//! A basic usage example demonstrating the garbage collector. use refuse::{CollectionGuard, Ref, Root}; fn main() { let guard = CollectionGuard::acquire(); // Allocate a vec![Ref(1), Ref(2), Ref(3)]. let values: Vec> = (1..=3).map(|value| Ref::new(value, &guard)).collect(); let values = Root::new(values, &guard); drop(guard); // Manually execute the garbage collector. Our data will not be freed, // since `values` is a "root" reference. refuse::collect(); // Root references allow direct access to their data, even when a // `CollectionGuard` isn't held. let (one, two, three) = (values[0], values[1], values[2]); // Accessing the data contained in a `Ref` requires a guard, however. let mut guard = CollectionGuard::acquire(); assert_eq!(one.load(&guard), Some(&1)); assert_eq!(two.load(&guard), Some(&2)); assert_eq!(three.load(&guard), Some(&3)); // Dropping our root will allow the collector to free our `Ref`s. drop(values); guard.collect(); assert_eq!(one.load(&guard), None); }
