Struct Reference 

pub struct Reference { /* private fields */ }

A first-class reference value: the pointee type plus the place it points to.

The representation lives behind a single Box, so Reference (and therefore TypedValue, which embeds it by value) is only one pointer wide. The internals are reached through pointee, place and into_place.

Implementations

impl Reference

pub fn new(pointee: RefPointee, place: Place) -> Self

Creates a reference to the given place with the given pointee kind.

pub fn pointee(&self) -> RefPointee

Returns the static kind of the referenced value.

pub fn place(&self) -> &Place

Returns the place this reference points to.

pub fn into_place(self) -> Place

Consumes the reference, returning the place it points to.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for Reference

fn clone(&self) -> Reference

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

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for Reference

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

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Eq for Reference

impl PartialEq for Reference

fn eq(&self, other: &Reference) -> bool

Equality operator ==.
