Struct AnyTerm 

pub struct AnyTerm<'id> { /* private fields */ }

The bare term word, carrying only the brand 'id — the env is not stored.

The fastest term representation: no enif_term_type call has been made and no data has been read off the BEAM heap. Resolve it to a known type with resolve(env) (yielding a TypedTerm), or decode it directly. #[repr(transparent)] over the raw word (the brand is a ZST), so a &[RawTerm] can be viewed in place as &[AnyTerm<'id>] (used by TupleView).

Implementations

impl<'id> AnyTerm<'id>

pub fn resolve(self, env: impl Env<'id>) -> Option<TypedTerm<'id>>

Resolve to a typed TypedTerm (enif_term_type). Exactly one NIF call. None for a type code this otter build does not recognize (a newer-OTP type); the original AnyTerm is still usable.

The fallible counterpart is the Decoder impl for TypedTerm, which maps the None case to CodecError::UnknownTermType.

impl<'id> AnyTerm<'id>

pub fn wrap(raw_term: Term, _env: impl Env<'id>) -> Self

Available on crate feature raw only.

Trait Implementations

impl<'id> Clone for AnyTerm<'id>

fn clone(&self) -> AnyTerm<'id>

Returns a duplicate of the value.

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

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl<'id> Copy for AnyTerm<'id>

impl<'id> Decoder<'id> for AnyTerm<'id>

The identity decode — any term decodes to itself.

fn decode(term: AnyTerm<'id>, _env: impl Env<'id>) -> Result<Self, CodecError>

impl<'id> Encoder<'id> for AnyTerm<'id>

Encodes for free by rewrapping the term’s own machine word — an otter term is already an Erlang term. Never fails.

fn encode(&self, env: impl Env<'id>) -> Result<AnyTerm<'id>, CodecError>

impl<'id> Term<'id> for AnyTerm<'id>

fn raw_term(self) -> Term

The raw machine word backing this term.

fn copy_to<'dst>(self, env: impl Env<'dst>) -> AnyTerm<'dst>

where Self: Sized,

Copy this term into another environment (enif_make_copy), producing a term branded to the destination. The general cross-env copy — distinct from same-brand Encoder (which wraps for free) and from OwnedEnvArena copy_out (the arena exit).
