Rust Standard Library Cookbook

By: Jan Hohenheim, Daniel Durante

Overview of this book

Mozilla’s Rust is gaining much attention with amazing features and a powerful library. This book will take you through varied recipes to teach you how to leverage the Standard library to implement efficient solutions. The book begins with a brief look at the basic modules of the Standard library and collections. From here, the recipes will cover packages that support file/directory handling and interaction through parsing. You will learn about packages related to advanced data structures, error handling, and networking. You will also learn to work with futures and experimental nightly features. The book also covers the most relevant external crates in Rust. By the end of the book, you will be proficient at using the Rust Standard library.

How to do it...

  1. In the folder bin, create a file called sharing_in_closures.rs.

  2. Add the following code and run it with cargo run --bin sharing_in_closures:

1  use std::thread;
2 use std::sync::Arc;
3
4 fn main() {
5 // An Arc ("Atomically Reference Counted") is used the exact
6 // same way as an Rc, but also works in a parallel context
7 let some_resource = Arc::new("Hello World".to_string());
8
9 // We use it to give a new thread ownership of a clone of the
Arc
10 let thread_a = {
11 // It is very common to give the clone the same name as the
original
12 let some_resource = some_resource.clone();
13 // The clone is then moved into the closure:
14 thread::spawn(move || {
15 println!("Thread A says: {}", some_resource);
16 })
17 };
18 let thread_b = {
19 let some_resource = some_resource.clone();
20 thread::spawn(move || {
21 println!("Thread B says: {}", some_resource);
