pub fn location<T>(value: T) -> T where
T: ReprValue,
Expand description
Get the new location of an object.
The Value
type is effectly a pointer to a Ruby object. Ruby’s garbage
collector will avoid moving objects exposed to extensions, unless the
object has been marked with mark_movable
. When implementing
DataTypeFunctions::compact
you will need to update any Ruby objects you are storing.
Returns a new Value
that is pointing to the object that value
used to
point to. If value
hasn’t moved, simply returns value
.
