TL;DR - Why `read_lock` and `write_lock`
|
||||
---------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
The `Dynamic` API that casts it to a reference to a particular data type is `read_lock`
|
||||
(for an immutable reference) and `write_lock` (for a mutable reference).
|
||||
|
||||
As the naming shows, something is _locked_ in order to allow this access, and that something
|
||||
is a _shared value_ created by [capturing][automatic currying] variables from [closures].
|
||||
|
||||
Shared values are implemented as `Rc<RefCell<Dynamic>>` (`Arc<RwLock<Dynamic>>` under [`sync`]).
|
||||
|
||||
If the value is _not_ a shared value, or if running under [`no_closure`] where there is
|
||||
no [capturing][automatic currying], this API de-sugars to a simple `downcast_ref` and `downcast_mut`.
|
||||
|
||||
If the value is a shared value, then it is first locked and the returned lock guard
|
||||
then allows access to the underlying value in the specified type.
