-
-/// Types that can be safely shared between tasks when aliased.
-///
-/// The precise definition is: a type `T` is `Sync` if `&T` is
-/// thread-safe. In other words, there is no possibility of data races
-/// when passing `&T` references between tasks.
-///
-/// As one would expect, primitive types like `u8` and `f64` are all
-/// `Sync`, and so are simple aggregate types containing them (like
-/// tuples, structs and enums). More instances of basic `Sync` types
-/// include "immutable" types like `&T` and those with simple
-/// inherited mutability, such as `Box<T>`, `Vec<T>` and most other
-/// collection types. (Generic parameters need to be `Sync` for their
-/// container to be `Sync`.)
-///
-/// A somewhat surprising consequence of the definition is `&mut T` is
-/// `Sync` (if `T` is `Sync`) even though it seems that it might
-/// provide unsynchronised mutation. The trick is a mutable reference
-/// stored in an aliasable reference (that is, `& &mut T`) becomes
-/// read-only, as if it were a `& &T`, hence there is no risk of a data
-/// race.
-///
-/// Types that are not `Sync` are those that have "interior
-/// mutability" in a non-thread-safe way, such as `Cell` and `RefCell`
-/// in `std::cell`. These types allow for mutation of their contents
-/// even when in an immutable, aliasable slot, e.g. the contents of
-/// `&Cell<T>` can be `.set`, and do not ensure data races are
-/// impossible, hence they cannot be `Sync`. A higher level example
-/// of a non-`Sync` type is the reference counted pointer
-/// `std::rc::Rc`, because any reference `&Rc<T>` can clone a new
-/// reference, which modifies the reference counts in a non-atomic
-/// way.
-///
-/// For cases when one does need thread-safe interior mutability,
-/// types like the atomics in `std::sync` and `Mutex` & `RWLock` in
-/// the `sync` crate do ensure that any mutation cannot cause data
-/// races.  Hence these types are `Sync`.
-///
-/// Users writing their own types with interior mutability (or anything
-/// else that is not thread-safe) should use the `NoSync` marker type
-/// (from `std::kinds::marker`) to ensure that the compiler doesn't
-/// consider the user-defined type to be `Sync`.  Any types with
-/// interior mutability must also use the `std::cell::UnsafeCell` wrapper
-/// around the value(s) which can be mutated when behind a `&`
-/// reference; not doing this is undefined behaviour (for example,
-/// `transmute`-ing from `&T` to `&mut T` is illegal).
