Description
Feature gate: #![feature(once_state_poison_pub)]
This is a tracking issue for making the poison method of OnceState public.
The Once synchronization primitive provides a poison method for marking the internal OnceState as poisoned, which is combined with the call_once_force method in OnceLock::initialize to call initialization functions until one succeeds without panicking. This provides a way for users to use fallible initialization functions where they only observe the OnceLock being initialized once a function doesn't panic:
fn initialize<F, E>(&self, f: F) -> Result<(), E>
where
F: FnOnce() -> Result<T, E>,
{
let mut res: Result<(), E> = Ok(());
let slot = &self.value;
// Ignore poisoning from other threads
// If another thread panics, then we'll be able to run our closure
self.once.call_once_force(|p| {
match f() {
Ok(value) => {
unsafe { (&mut *slot.get()).write(value) };
}
Err(e) => {
res = Err(e);
// Treat the underlying `Once` as poisoned since we
// failed to initialize our value.
p.poison();
}
}
});
res
}This tracking issue is for marking the poison method on OnceState as pub, rather than pub(crate). This has no impact on the OnceCell or OnceLock APIs, but allows downstream libraries to build out similar functionality. The motivation for this is for the twice-cell crate, where use of this API would simplify the implementation.
Public API
// std::sync::once
pub struct OnceState {
pub(crate) inner: sys::OnceState,
}
impl OnceState {
/// Poison the associated [`Once`] without explicitly panicking.
#[inline]
pub fn poison(&self) {
self.inner.poison();
}
