Struct Box

pub struct Box<'m, T>
where
    T: ?Sized + Pointee<Metadata = DynMetadata<T>>,
{ /* private fields */ }

A box that uses the provided memory to store dynamic objects.

Implementations

impl<'m, T> Box<'m, T>

where T: ?Sized + Pointee<Metadata = DynMetadata<T>>,

pub fn new<Value>(mem: &'m mut [u8], value: Value) -> Self

where Value: Unsize<T>,

Places a value into the specified mem buffer. The user should provide enough memory to store the value with its metadata considering alignment requirements.

Panics

• If the provided buffer is insufficient to store the value.

pub fn layout_of_dyn<Value>(value: &Value) -> Layout

where Value: Unsize<T> + ?Sized,

Calculates layout describing a record that could be used to allocate backing structure for Value.

Trait Implementations

impl<'m, T> AsMut<T> for Box<'m, T>

where T: ?Sized + Pointee<Metadata = DynMetadata<T>>,

fn as_mut(&mut self) -> &mut T

Converts this type into a mutable reference of the (usually inferred) input type.

impl<'m, T> AsRef<T> for Box<'m, T>

where T: ?Sized + Pointee<Metadata = DynMetadata<T>>,

fn as_ref(&self) -> &T

Converts this type into a shared reference of the (usually inferred) input type.

impl<'m, T> Deref for Box<'m, T>

where T: ?Sized + Pointee<Metadata = DynMetadata<T>>,

type Target = T

The resulting type after dereferencing.

fn deref(&self) -> &T

Dereferences the value.

impl<'m, T> DerefMut for Box<'m, T>

where T: ?Sized + Pointee<Metadata = DynMetadata<T>>,

fn deref_mut(&mut self) -> &mut T

Mutably dereferences the value.

impl<'m, T> Drop for Box<'m, T>

where T: ?Sized + Pointee<Metadata = DynMetadata<T>>,

fn drop(&mut self)

Executes the destructor for this type.
