escher

Self-referencial structs using async stacks

Escher is an extremely simple library providing a safe and sound API to build self-referencial structs. It works by (ab)using the async await trasformation of rustc. If you'd like to know more about the inner workings please take a look at the How it works section and the source code.

Compared to the state of the art escher:

• Is only around 100 lines of well-commented code
• Contains only two unsafe calls that are well argued for
• Uses rustc for all the analysis. If it compiles, the self references are correct

Usage

You are looking at the escher-derive crate. You can find the full documentation in the main escher crate.
