Macro pin_utils::unsafe_pinned

macro_rules! unsafe_pinned {
    ($f : tt : $t : ty) => { ... };
}

A pinned projection of a struct field.

Safety

To make using this macro safe, three things need to be ensured:

• If the struct implements Drop, the drop method is not allowed to move the value of the field.
• If the struct wants to implement Unpin, it has to do so conditionally: The struct can only implement Unpin if the field’s type is Unpin.
• The struct must not be #[repr(packed)].

Example

use pin_utils::unsafe_pinned;
use std::marker::Unpin;
use std::pin::Pin;

struct Foo<T> {
    field: T,
}

impl<T> Foo<T> {
    unsafe_pinned!(field: T);

    fn baz(mut self: Pin<&mut Self>) {
        let _: Pin<&mut T> = self.field(); // Pinned reference to the field
    }
}

impl<T: Unpin> Unpin for Foo<T> {} // Conditional Unpin impl

Note: borrowing the field multiple times requires using .as_mut() to avoid consuming the Pin.
