rust-smart-pointers

Use Rc for single-threaded shared ownership and Arc for multi-threaded scenarios. This Skill provides a decision tree to select the appropriate smart pointer, ensuring thread-safe shared ownership and preventing concurrency bugs.

Achieve interior mutability using Cell, RefCell, or Mutex. This Skill explains how to safely mutate data accessed immutably, demonstrating patterns within the script-kit-gpui framework to prevent common concurrency bugs.

The best way to share data across threads is using Arc combined with Mutex or RwLock. This Skill details their application for thread-safe state management and addresses common anti-patterns in complex applications.

Yes, it demonstrates how Box, Rc, Arc, RefCell, and others are applied within the script-kit-gpui codebase. It covers robust UI development and thread-safe state management specific to that environment.

Deadlocks often occur from incorrect Mutex usage or acquiring multiple locks. This Skill addresses common smart pointer anti-patterns and provides a selection decision tree to avoid these memory management pitfalls.
