//! Types which pin data to its location in memory
//!
//! see the [standard library module] for more information
//! It is sometimes useful to have objects that are guaranteed to not move,
//! in the sense that their placement in memory in consistent, and can thus be relied upon.
//!
//! [standard library module]: ../../std/pin/index.html
//! A prime example of such a scenario would be building self-referencial structs,
//! since moving an object with pointers to itself will invalidate them,
//! which could cause undefined behavior.
//!
//! In order to prevent objects from moving, they must be *pinned*,
//! by wrapping the data in special pointer types, such as [`PinMut`] and [`PinBox`].
//! These restrict access to the underlying data to only be immutable by implementing [`Deref`],
//! unless the type implements the [`Unpin`] trait,
//! which indicates that it doesn't need these restrictions and can be safely mutated,
//! by implementing [`DerefMut`].
//!
//! This is done because, while modifying an object can be done in-place,
//! it might also relocate a buffer when its at full capacity,
//! or it might replace one object with another without logically "moving" them with [`swap`].
//!
//! [`PinMut`]: struct.PinMut.html
//! [`PinBox`]: struct.PinBox.html
//! [`Unpin`]: ../../core/marker/trait.Unpin.html
//! [`DerefMut`]: ../../core/ops/trait.DerefMut.html
//! [`Deref`]: ../../core/ops/trait.Deref.html
//! [`swap`]: ../../core/mem/fn.swap.html
//!
//! # Examples
//!
//! ```rust
//! #![feature(pin)]
//!
//! use std::pin::PinBox;
//! use std::marker::Pinned;
//! use std::ptr::NonNull;
//!
//! // This is a self referencial struct since the slice field points to the data field.
//! // We cannot inform the compiler about that with a normal reference,
//! // since this pattern cannot be described with the usual borrowing rules.
//! // Instead we use a raw pointer, though one which is known to not be null,
//! // since we know it's pointing at the string.
//! struct Unmovable {
//! data: String,
//! slice: NonNull<String>,
//! _pin: Pinned,
//! }
//!
//! impl Unmovable {
//! // To ensure the data doesn't move when the function returns,
//! // we place it in the heap where it will stay for the lifetime of the object,
//! // and the only way to access it would be through a pointer to it.
//! fn new(data: String) -> PinBox<Self> {
//! let res = Unmovable {
//! data,
//! // we only create the pointer once the data is in place
//! // otherwise it will have already moved before we even started
//! slice: NonNull::dangling(),
//! _pin: Pinned,
//! };
//! let mut boxed = PinBox::new(res);
//!
//! let slice = NonNull::from(&boxed.data);
//! // we know this is safe because modifying a field doesn't move the whole struct
//! unsafe { PinBox::get_mut(&mut boxed).slice = slice };
//! boxed
//! }
//! }
//!
//! let unmoved = Unmovable::new("hello".to_string());
//! // The pointer should point to the correct location,
//! // so long as the struct hasn't moved.
//! // Meanwhile, we are free to move the pointer around.
//! let mut still_unmoved = unmoved;
//! assert_eq!(still_unmoved.slice, NonNull::from(&still_unmoved.data));
//!
//! // Now the only way to access to data (safely) is immutably,
//! // so this will fail to compile:
//! // still_unmoved.data.push_str(" world");
//!
//! ```
