Module bitvec::access

Memory Bus Access Management

bitvec allows a program to produce handles over memory that do not logically alias their bits, but may alias their hardware locations. This module provides a unified interface for memory accesses that can be specialized to handle such aliased and unaliased events.

The BitAccess trait provides capabilities to access individual or clustered bits in memory elements through shared, maybe-aliased, references. Its implementations are responsible for coördinating synchronization and contention as needed.

The BitSafe trait guards Radium types in order to forbid writing through shared-only references, and require access to an &mut exclusive reference for modification. This permits other components in the crate that do not have BitSafe reference guards to safely mutate a referent element that a BitSafed reference can observe, while preventing that reference from emitting mutations of its own.
