A multithreaded and single threaded string interner that allows strings to be cached with a minimal memory footprint, associating them with a unique key that can be used to retrieve them at any time. A Rodeo allows O(1) internment and resolution and can be turned into a RodeoReader to allow for contention-free resolutions with both key to str and str to key operations. It can also be turned into a RodeoResolver with only key to str operations for the lowest possible memory usage.

Which interner do I use?

For single-threaded workloads Rodeo is encouraged, while multi-threaded applications should use ThreadedRodeo. Both of these are the only way to intern strings, but most applications will hit a stage where they are done interning strings, and at that point is where the choice between RodeoReader and RodeoResolver. If the user needs to get keys for strings still, then they must use the RodeoReader (although they can still transfer into a RodeoResolver) at this point. For users who just need key to string resolution, the RodeoResolver gives contention-free access at the minimum possible memory usage. Note that to gain access to ThreadedRodeo the multi-threaded feature is required.

Interner Thread-safe Intern String str to key key to str Contention Free Memory Usage
Rodeo N/A Medium
ThreadedRodeo Most
RodeoReader Medium
RodeoResolver Least

Cargo Features

By default lasso2 has one dependency, hashbrown, and only Rodeo is exposed. Hashbrown is used since the raw_entry api is currently unstable in the standard library's hashmap. The raw hashmap API is used for custom hashing within the hashmaps, which works to dramatically reduce memory usage To make use of ThreadedRodeo, you must enable the multi-threaded feature.

  • multi-threaded - Enables ThreadedRodeo, the interner for multi-threaded tasks
  • ahasher - Use ahash's RandomState as the default hasher
  • no-std - Enables no_std + alloc support for Rodeo and ThreadedRodeo
    • Automatically enables the following required features:
      • ahasher - no_std hashing function
  • serialize - Implements Serialize and Deserialize for all Spur types and all interners
  • inline-more - Annotate external apis with #[inline]

Example: Using Rodeo

use lasso2::Rodeo;

let mut rodeo = Rodeo::default();
let key = rodeo.get_or_intern("Hello, world!");

// Easily retrieve the value of a key and find the key for values
assert_eq!("Hello, world!", rodeo.resolve(&key));
assert_eq!(Some(key), rodeo.get("Hello, world!"));

// Interning the same string again will yield the same key
let key2 = rodeo.get_or_intern("Hello, world!");

assert_eq!(key, key2);

Example: Using ThreadedRodeo

use lasso2::ThreadedRodeo;
use std::{thread, sync::Arc};

let rodeo = Arc::new(ThreadedRodeo::default());
let key = rodeo.get_or_intern("Hello, world!");

// Easily retrieve the value of a key and find the key for values
assert_eq!("Hello, world!", rodeo.resolve(&key));
assert_eq!(Some(key), rodeo.get("Hello, world!"));

// Interning the same string again will yield the same key
let key2 = rodeo.get_or_intern("Hello, world!");

assert_eq!(key, key2);

// ThreadedRodeo can be shared across threads
let moved = Arc::clone(&rodeo);
let hello = thread::spawn(move || {
    assert_eq!("Hello, world!", moved.resolve(&key));
    moved.get_or_intern("Hello from the thread!")
})
.join()
.unwrap();

assert_eq!("Hello, world!", rodeo.resolve(&key));
assert_eq!("Hello from the thread!", rodeo.resolve(&hello));

Example: Creating a RodeoReader

use lasso2::Rodeo;

// Rodeo and ThreadedRodeo are interchangeable here
let mut rodeo = Rodeo::default();

let key = rodeo.get_or_intern("Hello, world!");
assert_eq!("Hello, world!", rodeo.resolve(&key));

let reader = rodeo.into_reader();

// Reader keeps all the strings from the parent
assert_eq!("Hello, world!", reader.resolve(&key));
assert_eq!(Some(key), reader.get("Hello, world!"));

// The Reader can now be shared across threads, no matter what kind of Rodeo created it

Example: Creating a RodeoResolver

use lasso2::Rodeo;

// Rodeo and ThreadedRodeo are interchangeable here
let mut rodeo = Rodeo::default();

let key = rodeo.get_or_intern("Hello, world!");
assert_eq!("Hello, world!", rodeo.resolve(&key));

let resolver = rodeo.into_resolver();

// Resolver keeps all the strings from the parent
assert_eq!("Hello, world!", resolver.resolve(&key));

// The Resolver can now be shared across threads, no matter what kind of Rodeo created it

Example: Making a custom-ranged key

Sometimes you want your keys to only inhabit (or not inhabit) a certain range of values so that you can have custom niches. This allows you to pack more data into what would otherwise be unused space, which can be critical for memory-sensitive applications.

use lasso2::{Key, Rodeo};

// First make our key type, this will be what we use as handles into our interner
#[derive(Copy, Clone, PartialEq, Eq)]
struct NicheKey(u32);

// This will reserve the upper 255 values for us to use as niches
const NICHE: usize = 0xFF000000;

// Implementing `Key` is unsafe and requires that anything given to `try_from_usize` must produce the
// same `usize` when `into_usize` is later called
unsafe impl Key for NicheKey {
    fn into_usize(self) -> usize {
        self.0 as usize
    }

    fn try_from_usize(int: usize) -> Option<Self> {
        if int < NICHE {
            // The value isn't in our niche range, so we're good to go
            Some(Self(int as u32))
        } else {
            // The value interferes with our niche, so we return `None`
            None
        }
    }
}

// To make sure we're upholding `Key`'s safety contract, let's make two small tests
#[test]
fn value_in_range() {
    let key = NicheKey::try_from_usize(0).unwrap();
    assert_eq!(key.into_usize(), 0);

    let key = NicheKey::try_from_usize(NICHE - 1).unwrap();
    assert_eq!(key.into_usize(), NICHE - 1);
}

#[test]
fn value_out_of_range() {
    let key = NicheKey::try_from_usize(NICHE);
    assert!(key.is_none());

    let key = NicheKey::try_from_usize(u32::max_value() as usize);
    assert!(key.is_none());
}

// And now we're done and can make `Rodeo`s or `ThreadedRodeo`s that use our custom key!
let mut rodeo: Rodeo<NicheKey> = Rodeo::new();
let key = rodeo.get_or_intern("It works!");
assert_eq!(rodeo.resolve(&key), "It works!");

Example: Creation using FromIterator

use lasso2::Rodeo;
use core::iter::FromIterator;

// Works for both `Rodeo` and `ThreadedRodeo`
let rodeo = Rodeo::from_iter(vec![
    "one string",
    "two string",
    "red string",
    "blue string",
]);

assert!(rodeo.contains("one string"));
assert!(rodeo.contains("two string"));
assert!(rodeo.contains("red string"));
assert!(rodeo.contains("blue string"));
use lasso2::Rodeo;
use core::iter::FromIterator;

// Works for both `Rodeo` and `ThreadedRodeo`
let rodeo: Rodeo = vec!["one string", "two string", "red string", "blue string"]
    .into_iter()
    .collect();

assert!(rodeo.contains("one string"));
assert!(rodeo.contains("two string"));
assert!(rodeo.contains("red string"));
assert!(rodeo.contains("blue string"));
