Struct clear_on_drop::ClearOnDrop

pub struct ClearOnDrop<P> where
    P: DerefMut,
    P::Target: Clear,  { /* fields omitted */ }

Zeroizes a storage location when dropped.

This struct contains a reference to a memory location, either as a mutable borrow (&mut T), or as a owned container (Box<T> or similar). When this struct is dropped, the referenced location is overwritten with its Default value.

Example

#[derive(Default)]
struct MyData {
    value: u32,
}

let mut place = MyData { value: 0 };
{
    let mut key = ClearOnDrop::new(&mut place);
    key.value = 0x01234567;
    // ...
}   // key is dropped here
assert_eq!(place.value, 0);

Methods

impl<P> ClearOnDrop<P> where
    P: DerefMut,
    P::Target: Clear, 

fn new(place: P) -> Self

Creates a new ClearOnDrop which clears place on drop.

The place parameter can be a &mut T, a Box<T>, or other containers which behave like Box<T>.

Note: only the first level of dereference will be cleared. Do not use &mut Box<T> or similar as the place, since the heap contents won't be cleared in that case. If you need the place back, use ClearOnDrop::into_place(...) instead of a borrow.

fn into_place(c: Self) -> P

Consumes the ClearOnDrop, returning the place after clearing.

Note: this is an associated function, which means that you have to call it as ClearOnDrop::into_place(c) instead of c.into_place(). This is so that there is no conflict with a method on the inner type.

fn into_uncleared_place(c: Self) -> P

Consumes the ClearOnDrop, returning the place without clearing.

Note: this is an associated function, which means that you have to call it as ClearOnDrop::into_uncleared_place(c) instead of c.into_uncleared_place(). This is so that there is no conflict with a method on the inner type.
