A crate for safe and ergonomic [pin-projection].

Usage

Add this to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
pin-project = "1"

Examples

[#[pinproject]][pinproject] attribute creates projection types covering all the fields of struct or enum.

use std::pin::Pin;

use pinproject::pinproject;

#[pin_project] struct Struct<T, U> { #[pin] pinned: T, unpinned: U, }

impl<T, U> Struct<T, U> { fn method(self: Pin<&mut Self>) { let this = self.project(); let _: Pin<&mut T> = this.pinned; // Pinned reference to the field let _: &mut U = this.unpinned; // Normal reference to the field } }

[code like this will be generated][struct-default-expanded]

To use #[pin_project] on enums, you need to name the projection type returned from the method.

use std::pin::Pin;

use pinproject::pinproject;

#[pin_project(project = EnumProj)] enum Enum<T, U> { Pinned(#[pin] T), Unpinned(U), }

impl<T, U> Enum<T, U> { fn method(self: Pin<&mut Self>) { match self.project() { EnumProj::Pinned(x) => { let _: Pin<&mut T> = x; } EnumProj::Unpinned(y) => { let _: &mut U = y; } } } }

[code like this will be generated][enum-default-expanded]

See [#[pinproject]][pinproject] attribute for more details, and see [examples] directory for more examples and generated code.
