Trait Initialize 

pub trait Initialize: Sized {
    // Required method
    fn initialize() -> Self;

    // Provided method
    unsafe fn initialize_raw(data: *mut ()) { ... }
}

Writes a default value through a raw pointer.

Type-erased containers cannot call Default::default, so they call Initialize::initialize_raw through a function pointer. Implemented for every Default type.

Required Methods

fn initialize() -> Self

Returns the initial value of this type.

Provided Methods

unsafe fn initialize_raw(data: *mut ())

Writes the initial value into already allocated memory.

Safety

data must be non-null, writable and aligned for Self, and must not hold an initialized value already (the old value is overwritten without being dropped).

Dyn Compatibility

This trait is not dyn compatible.

In older versions of Rust, dyn compatibility was called "object safety".
