Struct left_right::aliasing::Aliased

#[repr(transparent)]
pub struct Aliased<T, D> where
    D: DropBehavior,  { /* fields omitted */ }

A T that is aliased.

You should be able to mostly ignore this type, as it can generally be treated exactly like a &T. However, there are some minor exceptions around forwarding traits – since Aliased is a wrapper type around T, it cannot automatically forward traits it does not know about to &T. This means that if your &T implements, say, Serialize or some custom Borrow<Q>, Aliased<T> will not implement that same trait. You can work around this either by implementing your trait specifically for Aliased<T> where possible, or by manually dereferencing to get the &T before using the trait.

Implementations

impl<T, D> Aliased<T, D> where
    D: DropBehavior, 

pub unsafe fn alias(&self) -> Self

Create an alias of the inner T.

Safety

This method is only safe to call as long as you ensure that the alias is never used after an Aliased<T, D> of self where D::DO_DROP is true is dropped, and as long as no &mut T is ever given out while some Aliased<T> may still be used. The returned type assumes that it is always safe to dereference into &T, which would not be true if either of those invariants were broken.

pub fn from(t: T) -> Self

Construct an aliased value around a T.

This method is safe since it effectively leaks T. Note that we do not implement From<T> because we do not want users to construct Aliased<T>s on their own. If they did, they would almost certain end up with incorrect drop behavior.

pub unsafe fn change_drop<D2: DropBehavior>(self) -> Aliased<T, D2>

Turn this aliased T into one with a different drop behavior.

Safety

It is always safe to change an Aliased from a dropping D to a non-dropping D. Going the other way around is only safe if self is the last alias for the T.
