Struct Symbol 

pub struct Symbol(/* private fields */);

A lightweight handle to an interned string.

Symbols are Copy and compare in O(1) time regardless of string length. Use Interner::resolve to retrieve the original string.

Implementations

impl Symbol

pub const EMPTY: Symbol

The empty string symbol, always at index 0.

pub fn index(self) -> usize

Returns the internal index of this symbol.

Useful for dense storage (e.g., indexing into a Vec instead of a HashMap).

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for Symbol

fn clone(&self) -> Symbol

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for Symbol

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

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Default for Symbol

fn default() -> Self

Returns the “default value” for a type.

impl Hash for Symbol

fn hash<__H: Hasher>(&self, state: &mut __H)

Feeds this value into the given Hasher.

fn hash_slice<H>(data: &[Self], state: &mut H)

where H: Hasher, Self: Sized,

Feeds a slice of this type into the given Hasher.

impl PartialEq for Symbol

fn eq(&self, other: &Symbol) -> bool

Tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.

impl SymbolEq for Symbol

fn is(&self, interner: &Interner, s: &str) -> bool

Returns true if this symbol resolves to the given string.

impl Copy for Symbol

impl Eq for Symbol

impl StructuralPartialEq for Symbol
