This commit resolves the race condition in the `get_mut` and `make_unique` functions, which arose through interaction with weak pointers. The basic strategy is to "lock" the weak pointer count when trying to establish uniqueness, by reusing the field as a simple spinlock. The overhead for normal use of `Arc` is expected to be minimal -- it will be *none* when only strong pointers are used, and only requires a move from atomic increment to CAS for usage of weak pointers. The commit also removes the `unsafe` and deprecated status of these functions. Closes #24880 r? @alexcrichton cc @metajack @SimonSapin @Ms2ger |
