|
|
|
<p><code>Slab</code> provides pre-allocated storage for a single data type. If many values
|
|
|
of a single type are being allocated, it can be more efficient to
|
|
|
pre-allocate the necessary storage. Since the size of the type is uniform,
|
|
|
memory fragmentation can be avoided. Storing, clearing, and lookup
|
|
|
operations become very cheap.</p>
|
|
|
<p>While <code>Slab</code> may look like other Rust collections, it is not intended to be
|
|
|
used as a general purpose collection. The primary difference between <code>Slab</code>
|
|
|
and <code>Vec</code> is that <code>Slab</code> returns the key when storing the value.</p>
|
|
|
<p>It is important to note that keys may be reused. In other words, once a
|
|
|
value associated with a given key is removed from a slab, that key may be
|
|
|
returned from future calls to <code>insert</code>.</p>

<p>Sometimes it is useful to be able to associate the key with the value being

inserted in the slab. This can be done with the <code>vacant_entry</code> API as such:</p>

|
|
|
<p>It is generally a good idea to specify the desired capacity of a slab at
|
|
|
creation time. Note that <code>Slab</code> will grow the internal capacity when
|
|
|
attempting to insert a new value once the existing capacity has been reached.
|
|
|
To avoid this, add a check.</p>

<h1 id="capacity-and-reallocation" class="section-header"><a href="#capacity-and-reallocation">Capacity and reallocation</a></h1>
|
|
|
<p>The capacity of a slab is the amount of space allocated for any future
|
|
|
values that will be inserted in the slab. This is not to be confused with
|
|
|
the <em>length</em> of the slab, which specifies the number of actual values
|
|
|
currently being inserted. If a slab's length is equal to its capacity, the
|
|
|
next value inserted into the slab will require growing the slab by
|
|
|
reallocating.</p>
|
|
|
<p>For example, a slab with capacity 10 and length 0 would be an empty slab
|
|
|
with space for 10 more stored values. Storing 10 or fewer elements into the
|
|
|
slab will not change its capacity or cause reallocation to occur. However,
|
|
|
if the slab length is increased to 11 (due to another <code>insert</code>), it will
|
|
|
have to reallocate, which can be slow. For this reason, it is recommended to
|
|
|
use <a href="struct.Slab.html#with_capacity"><code>Slab::with_capacity</code></a> whenever possible to specify how many values the
|
|
|
slab is expected to store.</p>
|
|
|
<h1 id="implementation" class="section-header"><a href="#implementation">Implementation</a></h1>
|
|
|
<p><code>Slab</code> is backed by a <code>Vec</code> of slots. Each slot is either occupied or
|
|
|
vacant. <code>Slab</code> maintains a stack of vacant slots using a linked list. To
|
|
|
find a vacant slot, the stack is popped. When a slot is released, it is
|
|
|
pushed onto the stack.</p>
|
|
|
<p>If there are no more available slots in the stack, then <code>Vec::reserve(1)</code> is
|
|
|
called and a new slot is created.</p>
