Type Alias BackoffSpinlockGuard

pub type BackoffSpinlockGuard<'a, T> = MutexGuard<'a, RawSpinlock<Backoff>, T>;

A RAII guard that frees the exponential backoff spinlock when it goes out of scope.

Allows access to the locked data through the core::ops::Deref and core::ops::DerefMut operations.

Example

use spinning_top::{guard::BackoffSpinlockGuard, BackoffSpinlock};

let spinlock = BackoffSpinlock::new(Vec::new());

// begin a new scope
{
    // lock the spinlock to create a `BackoffSpinlockGuard`
    let mut guard: BackoffSpinlockGuard<_> = spinlock.lock();

    // guard can be used like a `&mut Vec` since it implements `DerefMut`
    guard.push(1);
    guard.push(2);
    assert_eq!(guard.len(), 2);
} // guard is dropped -> frees the spinlock again

// spinlock is unlocked again
assert!(spinlock.try_lock().is_some());
