# Struct std::sync::PoisonError

1.0.0 · source ·

    pub struct PoisonError<T> { /* private fields */ }

Expand description

A type of error which can be returned whenever a lock is acquired.

Both `Mutex`es and `RwLock`s are poisoned whenever a thread fails while the lock is held. The precise semantics for when a lock is poisoned is documented on each lock, but once a lock is poisoned then all future acquisitions will return this error.

## Examples

    use std::sync::{Arc, Mutex};
    use std::thread;

    let mutex = Arc::new(Mutex::new(1));

    // poison the mutex
    let c_mutex = Arc::clone(&mutex);
    let _ = thread::spawn(move || {
        let mut data = c_mutex.lock().unwrap();
        *data = 2;
        panic!();
    }).join();

    match mutex.lock() {
        Ok(_) => unreachable!(),
        Err(p_err) => {
            let data = p_err.get_ref();
            println!("recovered: {data}");
        }
    };

## Implementations§

source§

### impl<T> PoisonError<T>

1.2.0 · source

#### pub fn new(guard: T) -> PoisonError<T>

Creates a `PoisonError`.

This is generally created by methods like `Mutex::lock` or `RwLock::read`.

1.2.0 · source

#### pub fn into_inner(self) -> T

Consumes this error indicating that a lock is poisoned, returning the underlying guard to allow access regardless.

##### Examples

    use std::collections::HashSet;
    use std::sync::{Arc, Mutex};
    use std::thread;

    let mutex = Arc::new(Mutex::new(HashSet::new()));

    // poison the mutex
    let c_mutex = Arc::clone(&mutex);
    let _ = thread::spawn(move || {
        let mut data = c_mutex.lock().unwrap();
        data.insert(10);
        panic!();
    }).join();

    let p_err = mutex.lock().unwrap_err();
    let data = p_err.into_inner();
    println!("recovered {} items", data.len());
