One-shot locks that panic instead of (dead)locking on contention.

one-shot-mutex

One-shot locks that panic instead of (dead)locking on contention.

These locks allow no contention and panic instead of blocking on lock if they are already locked. This is useful in situations where contention would be a bug, such as in single-threaded programs that would deadlock on contention.

use one_shot_mutex::OneShotMutex;

static X: OneShotMutex<i32> = OneShotMutex::new(42);

let x = X.lock();

// This panics instead of deadlocking.
// let x2 = X.lock();

// Once we unlock the mutex, we can lock it again.
drop(x);
let x = X.lock();
