<p>Using this macro, it is possible to have <code>static</code>s that require code to be
executed at runtime in order to be initialized.
This includes anything requiring heap allocations, like vectors or hash maps,
as well as anything that requires function calls to be computed.</p>
<h2 id="syntax"><a href="#syntax">Syntax</a></h2>
<div class="example-wrap ignore"><div class='tooltip'></div><pre class="rust rust-example-rendered"><code><span class="macro">lazy_static! </span>{
[<span class="kw">pub</span>] <span class="kw">static </span><span class="kw-2">ref </span>NAME_1: TYPE_1 = EXPR_1;
[<span class="kw">pub</span>] <span class="kw">static </span><span class="kw-2">ref </span>NAME_2: TYPE_2 = EXPR_2;
...
[<span class="kw">pub</span>] <span class="kw">static </span><span class="kw-2">ref </span>NAME_N: TYPE_N = EXPR_N;
}</code></pre></div>
<p>Attributes (including doc comments) are supported as well:</p>
<div class="example-wrap"><pre class="rust rust-example-rendered"><code><span class="macro">lazy_static! </span>{
<span class="doccomment">/// This is an example for using doc comment attributes
</span><span class="kw">static </span><span class="kw-2">ref </span>EXAMPLE: u8 = <span class="number">42</span>;
}</code></pre></div>
<h2 id="semantics"><a href="#semantics">Semantics</a></h2>
<p>For a given <code>static ref NAME: TYPE = EXPR;</code>, the macro generates a unique type that
implements <code>Deref&lt;TYPE&gt;</code> and stores it in a static with name <code>NAME</code>. (Attributes end up
attaching to this type.)</p>
<p>On first deref, <code>EXPR</code> gets evaluated and stored internally, such that all further derefs
can return a reference to the same object. Note that this can lead to deadlocks
if you have multiple lazy statics that depend on each other in their initialization.</p>
<p>Apart from the lazy initialization, the resulting “static ref” variables
have generally the same properties as regular “static” variables:</p>
<ul>
<li>Any type in them needs to fulfill the <code>Sync</code> trait.</li>
<li>If the type has a destructor, then it will not run when the process exits.</li>
</ul>

<h2 id="implementation-details"><a href="#implementation-details">Implementation details</a></h2>
<p>The <code>Deref</code> implementation uses a hidden static variable that is guarded by an atomic check on each access.</p>

<p>This crate provides one cargo feature:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>spin_no_std</code>: This allows using this crate in a no-std environment, by depending on the standalone <code>spin</code> crate.</li>
