<!-- tidy:crate-doc:start -->
A lightweight version of [pin-project] written with declarative macros.
## Usage
Add this to your `Cargo.toml`:
```toml
[dependencies]
pin-project-lite = "0.2"
```
*Compiler support: requires rustc 1.37+*
## Examples
[`pin_project!`] macro creates a projection type covering all the fields of
struct.
```rust
use std::pin::Pin;
use pin_project_lite::pin_project;
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
}
}
```
To use [`pin_project!`] on enums, you need to name the projection type
returned from the method.
```rust
use std::pin::Pin;
use pin_project_lite::pin_project;
pin_project! {
#[project = EnumProj]
enum Enum<T, U> {
Variant { #[pin] pinned: T, unpinned: U },
}
}
impl<T, U> Enum<T, U> {
fn method(self: Pin<&mut Self>) {
match self.project() {
EnumProj::Variant { pinned, unpinned } => {
let _: Pin<&mut T> = pinned;
let _: &mut U = unpinned;
}
}
}
}
```
## [pin-project] vs pin-project-lite
Here are some similarities and differences compared to [pin-project].
### Similar: Safety
pin-project-lite guarantees safety in much the same way as [pin-project].
Both are completely safe unless you write other unsafe code.
### Different: Minimal design
This library does not tackle as expansive of a range of use cases as
[pin-project] does. If your use case is not already covered, please use
[pin-project].
### Different: No proc-macro related dependencies
This is the **only** reason to use this crate. However, **if you already
have proc-macro related dependencies in your crate's dependency graph, there
is no benefit from using this crate.** (Note: There is almost no difference
in the amount of code generated between [pin-project] and pin-project-lite.)
### Different: No useful error messages
This macro does not handle any invalid input. So error messages are not to
be useful in most cases. If you do need useful error messages, then upon
error you can pass the same input to [pin-project] to receive a helpful
description of the compile error.
### Different: No support for custom Unpin implementation
pin-project supports this by [`UnsafeUnpin`][unsafe-unpin]. (`!Unpin` is supported by both [pin-project][not-unpin] and [pin-project-lite][not-unpin-lite].)
### Different: No support for tuple structs and tuple variants
pin-project supports this.
