Struct emacs::Value

pub struct Value<'e> {
    pub env: &'e Env,
    // some fields omitted
}

A type that represents Lisp values. Values of this type can be copied around, but are lifetime-bound to the Env they come from.

They are also "proxy values" that are only useful when converted to Rust values, or used as arguments when calling back into the Lisp runtime.

Fields

env: &'e Env

Methods

impl<'e> Value<'e>

pub fn is_not_nil(&self) -> bool

pub fn eq(&self, other: Value<'e>) -> bool

pub fn into_rust<T: FromLisp<'e>>(self) -> Result<T>

Converts this value into a Rust value of the given type.

pub fn into_ref<T: 'static>(self) -> Result<Ref<'e, T>>

pub fn into_ref_mut<T: 'static>(self) -> Result<RefMut<'e, T>>

pub unsafe fn get_mut<T: Transfer>(&mut self) -> Result<&mut T>

Returns a mutable reference to the underlying Rust data wrapped by this value.

Safety

There are several ways this can go wrong:

• Lisp code can pass the same object through 2 different values in an argument list.
• Rust code earlier in the call chain may have copied this value.
• Rust code later in the call chain may receive a copy of this value.

In general, it is better to wrap Rust data in RefCell, Mutex, or RwLock guards, before moving them to Lisp, and then only access them through these guards (which can be obtained back through into_rust). This method is for squeezing out the last bit of performance in very rare situations.

impl<'e> Value<'e>

pub fn copy_string_contents(self, buffer: &mut [u8]) -> Result<&[u8]>

Copies the content of this Lisp string value to the given buffer as a null-terminated UTF-8 string. Returns the copied bytes, excluding the null terminator.

Signals an args-out-of-range error if the buffer is too small.

impl<'e> Value<'e>

pub fn call<A>(self, args: A) -> Result<Value<'e>> where
    A: IntoLispArgs<'e>, 

Calls this value with the given arguments. An error is signaled if it is actually not a Lisp's callable.

args should be an array/slice of Value, or a tuple of different types, each implementing IntoLisp.

Examples

#[defun]
fn mapc_enumerate_vec(function: Value, vector: Vector) -> Result<()> {
    for nth in 0..vector.size()? {
        let elem: Value = vector.get(nth)?;
        function.call((nth, elem))?;
    }
    Ok(())
}
