Module clone_cell::clone

source ·
Expand description

Provides the PureClone trait, which is a restrictive form of Clone that does not mutate the containing Cell.

Conceptually, the relationship between Copy, Clone, and PureClone can be thought of as follows:

Copy: PureClone: Clone

PureClone is unsafe because the clone implementation must not mutate the content of Cell through the &self reference it gets with interior mutability. See this Stack Overflow answer and this Rust forum thread for details.

When this crate is built with the "derive" feature, the PureClone proc macro can be used to derive PureClone for user types.

Traits

Derive Macros
