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...

Follow these steps:

  1. Open the Cargo.toml file that was generated earlier for you.

  2. In the folder bin, create a file called raii.rs.

  3. Add the following code and run it with cargo run --bin raii:

1   use std::ops::Deref;
2
3 // This represents a low level, close to the metal OS feature
that
4 // needs to be locked and unlocked in some way in order to be
accessed
5 // and is usually unsafe to use directly
6 struct SomeOsSpecificFunctionalityHandle;
7
8 // This is a safe wrapper around the low level struct
9 struct SomeOsFunctionality<T> {
10 // The data variable represents whatever useful information
11 // the user might provide to the OS functionality
12 data: T,
13 // The underlying struct is usually not savely movable,
14 // so it's given a constant address in a box
15 inner: Box<SomeOsSpecificFunctionalityHandle>,
16 }
17
18 // Access to a locked SomeOsFunctionality is wrapped in a guard
19 // that automatically unlocks...
