pub struct ArcIntern<T: Eq + Hash + Send + Sync + 'static> { /* private fields */ }
This is supported on crate feature arc only.
Expand description

A pointer to a reference-counted interned object.

This type requires feature “arc”. 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

Example with owned String data

use internment::ArcIntern;

let x = ArcIntern::new("hello".to_string());
let y = ArcIntern::<String>::from_ref("world");
assert_eq!(x, ArcIntern::from_ref("hello"));
assert_eq!(&*x, "hello"); // dereference an ArcIntern like a pointer

Implementations

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 DashMap which is protected by internal sharded locks.

Intern a value from a reference with atomic reference counting.

If this value has not previously been interned, then new will allocate a spot for the value on the heap and generate that value using T::from(val).

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

Return the number of counts for this pointer.

Only for benchmarking, this will cause problems

Trait Implementations

Converts this type into a shared reference of the (usually inferred) input type.

Returns a copy of the value. Read more

Performs copy-assignment from source. Read more

Formats the value using the given formatter. Read more

Returns the “default value” for a type. Read more

The resulting type after dereferencing.

Dereferences the value.

Deserialize this value from the given Serde deserializer. Read more

Formats the value using the given formatter. Read more

Executes the destructor for this type. Read more

Converts to this type from the input type.

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.
