Struct TinyBox

pub struct TinyBox<T>(/* private fields */);

A tiny pointer to a heap allocated memory. As with all types of this crate, memory is allocated on the heap. It is equivalent to std::boxed::Box.

use tinypointers::TinyBox;
let x = TinyBox::new(42);
println!("{}", *x); // prints 42

Implementations

impl<T> TinyBox<T>

pub fn new(value: T) -> Self

Allocates memory on the heap and then places value into it.

It always allocates memory, even if value is zero-sized.

Example

use tinypointers::TinyBox;
let x = TinyBox::new(42);
