Enum mtots_core::XRef

pub enum XRef<'a, T> {
    Borrowed(&'a T),
    Ref(Ref<'a, T>),
    Owned(T),
}

Kind of like Cow, but might also be a Ref (from a RefCell) Also, does not use ToOwned. This is because the main point of an XRef is not to Copy On Write, but to either hold an owned value or a reference to a value

Variants

Borrowed(&'a T)

Ref(Ref<'a, T>)

Owned(T)

Implementations

impl<'a, T> XRef<'a, T>

pub fn to_ref(&self) -> &T

impl<'a, T> XRef<'a, T> where
    T: Clone, 

pub fn to_mut(&mut self) -> &mut T

Acquires a mutable reference to the owned form of the data. Clones the data if it is not already owned.

pub fn into_owned(self) -> T

Extracts the owned data. Clones the data if it is not already owned.
