Struct MessageAddress 

pub struct MessageAddress { /* private fields */ }

Represents the addressable endpoint of an agent, combining its identity and inbox channel.

A MessageAddress contains the necessary information to send a message to a specific agent: its unique identifier (sender, an Ern) and the sender half (address) of the MPSC channel connected to its inbox.

This struct is typically used within message envelopes ([OutboundEnvelope]) to specify the sender and recipient of a message.

Implementations

impl MessageAddress

pub fn new(address: Sender<Envelope>, sender: Ern) -> Self

Constructs a new MessageAddress.

impl MessageAddress

pub fn name(&self) -> &str

Returns the root name component of the agent’s identifier (Ern).

This provides a simple string representation of the agent’s base name.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for MessageAddress

fn clone(&self) -> Self

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for MessageAddress

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Default for MessageAddress

fn default() -> Self

Creates a default MessageAddress with a default Ern and a closed channel sender.

This is primarily useful for placeholder initialization before a real address is known. Messages cannot be successfully sent using the default address’s channel sender.

impl PartialEq for MessageAddress

Implements equality comparison for MessageAddress based on the sender’s Ern.

fn eq(&self, other: &Self) -> bool

Equality operator ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Inequality operator !=.
