Struct glib::value::Value

source ·
#[repr(C)]
pub struct Value(_, _);
Expand description

A generic value capable of carrying various types.

Once created the type of the value can’t be changed.

Some types (e.g. String and objects) support None values while others (e.g. numeric types) don’t.

Value does not implement the Send trait, but SendValue can be used instead.

See the module documentation for more details.

Implementations

Creates a new Value that is initialized with type_

Tries to downcast to a TypedValue.

Returns Ok(TypedValue<T>) if the value carries a type corresponding to T and Err(self) otherwise.

Tries to downcast to a &TypedValue.

Returns Some(&TypedValue<T>) if the value carries a type corresponding to T and None otherwise.

Tries to get a value of type T.

Returns Some if the type is correct and the value is not None.

This function doesn’t distinguish between type mismatches and correctly typed None values. Use downcast or is for that.

Returns true if the type of the value corresponds to T or is a sub-type of T.

Returns the type of the value.

Returns whether Values of type src can be transformed to type dst.
