9A macro for declaring lazily evaluated statics.
10
11Using this macro, it is possible to have `static`s that require code to be
12executed at runtime in order to be initialized.
13This includes anything requiring heap allocations, like vectors or hash maps,
14as well as anything that requires function calls to be computed.
15
16# Syntax
17
18```ignore
19lazy_static! {
20 [pub] static ref NAME_1: TYPE_1 = EXPR_1;
21 [pub] static ref NAME_2: TYPE_2 = EXPR_2;
22 ...
23 [pub] static ref NAME_N: TYPE_N = EXPR_N;
24}
25```
26
27Attributes (including doc comments) are supported as well:
28
29```rust
30use lazy_static::lazy_static;
31
32# fn main() {
33lazy_static! {
34 /// This is an example for using doc comment attributes
35 static ref EXAMPLE: u8 = 42;
36}
37# }
38```
39
40# Semantics
41
42For a given `static ref NAME: TYPE = EXPR;`, the macro generates a unique type that
43implements `Deref<TYPE>` and stores it in a static with name `NAME`. (Attributes end up
44attaching to this type.)
45
46On first deref, `EXPR` gets evaluated and stored internally, such that all further derefs
47can return a reference to the same object. Note that this can lead to deadlocks
48if you have multiple lazy statics that depend on each other in their initialization.
49
50Apart from the lazy initialization, the resulting "static ref" variables
51have generally the same properties as regular "static" variables:
52
53- Any type in them needs to fulfill the `Sync` trait.
54- If the type has a destructor, then it will not run when the process exits.
55
56# Example
57
58Using the macro:
59
60```rust
61use lazy_static::lazy_static;
62use std::collections::HashMap;
63
64lazy_static! {
65 static ref HASHMAP: HashMap<u32, &'static str> = {
66 let mut m = HashMap::new();
67 m.insert(0, "foo");
68 m.insert(1, "bar");
69 m.insert(2, "baz");
70 m
71 };
72 static ref COUNT: usize = HASHMAP.len();
73 static ref NUMBER: u32 = times_two(21);
74}
75
76fn times_two(n: u32) -> u32 { n * 2 }
77
78fn main() {
79 println!("The map has {} entries.", *COUNT);
80 println!("The entry for `0` is \"{}\".", HASHMAP.get(&0).unwrap());
81 println!("A expensive calculation on a static results in: {}.", *NUMBER);
82}
83```
84
85# Implementation details
86
87The `Deref` implementation uses a hidden static variable that is guarded by an atomic check on each access.
88
89# Cargo features
90
91This crate provides one cargo feature:
92
93- `spin_no_std`: This allows using this crate in a no-std environment, by depending on the standalone `spin` crate.
