# 1.0.0[−][src]Struct std::sync::PoisonError

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

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 = mutex.clone();
    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);
        }
    };Run

## Methods

### `impl<T> PoisonError<T>`[src]

#### `pub fn new(guard: T) -> PoisonError<T>`1.2.0[src]

Creates a `PoisonError`.

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

#### `pub fn into_inner(self) -> T` 1.2.0[src]

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 = mutex.clone();
    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());Run
