Trait refptr::Refcounted

pub unsafe trait Refcounted {
    type Rc: Refcount;
    unsafe fn refcount_metadata(&self) -> <Self::Rc as Refcount>::Metadata;
}

An invasively reference counted type.

Objects implementing this trait are always allocated on the heap, and have their lifecycle managed using the RefPtr smart pointer.

Safety

• Refcounted objects are always heap-allocated
• Only shared references may exist to Refcounted objects
