Struct idcontain::Id

pub struct Id<T> { /* fields omitted */ }

The Id of an element of type T as returned by IdSlab insertions.

Id-s are opaque, but Copy, comparable and hashable. Think of an Id as a safe *const T which you can dereference if you have a reference to the originating IdSlab.

Implementation

Internally an Id is implemented as an (index, tag) pair. The index points to a slot in the IdSlab, while the tag allows disambiguating between values when a slot gets reused (a matching tag is stored in the slot and is incremented every time a value is removed from that slot).

Methods

impl<T> Id<T>

fn invalid() -> Self

Returns an invalid Id (which will never be returned by a container).

Panics

None.

Example

let id_slab: IdSlab<&'static str> = IdSlab::new();
assert!(!id_slab.contains(Id::invalid()));

fn cast<U>(self) -> Id<U>

Casts the Id to an Id of a different type.

This is handy when using IdSlab to generate proxy Id-s for an IdMap.

Panics

None.

Example

let mut id_slab: IdSlab<()> = IdSlab::new();
let id: Id<u32> = id_slab.insert(()).cast();
