Struct internment::ArcIntern

pub struct ArcIntern<T: Eq + Hash + Send + 'static> { /* fields omitted */ }

A pointer to a reference-counted interned object.

The interned object will be held in memory only until its reference count reaches zero.

Example

use internment::ArcIntern;

let x = ArcIntern::new("hello");
let y = ArcIntern::new("world");
assert_ne!(x, y);
assert_eq!(x, ArcIntern::new("hello"));
assert_eq!(*x, "hello"); // dereference an ArcIntern like a pointer

Methods

impl<T: Eq + Hash + Send + 'static> ArcIntern<T>

pub fn new(val: T) -> ArcIntern<T>

Intern a value. If this value has not previously been interned, then new will allocate a spot for the value on the heap. Otherwise, it will return a pointer to the object previously allocated.

Note that ArcIntern::new is a bit slow, since it needs to check a HashMap protected by a Mutex.

pub fn num_objects_interned(&self) -> usize

See how many objects have been interned. This may be helpful in analyzing memory use.

pub fn refcount(&self) -> usize

Return the number of counts for this pointer.

fn drop(&mut self)

Executes the destructor for this type.

impl<T: Eq + Hash + Send> Eq for ArcIntern<T>

impl<T: Eq + Hash + Send + Ord> Ord for ArcIntern<T>

fn cmp(&self, other: &Self) -> Ordering

This method returns an Ordering between self and other.

fn max(self, other: Self) -> Self

Compares and returns the maximum of two values.

fn min(self, other: Self) -> Self

Compares and returns the minimum of two values.

fn clamp(self, min: Self, max: Self) -> Self

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (clamp)

Restrict a value to a certain interval.

impl<T: Eq + Hash + Send> PartialEq<ArcIntern<T>> for ArcIntern<T>

fn eq(&self, other: &ArcIntern<T>) -> bool

This method tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

#[must_use] fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

impl<T: Eq + Hash + Send> Deref for ArcIntern<T>

type Target = T

The resulting type after dereferencing.

Dereferences the value.

impl<T: Eq + Hash + Send + Debug> Debug for ArcIntern<T>

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter) -> Result<(), Error>

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl<T: Eq + Hash + Send + Display> Display for ArcIntern<T>

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter) -> Result<(), Error>

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl<T: Eq + Hash + Send> Hash for ArcIntern<T>

The hash implementation returns the hash of the pointer value, not the hash of the value pointed to. This should be irrelevant, since there is a unique pointer for every value, but it is observable, since you could compare the hash of the pointer with hash of the data itself.
