3//! # The Rust core allocation and collections library
4//!
5//! This library provides smart pointers and collections for managing
6//! heap-allocated values.
7//!
8//! This library, like libcore, normally doesn’t need to be used directly
9//! since its contents are re-exported in the [`std` crate](../std/index.html).
10//! Crates that use the `#![no_std]` attribute however will typically
11//! not depend on `std`, so they’d use this crate instead.
12//!
13//! ## Boxed values
14//!
15//! The [`Box`] type is a smart pointer type. There can only be one owner of a
16//! [`Box`], and the owner can decide to mutate the contents, which live on the
17//! heap.
18//!
19//! This type can be sent among threads efficiently as the size of a `Box` value
20//! is the same as that of a pointer. Tree-like data structures are often built
21//! with boxes because each node often has only one owner, the parent.
22//!
23//! ## Reference counted pointers
24//!
25//! The [`Rc`] type is a non-threadsafe reference-counted pointer type intended
26//! for sharing memory within a thread. An [`Rc`] pointer wraps a type, `T`, and
27//! only allows access to `&T`, a shared reference.
28//!
29//! This type is useful when inherited mutability (such as using [`Box`]) is too
30//! constraining for an application, and is often paired with the [`Cell`] or
31//! [`RefCell`] types in order to allow mutation.
32//!
33//! ## Atomically reference counted pointers
34//!
35//! The [`Arc`] type is the threadsafe equivalent of the [`Rc`] type. It
36//! provides all the same functionality of [`Rc`], except it requires that the
37//! contained type `T` is shareable. Additionally, [`Arc<T>`][`Arc`] is itself
38//! sendable while [`Rc<T>`][`Rc`] is not.
39//!
40//! This type allows for shared access to the contained data, and is often
41//! paired with synchronization primitives such as mutexes to allow mutation of
42//! shared resources.
43//!
44//! ## Collections
45//!
46//! Implementations of the most common general purpose data structures are
47//! defined in this library. They are re-exported through the
48//! [standard collections library](../std/collections/index.html).
49//!
50//! ## Heap interfaces
51//!
52//! The [`alloc`](alloc/index.html) module defines the low-level interface to the
53//! default global allocator. It is not compatible with the libc allocator API.
54//!
55//! [`Arc`]: sync
56//! [`Box`]: boxed
57//! [`Cell`]: core::cell
58//! [`Rc`]: rc
59//! [`RefCell`]: core::cell
