process-owned

This Rust crate provides easy access to multiple owners. Using the ProcessOwned struct, multiple owners can share the same data source. Internally, this uses an Rc, but the implementation will be modified for speed.

When paired with the lazy_static crate, this can be used to create a global data source that can be accessed from anywhere in the program.

Example

use process_owned::ProcessOwned;

let mut data = ProcessOwned::new(0);
assert_eq!(*data, 0);

This crate is licensed under the MIT license due to its extremely small size. See the LICENSE file for more information.

lib.rs:

This crate provides the ProcessOwned type, a value that shares its lifetime with the process unless it can be optimally freed earlier than that.

Internally, ProcessOwned uses the Rc type to ensure that the value is only dropped when the last owner is dropped. The specific implementation is subject to change for performance reasons.
