Trait lock_order::lock::OrderedLockAccess

source ·
pub trait OrderedLockAccess<T> {
    type Lock;

    // Required method
    fn ordered_lock_access(&self) -> OrderedLockRef<'_, Self::Lock>;
}
Expand description

Marks a type as offering ordered lock access for some inner type T.

This trait allows for types that are lock order sensitive to be defined in a separate crate than the lock levels themselves while nudging local code away from using the locks without regards for ordering.

The crate defining the lock levels can implement LockLevelFor to declare the lock level to access the field exposed by this implementation.

Required Associated Types§

source

type Lock

The lock type that observes ordering.

This should be a type that implements either ExclusiveLock or ReadWriteLock.

Required Methods§

source

fn ordered_lock_access(&self) -> OrderedLockRef<'_, Self::Lock>

Returns a borrow to the order-aware lock.

Note that this returns OrderedLockRef to further prevent out of order lock usage. Once sealed into OrderedLockRef, the borrow can only be used via the blanket RwLockFor and LockFor implementations provided by this crate.
