# Overview

`once_cell` provides two new cell-like types, [`unsync::OnceCell`] and [`sync::OnceCell`]. A `OnceCell`
might store arbitrary non-`Copy` types, can be assigned to at most once and provides direct access
to the stored contents. The core API looks *roughly* like this (and there's much more inside, read on!):

```rust,ignore
impl<T> OnceCell<T> {
    fn new() -> OnceCell<T> { ... }
    fn set(&self, value: T) -> Result<(), T> { ... }
    fn get(&self) -> Option<&T> { ... }
}
```

Note that, like with [`RefCell`] and [`Mutex`], the `set` method requires only a shared reference.
Because of the single assignment restriction `get` can return a `&T` instead of `Ref<T>`
or `MutexGuard<T>`.

The `sync` flavor is thread-safe (that is, implements the [`Sync`] trait), while the `unsync` one is not.

# Patterns

`OnceCell` might be useful for a variety of patterns.

## Safe Initialization of global data

```rust
use std::{env, io};

use once_cell::sync::OnceCell;

#[derive(Debug)]
pub struct Logger {
    // ...
}
static INSTANCE: OnceCell<Logger> = OnceCell::new();

impl Logger {
    pub fn global() -> &'static Logger {
        INSTANCE.get().expect("logger is not initialized")
    }

    fn from_cli(args: env::Args) -> Result<Logger, std::io::Error> {
       // ...
#      Ok(Logger {})
    }
}

fn main() {
    let logger = Logger::from_cli(env::args()).unwrap();
    INSTANCE.set(logger).unwrap();
    // use `Logger::global()` from now on
}
```

## Lazy initialized global data

This is essentially the `lazy_static!` macro, but without a macro.

```rust
use std::{sync::Mutex, collections::HashMap};

use once_cell::sync::OnceCell;

fn global_data() -> &'static Mutex<HashMap<i32, String>> {
    static INSTANCE: OnceCell<Mutex<HashMap<i32, String>>> = OnceCell::new();
    INSTANCE.get_or_init(|| {
        let mut m = HashMap::new();
        m.insert(13, "Spica".to_string());
        m.insert(74, "Hoyten".to_string());
        Mutex::new(m)
    })
}
```

There are also the [`sync::Lazy`] and [`unsync::Lazy`] convenience types to streamline this pattern:

```rust
use std::{sync::Mutex, collections::HashMap};
use once_cell::sync::Lazy;

static GLOBAL_DATA: Lazy<Mutex<HashMap<i32, String>>> = Lazy::new(|| {
    let mut m = HashMap::new();
    m.insert(13, "Spica".to_string());
    m.insert(74, "Hoyten".to_string());
    Mutex::new(m)
});

fn main() {
    println!("{:?}", GLOBAL_DATA.lock().unwrap());
}
```

[`sync::Lazy`]: sync/struct.Lazy.html
[`unsync::Lazy`]: unsync/struct.Lazy.html

## General purpose lazy evaluation

Unlike `lazy_static!`, `Lazy` works with local variables.

```rust
use once_cell::unsync::Lazy;

fn main() {
    let ctx = vec![1, 2, 3];
    let thunk = Lazy::new(|| {
        ctx.iter().sum::<i32>()
    });
    assert_eq!(*thunk, 6);
}
```

If you need a lazy field in a struct, you probably should use `OnceCell`
directly, because that will allow you to access `self` during initialization.

```rust
use std::{fs, path::PathBuf};

use once_cell::unsync::OnceCell;

struct Ctx {
    config_path: PathBuf,
    config: OnceCell<String>,
}

impl Ctx {
    pub fn get_config(&self) -> Result<&str, std::io::Error> {
        let cfg = self.config.get_or_try_init(|| {
            fs::read_to_string(&self.config_path)
        })?;
        Ok(cfg.as_str())
    }
}
```

## Building block

Naturally, it is  possible to build other abstractions on top of `OnceCell`.
For example, this is a `regex!` macro which takes a string literal and returns an
*expression* that evaluates to a `&'static Regex`:

```
macro_rules! regex {
    ($re:literal $(,)?) => {{
        static RE: once_cell::sync::OnceCell<regex::Regex> = once_cell::sync::OnceCell::new();
        RE.get_or_init(|| regex::Regex::new($re).unwrap())
    }};
}
```

This macro can be useful to avoid the "compile regex on every loop iteration" problem.

# Comparison with std

|`!Sync` types         | Access Mode            | Drawbacks                                     |
|----------------------|------------------------|-----------------------------------------------|
|`Cell<T>`             | `T`                    | requires `T: Copy` for `get`                  |
|`RefCell<T>`          | `RefMut<T>` / `Ref<T>` | may panic at runtime                          |
|`unsync::OnceCell<T>` | `&T`                   | assignable only once                          |

|`Sync` types          | Access Mode            | Drawbacks                                     |
|----------------------|------------------------|-----------------------------------------------|
|`AtomicT`             | `T`                    | works only with certain `Copy` types          |
|`Mutex<T>`            | `MutexGuard<T>`        | may deadlock at runtime, may block the thread |
|`sync::OnceCell<T>`   | `&T`                   | assignable only once, may block the thread    |

Technically, calling `get_or_init` will also cause a panic or a deadlock if it recursively calls
itself. However, because the assignment can happen only once, such cases should be more rare than
equivalents with `RefCell` and `Mutex`.

# Minimum Supported `rustc` Version

This crate's minimum supported `rustc` version is `1.31.1` (or `1.36.0` with the
`parking_lot` feature enabled).

If only the `std` feature is enabled, MSRV will be updated conservatively.
When using other features, like `parking_lot`, MSRV might be updated more frequently, up to the latest stable.
In both cases, increasing MSRV is *not* considered a semver-breaking change.

# Implementation details

The implementation is based on the [`lazy_static`](https://github.com/rust-lang-nursery/lazy-static.rs/)
and [`lazy_cell`](https://github.com/indiv0/lazycell/) crates and [`std::sync::Once`]. In some sense,
`once_cell` just streamlines and unifies those APIs.

To implement a sync flavor of `OnceCell`, this crates uses either a custom re-implementation of
`std::sync::Once` or `parking_lot::Mutex`. This is controlled by the `parking_lot` feature, which
is enabled by default. Performance is the same for both cases, but the `parking_lot` based `OnceCell<T>`
is smaller by up to 16 bytes.

This crate uses `unsafe`.

# F.A.Q.

**Should I use lazy_static or once_cell?**

To the first approximation, `once_cell` is both more flexible and more convenient than `lazy_static`
and should be preferred.

Unlike `once_cell`, `lazy_static` supports spinlock-based implementation of blocking which works with
`#![no_std]`.

`lazy_static` has received significantly more real world testing, but `once_cell` is also a widely
used crate.

**Should I use the sync or unsync flavor?**

Because Rust compiler checks thread safety for you, it's impossible to accidentally use `unsync` where
`sync` is required. So, use `unsync` in single-threaded code and `sync` in multi-threaded. It's easy
to switch between the two if code becomes multi-threaded later.

At the moment, `unsync` has an additional benefit that reentrant initialization causes a panic, which
might be easier to debug than a deadlock.
