Enum Ref 

pub enum Ref {
    Symbol(Symbol),
    Content(ContentId),
    Handle(HandleId),
    Coord(Coordinate),
}

A stable reference to data or an object across the substrate.

The kernel defines the reference contract; libraries resolve a Ref to a concrete value. A ref names its target by symbol, by content id, by a process-local handle, or by a ranked coordinate.

Variants

Symbol(Symbol)

A named reference resolved through the registry.

Content(ContentId)

A content-addressed reference to an immutable datum.

Handle(HandleId)

A process-local handle to a live object.

Coord(Coordinate)

A ranked coordinate within a named space.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for Ref

fn clone(&self) -> Ref

Returns a duplicate of the value.

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

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for Ref

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

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Eq for Ref

impl Hash for Ref

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 Ord for Ref

fn cmp(&self, other: &Ref) -> Ordering

This method returns an Ordering between self and other.

fn max(self, other: Self) -> Self

where Self: Sized,

Compares and returns the maximum of two values.

fn min(self, other: Self) -> Self

where Self: Sized,

Compares and returns the minimum of two values.

fn clamp(self, min: Self, max: Self) -> Self

where Self: Sized,

Restrict a value to a certain interval.

impl PartialEq for Ref

fn eq(&self, other: &Ref) -> 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 PartialOrd for Ref

fn partial_cmp(&self, other: &Ref) -> Option<Ordering>

This method returns an ordering between self and other values if one exists.

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

Tests less than (for self and other) and is used by the < operator.

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

Tests less than or equal to (for self and other) and is used by the <= operator.

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

Tests greater than (for self and other) and is used by the > operator.

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

Tests greater than or equal to (for self and other) and is used by the >= operator.
