#[repr(transparent)]
pub struct ExternRef { /* private fields */ }
Expand description

Represents an opaque reference to any data within WebAssembly.

Implementations

Creates a new instance of ExternRef wrapping the given value.

Get the underlying data for this ExternRef.

Get the strong reference count for this ExternRef.

Note that this loads the reference count with a SeqCst ordering to synchronize with other threads.

Does this ExternRef point to the same inner value as other?

This is only pointer equality, and does not run any inner value’s Eq implementation.

Creates a new strongly-owned ExternRef from the raw value provided.

This is intended to be used in conjunction with Func::new_unchecked, Func::call_unchecked, and ValRaw with its externref field.

This function assumes that raw is an externref value which is currently rooted within the Store.

Unsafety

This function is particularly unsafe because raw not only must be a valid externref value produced prior by to_raw but it must also be correctly rooted within the store. When arguments are provided to a callback with Func::new_unchecked, for example, or returned via Func::call_unchecked, if a GC is performed within the store then floating externref values are not rooted and will be GC’d, meaning that this function will no longer be safe to call with the values cleaned up. This function must be invoked before possible GC operations can happen (such as calling wasm).

When in doubt try to not use this. Instead use the safe Rust APIs of TypedFunc and friends.

Converts this ExternRef to a raw value suitable to store within a ValRaw.

Unsafety

Produces a raw value which is only safe to pass into a store if a GC doesn’t happen between when the value is produce and when it’s passed into the store.
