pub struct AnyUserData<'lua>(_);
Expand description

Handle to an internal Lua userdata for any type that implements UserData.

Similar to std::any::Any, this provides an interface for dynamic type checking via the is and borrow methods.

Internally, instances are stored in a RefCell, to best match the mutable semantics of the Lua language.

Note

This API should only be used when necessary. Implementing UserData already allows defining methods which check the type and acquire a borrow behind the scenes.

Implementations

Checks whether the type of this userdata is T.

Borrow this userdata immutably if it is of type T.

Errors

Returns a UserDataBorrowError if the userdata is already mutably borrowed. Returns a UserDataTypeMismatch if the userdata is not of type T.

Borrow this userdata mutably if it is of type T.

Errors

Returns a UserDataBorrowMutError if the userdata is already borrowed. Returns a UserDataTypeMismatch if the userdata is not of type T.

Sets an associated value to this AnyUserData.

The value may be any Lua value whatsoever, and can be retrieved with AnyUserData::get_user_value.

Equivalent to set_i_user_value(v, 1)

Sets an associated value to this AnyUserData.

The value may be any Lua value whatsoever, and can be retrieved with get_i_user_value.

Returns an associated value set by set_user_value.

Returns an associated value set by set_i_user_value.
