-expanded]
43
44To use `#[pin_project]` on enums, you need to name the projection type
45returned from the method.
46
47```rust
48use std::pin::Pin;
49
50use pin_project::pin_project;
51
52#[pin_project(project = EnumProj)]
53enum Enum<T, U> {
54 Pinned(#[pin] T),
55 Unpinned(U),
56}
57
58impl<T, U> Enum<T, U> {
59 fn method(self: Pin<&mut Self>) {
60 match self.project() {
61 EnumProj::Pinned(x) => {
62 let _: Pin<&mut T> = x;
63 }
64 EnumProj::Unpinned(y) => {
65 let _: &mut U = y;
66 }
67 }
68 }
69}
70```
71
72[*code like this will be generated*][enum-default-expanded]

74See [`#[pin_project]`][`pin_project`] attribute for more details, and
75see [examples] directory for more examples and generated code.

118/// A trait used for custom implementations of [`Unpin`].
119///
120/// This trait is used in conjunction with the `UnsafeUnpin` argument to
121/// the [`#[pin_project]`][macro@pin_project] attribute.
122///
123/// # Safety
124///
125/// The Rust [`Unpin`] trait is safe to implement - by itself,
126/// implementing it cannot lead to [undefined behavior][undefined-behavior].
127/// Undefined behavior can only occur when other unsafe code is used.
128///
129/// It turns out that using pin projections, which requires unsafe code,
130/// imposes additional requirements on an [`Unpin`] impl. Normally, all of this
131/// unsafety is contained within this crate, ensuring that it's impossible for
132/// you to violate any of the guarantees required by pin projection.
133///
134/// However, things change if you want to provide a custom [`Unpin`] impl
135/// for your `#[pin_project]` type. As stated in [the Rust
136/// documentation][pin-projection], you must be sure to only implement [`Unpin`]
137/// when all of your `#[pin]` fields (i.e. structurally pinned fields) are also
138/// [`Unpin`].
139///
140/// To help highlight this unsafety, the `UnsafeUnpin` trait is provided.
141/// Implementing this trait is logically equivalent to implementing [`Unpin`] -
142/// this crate will generate an [`Unpin`] impl for your type that 'forwards' to
143/// your `UnsafeUnpin` impl. However, this trait is `unsafe` - since your type
144/// uses structural pinning (otherwise, you wouldn't be using this crate!),
145/// you must be sure that your `UnsafeUnpin` impls follows all of
146/// the requirements for an [`Unpin`] impl of a structurally-pinned type.
147///
148/// Note that if you specify `#[pin_project(UnsafeUnpin)]`, but do *not*
149/// provide an impl of `UnsafeUnpin`, your type will never implement [`Unpin`].
150/// This is effectively the same thing as adding a [`PhantomPinned`] to your
151/// type.
152///
153/// Since this trait is `unsafe`, impls of it will be detected by the
154/// `unsafe_code` lint, and by tools like [`cargo geiger`][cargo-geiger].
155///
156/// # Examples
157///
158/// An `UnsafeUnpin` impl which, in addition to requiring that structurally
159/// pinned fields be [`Unpin`], imposes an additional requirement:
160///
161/// ```
162/// use pin_project::{pin_project, UnsafeUnpin};
163///
164/// #[pin_project(UnsafeUnpin)]
165/// struct Struct<K, V> {
166/// #[pin]
167/// field_1: K,
168/// field_2: V,
169/// }
170///
171/// unsafe impl<K, V> UnsafeUnpin for Struct<K, V> where K: Unpin + Clone {}
172/// ```
173///

200 // **Do not call or implement this trait directly.**
201 //
202 // # Why this trait is private and `#[pinned_drop]` attribute is needed?
203 //
204 // Implementing `PinnedDrop::drop` is safe, but calling it is not safe.
205 // This is because destructors can be called multiple times in safe code and
206 // [double dropping is unsound][rust-lang/rust#62360].
207 //
208 // Ideally, it would be desirable to be able to forbid manual calls in
209 // the same way as [`Drop::drop`], but the library cannot do it. So, by using
210 // macros and replacing them with private traits,
211 // this crate prevent users from calling `PinnedDrop::drop` in safe code.
212 //
213 // This allows implementing [`Drop`] safely using `#[pinned_drop]`.
214 // Also by using the [`drop`] function just like dropping a type that directly
215 // implements [`Drop`], can drop safely a type that implements `PinnedDrop`.

224 // This is an internal helper struct used by `pin-project-internal`.
225 // This allows us to force an error if the user tries to provide
226 // a regular `Unpin` impl when they specify the `UnsafeUnpin` argument.
227 // This is why we need Wrapper:
228 //
229 // Supposed we have the following code:
230 //
231 // ```
232 // #[pin_project(UnsafeUnpin)]
233 // struct MyStruct<T> {
234 // #[pin] field: T
235 // }
236 //
237 // impl<T> Unpin for MyStruct<T> where MyStruct<T>: UnsafeUnpin {} // generated by pin-project-internal
238 // impl<T> Unpin for MyStruct<T> where T: Copy // written by the user
239 // ```
240 //
241 // We want this code to be rejected - the user is completely bypassing
242 // `UnsafeUnpin`, and providing an unsound Unpin impl in safe code!
243 //
244 // Unfortunately, the Rust compiler will accept the above code.
245 // Because MyStruct is declared in the same crate as the user-provided impl,
246 // the compiler will notice that `MyStruct<T>: UnsafeUnpin` never holds.
247 //
248 // The solution is to introduce the `Wrapper` struct, which is defined
249 // in the `pin-project` crate.
250 //
251 // We now have code that looks like this:
252 //
253 // ```
254 // impl<T> Unpin for MyStruct<T> where Wrapper<MyStruct<T>>: UnsafeUnpin {} // generated by pin-project-internal
255 // impl<T> Unpin for MyStruct<T> where T: Copy // written by the user
256 // ```
257 //
258 // We also have `unsafe impl<T> UnsafeUnpin for Wrapper<T> where T: UnsafeUnpin {}`
259 // in the `pin-project` crate.
260 //
261 // Now, our generated impl has a bound involving a type defined in another
262 // crate - Wrapper. This will cause rust to conservatively assume that
263 // `Wrapper<MyStruct<T>>: UnsafeUnpin` holds, in the interest of preserving
264 // forwards compatibility (in case such an impl is added for Wrapper<T> in
265 // a new version of the crate).
266 //
267 // This will cause rust to reject any other `Unpin` impls for MyStruct<T>,
268 // since it will assume that our generated impl could potentially apply in
269 // any situation.
270 //
271 // This achieves the desired effect - when the user writes
272 // `#[pin_project(UnsafeUnpin)]`, the user must either provide no impl of
273 // `UnsafeUnpin` (which is equivalent to making the type never implement
274 // Unpin), or provide an impl of `UnsafeUnpin`. It is impossible for them to
275 // provide an impl of `Unpin`
