3 //! A reference-counted pointer.
4 //!
5 //! This module implements a way for users to create reference-counted objects and pointers to
6 //! them. Such a pointer automatically increments and decrements the count, and drops the
7 //! underlying object when it reaches zero. It is also safe to use concurrently from multiple
8 //! threads.
9 //!
10 //! It is different from the standard library's [`Arc`] in a few ways:
11 //! 1. It is backed by the kernel's `refcount_t` type.
12 //! 2. It does not support weak references, which allows it to be half the size.
13 //! 3. It saturates the reference count instead of aborting when it goes over a threshold.
14 //! 4. It does not provide a `get_mut` method, so the ref counted object is pinned.
15 //! 5. The object in [`Arc`] is pinned implicitly.

423 /// A borrowed reference to an [`Arc`] instance.
424 ///
425 /// For cases when one doesn't ever need to increment the refcount on the allocation, it is simpler
426 /// to use just `&T`, which we can trivially get from an [`Arc<T>`] instance.
427 ///
428 /// However, when one may need to increment the refcount, it is preferable to use an `ArcBorrow<T>`
429 /// over `&Arc<T>` because the latter results in a double-indirection: a pointer (shared reference)
430 /// to a pointer ([`Arc<T>`]) to the object (`T`). An [`ArcBorrow`] eliminates this double
431 /// indirection while still allowing one to increment the refcount and getting an [`Arc<T>`] when/if
432 /// needed.
