1 //! Types which pin data to its location in memory
3 //! It is sometimes useful to have objects that are guaranteed to not move,
4 //! in the sense that their placement in memory does not change, and can thus be relied upon.
5 //! A prime example of such a scenario would be building self-referential structs,
6 //! since moving an object with pointers to itself will invalidate them,
7 //! which could cause undefined behavior.
9 //! A [`Pin<P>`] ensures that the pointee of any pointer type `P` has a stable location in memory,
10 //! meaning it cannot be moved elsewhere and its memory cannot be deallocated
11 //! until it gets dropped. We say that the pointee is "pinned".
13 //! By default, all types in Rust are movable. Rust allows passing all types by-value,
14 //! and common smart-pointer types such as `Box<T>` and `&mut T` allow replacing and
15 //! moving the values they contain: you can move out of a `Box<T>`, or you can use [`mem::swap`].
16 //! [`Pin<P>`] wraps a pointer type `P`, so `Pin<Box<T>>` functions much like a regular `Box<T>`:
17 //! when a `Pin<Box<T>>` gets dropped, so do its contents, and the memory gets deallocated.
18 //! Similarily, `Pin<&mut T>` is a lot like `&mut T`. However, [`Pin<P>`] does not let clients actually
19 //! obtain a `Box<T>` or `&mut T` to pinned data, which implies that you cannot use
20 //! operations such as [`mem::swap`]:
22 //! use std::pin::Pin;
23 //! fn swap_pins<T>(x: Pin<&mut T>, y: Pin<&mut T>) {
24 //! // `mem::swap` needs `&mut T`, but we cannot get it.
25 //! // We are stuck, we cannot swap the contents of these references.
26 //! // We could use `Pin::get_unchecked_mut`, but that is unsafe for a reason:
27 //! // we are not allowed to use it for moving things out of the `Pin`.
31 //! It is worth reiterating that [`Pin<P>`] does *not* change the fact that a Rust compiler
32 //! considers all types movable. [`mem::swap`] remains callable for any `T`. Instead, `Pin<P>`
33 //! prevents certain *values* (pointed to by pointers wrapped in `Pin<P>`) from being
34 //! moved by making it impossible to call methods that require `&mut T` on them
35 //! (like [`mem::swap`]).
37 //! [`Pin<P>`] can be used to wrap any pointer type `P`, and as such it interacts with
38 //! [`Deref`] and [`DerefMut`]. A `Pin<P>` where `P: Deref` should be considered
39 //! as a "`P`-style pointer" to a pinned `P::Target` -- so, a `Pin<Box<T>>` is
40 //! an owned pointer to a pinned `T`, and a `Pin<Rc<T>>` is a reference-counted
41 //! pointer to a pinned `T`.
42 //! For correctness, [`Pin<P>`] relies on the [`Deref`] and [`DerefMut`] implementations
43 //! to not move out of their `self` parameter, and to only ever return a pointer
44 //! to pinned data when they are called on a pinned pointer.
48 //! However, these restrictions are usually not necessary. Many types are always freely
49 //! movable, even when pinned, because they do not rely on having a stable address.
50 //! This includes all the basic types (`bool`, `i32` and friends, references)
51 //! as well as types consisting solely of these types.
52 //! Types that do not care about pinning implement the [`Unpin`] auto-trait, which
53 //! cancels the effect of [`Pin<P>`]. For `T: Unpin`, `Pin<Box<T>>` and `Box<T>` function
54 //! identically, as do `Pin<&mut T>` and `&mut T`.
56 //! Note that pinning and `Unpin` only affect the pointed-to type, not the pointer
57 //! type `P` itself that got wrapped in `Pin<P>`. For example, whether or not `Box<T>` is
58 //! `Unpin` has no effect on the behavior of `Pin<Box<T>>` (here, `T` is the
61 //! # Example: self-referential struct
64 //! use std::pin::Pin;
65 //! use std::marker::PhantomPinned;
66 //! use std::ptr::NonNull;
68 //! // This is a self-referential struct since the slice field points to the data field.
69 //! // We cannot inform the compiler about that with a normal reference,
70 //! // since this pattern cannot be described with the usual borrowing rules.
71 //! // Instead we use a raw pointer, though one which is known to not be null,
72 //! // since we know it's pointing at the string.
73 //! struct Unmovable {
75 //! slice: NonNull<String>,
76 //! _pin: PhantomPinned,
80 //! // To ensure the data doesn't move when the function returns,
81 //! // we place it in the heap where it will stay for the lifetime of the object,
82 //! // and the only way to access it would be through a pointer to it.
83 //! fn new(data: String) -> Pin<Box<Self>> {
84 //! let res = Unmovable {
86 //! // we only create the pointer once the data is in place
87 //! // otherwise it will have already moved before we even started
88 //! slice: NonNull::dangling(),
89 //! _pin: PhantomPinned,
91 //! let mut boxed = Box::pin(res);
93 //! let slice = NonNull::from(&boxed.data);
94 //! // we know this is safe because modifying a field doesn't move the whole struct
96 //! let mut_ref: Pin<&mut Self> = Pin::as_mut(&mut boxed);
97 //! Pin::get_unchecked_mut(mut_ref).slice = slice;
103 //! let unmoved = Unmovable::new("hello".to_string());
104 //! // The pointer should point to the correct location,
105 //! // so long as the struct hasn't moved.
106 //! // Meanwhile, we are free to move the pointer around.
107 //! # #[allow(unused_mut)]
108 //! let mut still_unmoved = unmoved;
109 //! assert_eq!(still_unmoved.slice, NonNull::from(&still_unmoved.data));
111 //! // Since our type doesn't implement Unpin, this will fail to compile:
112 //! // let new_unmoved = Unmovable::new("world".to_string());
113 //! // std::mem::swap(&mut *still_unmoved, &mut *new_unmoved);
116 //! # Example: intrusive doubly-linked list
118 //! In an intrusive doubly-linked list, the collection does not actually allocate
119 //! the memory for the elements itself. Allocation is controlled by the clients,
120 //! and elements can live on a stack frame that lives shorter than the collection does.
122 //! To make this work, every element has pointers to its predecessor and successor in
123 //! the list. Elements can only be added when they are pinned, because moving the elements
124 //! around would invalidate the pointers. Moreover, the `Drop` implementation of a linked
125 //! list element will patch the pointers of its predecessor and successor to remove itself
128 //! Crucially, we have to be able to rely on `drop` being called. If an element
129 //! could be deallocated or otherwise invalidated without calling `drop`, the pointers into it
130 //! from its neighbouring elements would become invalid, which would break the data structure.
132 //! Therefore, pinning also comes with a `drop`-related guarantee.
134 //! # `Drop` guarantee
136 //! The purpose of pinning is to be able to rely on the placement of some data in memory.
137 //! To make this work, not just moving the data is restricted; deallocating, repurposing, or
138 //! otherwise invalidating the memory used to store the data is restricted, too.
139 //! Concretely, for pinned data you have to maintain the invariant
140 //! that *its memory will not get invalidated from the moment it gets pinned until
141 //! when `drop` is called*. Memory can be invalidated by deallocation, but also by
142 //! replacing a [`Some(v)`] by [`None`], or calling [`Vec::set_len`] to "kill" some elements
145 //! This is exactly the kind of guarantee that the intrusive linked list from the previous
146 //! section needs to function correctly.
148 //! Notice that this guarantee does *not* mean that memory does not leak! It is still
149 //! completely okay not to ever call `drop` on a pinned element (e.g., you can still
150 //! call [`mem::forget`] on a `Pin<Box<T>>`). In the example of the doubly-linked
151 //! list, that element would just stay in the list. However you may not free or reuse the storage
152 //! *without calling `drop`*.
154 //! # `Drop` implementation
156 //! If your type uses pinning (such as the two examples above), you have to be careful
157 //! when implementing `Drop`. The `drop` function takes `&mut self`, but this
158 //! is called *even if your type was previously pinned*! It is as if the
159 //! compiler automatically called `get_unchecked_mut`.
161 //! This can never cause a problem in safe code because implementing a type that relies on pinning
162 //! requires unsafe code, but be aware that deciding to make use of pinning
163 //! in your type (for example by implementing some operation on `Pin<&[mut] Self>`)
164 //! has consequences for your `Drop` implementation as well: if an element
165 //! of your type could have been pinned, you must treat Drop as implicitly taking
166 //! `Pin<&mut Self>`.
168 //! In particular, if your type is `#[repr(packed)]`, the compiler will automatically
169 //! move fields around to be able to drop them. As a consequence, you cannot use
170 //! pinning with a `#[repr(packed)]` type.
172 //! # Projections and Structural Pinning
174 //! One interesting question arises when considering the interaction of pinning and
175 //! the fields of a struct. When can a struct have a "pinning projection", i.e.,
176 //! an operation with type `fn(Pin<&[mut] Struct>) -> Pin<&[mut] Field>`?
177 //! In a similar vein, when can a generic wrapper type (such as `Vec<T>`, `Box<T>`, or `RefCell<T>`)
178 //! have an operation with type `fn(Pin<&[mut] Wrapper<T>>) -> Pin<&[mut] T>`?
180 //! Having a pinning projection for some field means that pinning is "structural":
181 //! when the wrapper is pinned, the field must be considered pinned, too.
182 //! After all, the pinning projection lets us get a `Pin<&[mut] Field>`.
184 //! However, structural pinning comes with a few extra requirements, so not all
185 //! wrappers can be structural and hence not all wrappers can offer pinning projections:
187 //! 1. The wrapper must only be [`Unpin`] if all the structural fields are
188 //! `Unpin`. This is the default, but `Unpin` is a safe trait, so as the author of
189 //! the wrapper it is your responsibility *not* to add something like
190 //! `impl<T> Unpin for Wrapper<T>`. (Notice that adding a projection operation
191 //! requires unsafe code, so the fact that `Unpin` is a safe trait does not break
192 //! the principle that you only have to worry about any of this if you use `unsafe`.)
193 //! 2. The destructor of the wrapper must not move structural fields out of its argument. This
194 //! is the exact point that was raised in the [previous section][drop-impl]: `drop` takes
195 //! `&mut self`, but the wrapper (and hence its fields) might have been pinned before.
196 //! You have to guarantee that you do not move a field inside your `Drop` implementation.
197 //! In particular, as explained previously, this means that your wrapper type must *not*
198 //! be `#[repr(packed)]`.
199 //! 3. You must make sure that you uphold the [`Drop` guarantee][drop-guarantee]:
200 //! once your wrapper is pinned, the memory that contains the
201 //! content is not overwritten or deallocated without calling the content's destructors.
202 //! This can be tricky, as witnessed by `VecDeque<T>`: the destructor of `VecDeque<T>` can fail
203 //! to call `drop` on all elements if one of the destructors panics. This violates the
204 //! `Drop` guarantee, because it can lead to elements being deallocated without
205 //! their destructor being called. (`VecDeque` has no pinning projections, so this
206 //! does not cause unsoundness.)
207 //! 4. You must not offer any other operations that could lead to data being moved out of
208 //! the fields when your type is pinned. For example, if the wrapper contains an
209 //! `Option<T>` and there is a `take`-like operation with type
210 //! `fn(Pin<&mut Wrapper<T>>) -> Option<T>`,
211 //! that operation can be used to move a `T` out of a pinned `Wrapper<T>` -- which means
212 //! pinning cannot be structural.
214 //! For a more complex example of moving data out of a pinned type, imagine if `RefCell<T>`
215 //! had a method `fn get_pin_mut(self: Pin<&mut Self>) -> Pin<&mut T>`.
216 //! Then we could do the following:
218 //! fn exploit_ref_cell<T>(rc: Pin<&mut RefCell<T>) {
219 //! { let p = rc.as_mut().get_pin_mut(); } // Here we get pinned access to the `T`.
220 //! let rc_shr: &RefCell<T> = rc.into_ref().get_ref();
221 //! let b = rc_shr.borrow_mut();
222 //! let content = &mut *b; // And here we have `&mut T` to the same data.
225 //! This is catastrophic, it means we can first pin the content of the `RefCell<T>`
226 //! (using `RefCell::get_pin_mut`) and then move that content using the mutable
227 //! reference we got later.
229 //! For a type like `Vec<T>`, both possibilites (structural pinning or not) make sense,
230 //! and the choice is up to the author. A `Vec<T>` with structural pinning could
231 //! have `get_pin`/`get_pin_mut` projections. However, it could *not* allow calling
232 //! `pop` on a pinned `Vec<T>` because that would move the (structurally pinned) contents!
233 //! Nor could it allow `push`, which might reallocate and thus also move the contents.
234 //! A `Vec<T>` without structural pinning could `impl<T> Unpin for Vec<T>`, because the contents
235 //! are never pinned and the `Vec<T>` itself is fine with being moved as well.
237 //! In the standard library, pointer types generally do not have structural pinning,
238 //! and thus they do not offer pinning projections. This is why `Box<T>: Unpin` holds for all `T`.
239 //! It makes sense to do this for pointer types, because moving the `Box<T>`
240 //! does not actually move the `T`: the `Box<T>` can be freely movable (aka `Unpin`) even if the `T`
241 //! is not. In fact, even `Pin<Box<T>>` and `Pin<&mut T>` are always `Unpin` themselves,
242 //! for the same reason: their contents (the `T`) are pinned, but the pointers themselves
243 //! can be moved without moving the pinned data. For both `Box<T>` and `Pin<Box<T>>`,
244 //! whether the content is pinned is entirely independent of whether the pointer is
245 //! pinned, meaning pinning is *not* structural.
