An unsafe crate to wrap a reference to make it Send
+ Sync
to be able to transfer it between threads. Make sure the reference is still valid when unwrapping it.
Add this to your Cargo.toml
file:
[dependencies]
sendify = "1.1"
use std::thread;
fn main() {
let data = "my string".to_owned();
let ref_val = &data;
// Wrap the reference to make it Send + Sync.
let sendify_val = sendify::wrap(ref_val);
thread::spawn(move || {
// Unwrap the reference, here make sure that reference is still valid otherwise
// the app might crash.
let ref_val = unsafe { sendify_val.unwrap() };
assert_eq!(ref_val, "my string")
})
.join()
.unwrap();
assert_eq!(data, "my string")
}
