pub struct RcRef<T> { /* private fields */ }
Expand description

An RcRef encapsulates a reference counted pointer, just like a regular std::rc::Rc. However, unlike a regular Rc, it can be remapped so that it dereferences to any value that’s reachable through the reference-counted pointer. This is achieved through the associated method, RcRef::map(), similar to how std::cell::Ref::map() works. Example:


struct Stuff {
  foo: u32,
  bar: String,
}

let stuff_rc = Rc::new(Stuff {
  foo: 42,
  bar: "hello".to_owned(),
});

// `foo_rc` and `bar_rc` dereference to different types, however
// they share a reference count.
let foo_rc: RcRef<u32> = RcRef::map(stuff_rc.clone(), |v| &v.foo);
let bar_rc: RcRef<String> = RcRef::map(stuff_rc, |v| &v.bar);
