// cow1.rs
// This exercise explores the Cow, or Clone-On-Write type.
// Cow is a clone-on-write smart pointer.
// It can enclose and provide immutable access to borrowed data, and clone the data lazily when mutation or ownership is required.
// The type is designed to work with general borrowed data via the Borrow trait.
use std::borrow::Cow;
fn abs_all<'a, 'b>(input: &'a mut Cow<'b, [i32]>) -> &'a mut Cow<'b, [i32]> {
for i in 0..input.len() {
let v = input[i];
if v < 0 {
// Clones into a vector if not already owned.
input.to_mut()[i] = -v;
}
}

}
fn main() {
// No clone occurs because `input` doesn't need to be mutated.
let slice = [0, 1, 2];
let mut input = Cow::from(&slice[..]);
match abs_all(&mut input) {

}
// Clone occurs because `input` needs to be mutated.
let slice = [-1, 0, 1];
let mut input = Cow::from(&slice[..]);
