📚 Advanced Topics To Master​

1. Advanced Ownership & Lifetimes 🔴​

Bạn đã biết: Basics ownership, borrowing Học tiếp: Advanced lifetime patterns

Topics:

  • Multiple lifetime parameters
  • Lifetime elision rules
  • Higher-ranked trait bounds (HRTBs)
  • 'static lifetime deep dive
  • Self-referential structs

Resources:

Project Ideas:

// Self-referential struct với Pin
struct SelfReferential<'a> {
    data: String,
    ptr: &'a str,
}

// Advanced lifetime bounds
fn longest_with_announcement<'a, T>(
    x: &'a str,
    y: &'a str,
    ann: T,
) -> &'a str
where
    T: Display,
{
    println!("Announcement: {}", ann);
    if x.len() > y.len() { x } else { y }
}

2. Advanced Traits & Generics 🔴​

Topics:

  • Associated types vs generic parameters
  • Trait objects (dyn Trait)
  • Sized vs ?Sized
  • Blanket implementations
  • Specialization (unstable)
  • GATs (Generic Associated Types)

Example:

// Associated types
trait Iterator {
    type Item;
    fn next(&mut self) -> Option<Self::Item>;
}

// Trait bounds
fn print_all<T>(items: &[T])
where
    T: Display + Clone,
{
    for item in items {
        println!("{}", item);
    }
}

// Trait objects
let shapes: Vec<Box<dyn Shape>> = vec![
    Box::new(Circle { radius: 5.0 }),
    Box::new(Rectangle { width: 10.0, height: 5.0 }),
];

3. Async/Await & Concurrency 🔴​

Foundation: Async basics Master: Advanced async patterns

Topics:

  • Async runtimes (Tokio, async-std)
  • Futures và Streams
  • Async traits
  • Pinning
  • Select! macro
  • Channels và actors
  • Shared state với Arc<Mutex<T>>

Example Project: Real-time Chat Server

use tokio::net::TcpListener;
use tokio::sync::broadcast;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let listener = TcpListener::bind("127.0.0.1:8080").await?;
    let (tx, _rx) = broadcast::channel(100);

    loop {
        let (socket, addr) = listener.accept().await?;
        let tx = tx.clone();
        let mut rx = tx.subscribe();

        tokio::spawn(async move {
            // Handle client connection
        });
    }
}

Resources:

4. Macros - Declarative & Procedural 🔴​

Topics:

  • Declarative macros (macro_rules!)
  • Procedural macros
    • Custom derive
    • Attribute macros
    • Function-like macros
  • Macro hygiene
  • syn và quote crates

Example: Custom Derive Macro

// Usage
#[derive(Builder)]
struct User {
    name: String,
    age: u32,
}

// Generated code allows:
let user = User::builder()
    .name("Alice".to_string())
    .age(25)
    .build();

5. Unsafe Rust 🔴​

⚠️ Caution: Only when necessary!

Topics:

  • Raw pointers
  • Unsafe functions
  • Unsafe traits
  • FFI (Foreign Function Interface)
  • Inline assembly

When to use:

  • Performance-critical code
  • FFI with C libraries
  • Low-level system programming
  • Implementing unsafe abstractions

Example:

unsafe fn dangerous() {
    let mut num = 5;
    let r1 = &num as *const i32;
    let r2 = &mut num as *mut i32;

    unsafe {
        println!("r1: {}", *r1);
        *r2 = 10;
    }
}
