Struct DiscardOnDrop

pub struct DiscardOnDrop<A: Discard>(/* private fields */);

If you have a value which implements Discard, you can use DiscardOnDrop::new(value) which will wrap the value. When the wrapper is dropped it will automatically call value.discard().

You can use the leak method to unwrap it (which returns value). This causes it to no longer call discard when it is dropped, which means it will usually leak memory unless you manually call discard.

Implementations

impl<A: Discard> DiscardOnDrop<A>

pub fn new(discarder: A) -> Self

Creates a new DiscardOnDrop.

When the DiscardOnDrop is dropped it will automatically call discarder.discard().

pub fn leak(self) -> A

Returns the wrapped discarder.

It will no longer automatically call discarder.discard(), so this will usually leak memory unless you manually call discarder.discard().
