[−][src]Struct crossbeam_deque::Deque

[+] Show declaration

pub struct Deque<T> { /* fields omitted */ }

[−]

A concurrent work-stealing deque.

A deque has two ends: bottom and top. Elements can be pushed into the bottom and popped from the bottom. The top end is special in that elements can only be stolen from it using the steal method.

Stealers

While Deque doesn't implement Sync, it can create Stealers using the method stealer, and those can be easily shared among multiple threads. Stealers can only steal elements from the top end of the deque.

Capacity

The data structure is dynamically grows as elements are inserted and removed from it. If the internal buffer gets full, a new one twice the size of the original is allocated. Similarly, if it is less than a quarter full, a new buffer half the size of the original is allocated.

In order to prevent frequent resizing (reallocations may be costly), it is possible to specify a large minimum capacity for the deque by calling Deque::with_min_capacity. This constructor will make sure that the internal buffer never shrinks below that size.

Examples

use crossbeam_deque::{Deque, Steal};

let d = Deque::with_min_capacity(1000);
let s = d.stealer();

d.push('a');
d.push('b');
d.push('c');

assert_eq!(d.pop(), Some('c'));
assert_eq!(d.steal(), Steal::Data('a'));
assert_eq!(s.steal(), Steal::Data('b'));

Methods

`impl<T> Deque<T>`[src][−]

`pub fn new() -> Deque<T>`[src][−]

Returns a new deque.

The internal buffer is destructed as soon as the deque and all its stealers get dropped.

Examples

use crossbeam_deque::Deque;

let d = Deque::<i32>::new();

`pub fn with_min_capacity(min_cap: usize) -> Deque<T>`[src][−]

Returns a new deque with the specified minimum capacity.

If the capacity is not a power of two, it will be rounded up to the next one.

Examples

use crossbeam_deque::Deque;

// The minimum capacity will be rounded up to 1024.
let d = Deque::<i32>::with_min_capacity(1000);

`pub fn is_empty(&self) -> bool`[src][−]

Returns true if the deque is empty.

Examples

use crossbeam_deque::Deque;

let d = Deque::new();
assert!(d.is_empty());
d.push("foo");
assert!(!d.is_empty());

`pub fn len(&self) -> usize`[src][−]

Returns the number of elements in the deque.

Examples

use crossbeam_deque::Deque;

let d = Deque::new();
d.push('a');
d.push('b');
d.push('c');
assert_eq!(d.len(), 3);

`pub fn push(&self, value: T)`[src][−]

Pushes an element into the bottom of the deque.

If the internal buffer is full, a new one twice the capacity of the current one will be allocated.

Examples

use crossbeam_deque::Deque;

let d = Deque::new();
d.push(1);
d.push(2);

`pub fn pop(&self) -> Option<T>`[src][−]

Pops an element from the bottom of the deque.

If the internal buffer is less than a quarter full, a new buffer half the capacity of the current one will be allocated.

Examples

use crossbeam_deque::Deque;

let d = Deque::new();
d.push(1);
d.push(2);

assert_eq!(d.pop(), Some(2));
assert_eq!(d.pop(), Some(1));
assert_eq!(d.pop(), None);

`pub fn steal(&self) -> Steal<T>`[src][−]

Steals an element from the top of the deque.

Unlike most methods in concurrent data structures, if another operation gets in the way while attempting to steal data, this method will return immediately with Steal::Retry instead of retrying.

If the internal buffer is less than a quarter full, a new buffer half the capacity of the current one will be allocated.

Examples

use crossbeam_deque::{Deque, Steal};

let d = Deque::new();
d.push(1);
d.push(2);

// Attempt to steal an element.
//
// No other threads are working with the deque, so this time we know for sure that we
// won't get `Steal::Retry` as the result.
assert_eq!(d.steal(), Steal::Data(1));

// Attempt to steal an element, but keep retrying if we get `Retry`.
loop {
    match d.steal() {
        Steal::Empty => panic!("should steal something"),
        Steal::Data(data) => {
            assert_eq!(data, 2);
            break;
        }
        Steal::Retry => {}
    }
}

`pub fn stealer(&self) -> Stealer<T>`[src][−]

Creates a stealer that can be shared with other threads.

Examples

use crossbeam_deque::{Deque, Steal};
use std::thread;

let d = Deque::new();
d.push(1);
d.push(2);

let s = d.stealer();

thread::spawn(move || {
    assert_eq!(s.steal(), Steal::Data(1));
}).join().unwrap();
