Struct empty_box::EmptyBox

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

An "emptied" Box. Constructed via EmptyBox::take(), an EmptyBox<T> is a Box from which the contents have been moved. This allows for reuse of the Box via EmptyBox::put(), which moves the contents back in, turning the EmptyBox back into a Box<T>.

Methods

fn put(self, t: T) -> Box<T>

Restore a value to an EmptyBox, creating a new Box and reusing the allocation of whatever Box was destroyed to create the EmptyBox.
