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

The Arena allows inserting and removing elements that are referred to by Index.

See the module-level documentation for example usage and motivation.

Implementations§

Constructs a new, empty Arena.

Examples
use generational_arena::Arena;

let mut arena = Arena::<usize>::new();

Constructs a new, empty Arena<T> with the specified capacity.

The Arena<T> will be able to hold n elements without further allocation.

Examples
use generational_arena::Arena;

let mut arena = Arena::with_capacity(10);

// These insertions will not require further allocation.
for i in 0..10 {
    assert!(arena.try_insert(i).is_ok());
}

// But now we are at capacity, and there is no more room.
assert!(arena.try_insert(99).is_err());

Clear all the items inside the arena, but keep its allocation.

Examples
use generational_arena::Arena;

let mut arena = Arena::with_capacity(1);
arena.insert(42);
arena.insert(43);

arena.clear();

assert_eq!(arena.capacity(), 2);

Attempts to insert value into the arena using existing capacity.

This method will never allocate new capacity in the arena.

If insertion succeeds, then the value’s index is returned. If insertion fails, then Err(value) is returned to give ownership of value back to the caller.

Examples
use generational_arena::Arena;

let mut arena = Arena::new();

match arena.try_insert(42) {
    Ok(idx) => {
        // Insertion succeeded.
        assert_eq!(arena[idx], 42);
    }
    Err(x) => {
        // Insertion failed.
        assert_eq!(x, 42);
    }
};

Insert value into the arena, allocating more capacity if necessary.

The value’s associated index in the arena is returned.

Examples
use generational_arena::Arena;

let mut arena = Arena::new();

let idx = arena.insert(42);
assert_eq!(arena[idx], 42);

Remove the element at index i from the arena.

If the element at index i is still in the arena, then it is returned. If it is not in the arena, then None is returned.

Examples
use generational_arena::Arena;

let mut arena = Arena::new();
let idx = arena.insert(42);

assert_eq!(arena.remove(idx), Some(42));
assert_eq!(arena.remove(idx), None);

Is the element at index i in the arena?

Returns true if the element at i is in the arena, false otherwise.

Examples
use generational_arena::Arena;

let mut arena = Arena::new();
let idx = arena.insert(42);

assert!(arena.contains(idx));
arena.remove(idx);
assert!(!arena.contains(idx));

Get a shared reference to the element at index i if it is in the arena.

If the element at index i is not in the arena, then None is returned.

Examples
use generational_arena::Arena;

let mut arena = Arena::new();
let idx = arena.insert(42);

assert_eq!(arena.get(idx), Some(&42));
arena.remove(idx);
assert!(arena.get(idx).is_none());

Get an exclusive reference to the element at index i if it is in the arena.

If the element at index i is not in the arena, then None is returned.

Examples
use generational_arena::Arena;

let mut arena = Arena::new();
let idx = arena.insert(42);

*arena.get_mut(idx).unwrap() += 1;
assert_eq!(arena.remove(idx), Some(43));
assert!(arena.get_mut(idx).is_none());

Get a pair of exclusive references to the elements at index i1 and i2 if it is in the arena.

If the element at index i1 or i2 is not in the arena, then None is returned for this element.

Panics

Panics if i1 and i2 are pointing to the same item of the arena.

Examples
use generational_arena::Arena;

let mut arena = Arena::new();
let idx1 = arena.insert(0);
let idx2 = arena.insert(1);

{
    let (item1, item2) = arena.get2_mut(idx1, idx2);

    *item1.unwrap() = 3;
    *item2.unwrap() = 4;
}

assert_eq!(arena[idx1], 3);
assert_eq!(arena[idx2], 4);

Get the length of this arena.

The length is the number of elements the arena holds.

Examples
use generational_arena::Arena;

let mut arena = Arena::new();
assert_eq!(arena.len(), 0);

let idx = arena.insert(42);
assert_eq!(arena.len(), 1);

let _ = arena.insert(0);
assert_eq!(arena.len(), 2);

assert_eq!(arena.remove(idx), Some(42));
assert_eq!(arena.len(), 1);

Returns true if the arena contains no elements

Examples
use generational_arena::Arena;

let mut arena = Arena::new();
assert!(arena.is_empty());

let idx = arena.insert(42);
assert!(!arena.is_empty());

assert_eq!(arena.remove(idx), Some(42));
assert!(arena.is_empty());

Get the capacity of this arena.

The capacity is the maximum number of elements the arena can hold without further allocation, including however many it currently contains.

Examples
use generational_arena::Arena;

let mut arena = Arena::with_capacity(10);
assert_eq!(arena.capacity(), 10);

// `try_insert` does not allocate new capacity.
for i in 0..10 {
    assert!(arena.try_insert(1).is_ok());
    assert_eq!(arena.capacity(), 10);
}

// But `insert` will if the arena is already at capacity.
arena.insert(0);
assert!(arena.capacity() > 10);

Allocate space for additional_capacity more elements in the arena.

Panics

Panics if this causes the capacity to overflow.

Examples
use generational_arena::Arena;

let mut arena = Arena::with_capacity(10);
arena.reserve(5);
assert_eq!(arena.capacity(), 15);

Iterate over shared references to the elements in this arena.

Yields pairs of (Index, &T) items.

Order of iteration is not defined.

Examples
use generational_arena::Arena;

let mut arena = Arena::new();
for i in 0..10 {
    arena.insert(i * i);
}

for (idx, value) in arena.iter() {
    println!("{} is at index {:?}", value, idx);
}

Iterate over exclusive references to the elements in this arena.

Yields pairs of (Index, &mut T) items.

Order of iteration is not defined.

Examples
use generational_arena::Arena;

let mut arena = Arena::new();
for i in 0..10 {
    arena.insert(i * i);
}

for (_idx, value) in arena.iter_mut() {
    *value += 5;
}

Iterate over elements of the arena and remove them.

Yields pairs of (Index, T) items.

Order of iteration is not defined.

Note: All elements are removed even if the iterator is only partially consumed or not consumed at all.

Examples
use generational_arena::Arena;

let mut arena = Arena::new();
let idx_1 = arena.insert("hello");
let idx_2 = arena.insert("world");

assert!(arena.get(idx_1).is_some());
assert!(arena.get(idx_2).is_some());
for (idx, value) in arena.drain() {
    assert!((idx == idx_1 && value == "hello") || (idx == idx_2 && value == "world"));
}
assert!(arena.get(idx_1).is_none());
assert!(arena.get(idx_2).is_none());
