Struct ValuePointerType 

#[repr(C)]
pub struct ValuePointerType {
    pub mutable: bool,
    pub wide: bool,
    pub target: fn() -> &'static Shape,
}

Describes the raw/reference pointer

Fields

mutable: bool

Is the pointer mutable or not.

wide: bool

Describes whether the pointer is wider or not

Note: if the pointer is wide, then the target shape will have ShapeLayout::Unsized, and the vtables of the target shape will expect the pointer to this pointer, rather than the resulting address of unsized data. This is because wide pointer’s metadata information is an undefined implementation detail, at this current moment.

See: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/81513

target: fn() -> &'static Shape

Shape of the pointer’s pointee

This needs to be indirect (behind a function), in order to allow recursive types without overflowing the const-eval system.

Implementations

impl ValuePointerType

pub fn target(&self) -> &'static Shape

Returns the shape of the pointer’s pointee.
