1.0.0[][src]Struct std::rc::Rc

#[lang = "rc"]
pub struct Rc<T> where
    T: ?Sized
{ /* fields omitted */ }

A single-threaded reference-counting pointer. 'Rc' stands for 'Reference Counted'.

See the module-level documentation for more details.

The inherent methods of Rc are all associated functions, which means that you have to call them as e.g., Rc::get_mut(&mut value) instead of value.get_mut(). This avoids conflicts with methods of the inner type T.

Methods

impl<T> Rc<T>[src]

pub fn new(value: T) -> Rc<T>[src]

Constructs a new Rc<T>.

Examples

use std::rc::Rc;

let five = Rc::new(5);Run

Important traits for Pin<P>
pub fn pin(value: T) -> Pin<Rc<T>>1.33.0[src]

Constructs a new Pin<Rc<T>>. If T does not implement Unpin, then value will be pinned in memory and unable to be moved.

pub fn try_unwrap(this: Rc<T>) -> Result<T, Rc<T>>1.4.0[src]

Returns the contained value, if the Rc has exactly one strong reference.

Otherwise, an Err is returned with the same Rc that was passed in.

This will succeed even if there are outstanding weak references.

Examples

use std::rc::Rc;

let x = Rc::new(3);
assert_eq!(Rc::try_unwrap(x), Ok(3));

let x = Rc::new(4);
let _y = Rc::clone(&x);
assert_eq!(*Rc::try_unwrap(x).unwrap_err(), 4);Run

impl<T> Rc<T> where
    T: ?Sized
[src]

pub fn into_raw(this: Rc<T>) -> *const T1.17.0[src]

Consumes the Rc, returning the wrapped pointer.

To avoid a memory leak the pointer must be converted back to an Rc using Rc::from_raw.

Examples

use std::rc::Rc;

let x = Rc::new(10);
let x_ptr = Rc::into_raw(x);
assert_eq!(unsafe { *x_ptr }, 10);Run

pub unsafe fn from_raw(ptr: *const T) -> Rc<T>1.17.0[src]

Constructs an Rc from a raw pointer.

The raw pointer must have been previously returned by a call to a Rc::into_raw.

This function is unsafe because improper use may lead to memory problems. For example, a double-free may occur if the function is called twice on the same raw pointer.

Examples

use std::rc::Rc;

let x = Rc::new(10);
let x_ptr = Rc::into_raw(x);

unsafe {
    // Convert back to an `Rc` to prevent leak.
    let x = Rc::from_raw(x_ptr);
    assert_eq!(*x, 10);

    // Further calls to `Rc::from_raw(x_ptr)` would be memory unsafe.
}

// The memory was freed when `x` went out of scope above, so `x_ptr` is now dangling!Run

pub fn into_raw_non_null(this: Rc<T>) -> NonNull<T>[src]

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (rc_into_raw_non_null #47336)

Consumes the Rc, returning the wrapped pointer as NonNull<T>.

Examples

#![feature(rc_into_raw_non_null)]

use std::rc::Rc;

let x = Rc::new(10);
let ptr = Rc::into_raw_non_null(x);
let deref = unsafe { *ptr.as_ref() };
assert_eq!(deref, 10);Run

pub fn downgrade(this: &Rc<T>) -> Weak<T>1.4.0[src]

Creates a new Weak pointer to this value.

Examples

use std::rc::Rc;

let five = Rc::new(5);

let weak_five = Rc::downgrade(&five);Run

pub fn weak_count(this: &Rc<T>) -> usize1.15.0[src]

Gets the number of Weak pointers to this value.

Examples

use std::rc::Rc;

let five = Rc::new(5);
let _weak_five = Rc::downgrade(&five);

assert_eq!(1, Rc::weak_count(&five));Run

pub fn strong_count(this: &Rc<T>) -> usize1.15.0[src]

Gets the number of strong (Rc) pointers to this value.

Examples

use std::rc::Rc;

let five = Rc::new(5);
let _also_five = Rc::clone(&five);

assert_eq!(2, Rc::strong_count(&five));Run

pub fn get_mut(this: &mut Rc<T>) -> Option<&mut T>1.4.0[src]

Returns a mutable reference to the inner value, if there are no other Rc or Weak pointers to the same value.

Returns None otherwise, because it is not safe to mutate a shared value.

See also make_mut, which will clone the inner value when it's shared.

Examples

use std::rc::Rc;

let mut x = Rc::new(3);
*Rc::get_mut(&mut x).unwrap() = 4;
assert_eq!(*x, 4);

let _y = Rc::clone(&x);
assert!(Rc::get_mut(&mut x).is_none());Run

pub fn ptr_eq(this: &Rc<T>, other: &Rc<T>) -> bool1.17.0[src]

Returns true if the two Rcs point to the same value (not just values that compare as equal).

Examples

use std::rc::Rc;

let five = Rc::new(5);
let same_five = Rc::clone(&five);
let other_five = Rc::new(5);

assert!(Rc::ptr_eq(&five, &same_five));
assert!(!Rc::ptr_eq(&five, &other_five));Run

impl<T> Rc<T> where
    T: Clone
[src]

Important traits for &'_ mut F
pub fn make_mut(this: &mut Rc<T>) -> &mut T1.4.0[src]

Makes a mutable reference into the given Rc.

If there are other Rc or Weak pointers to the same value, then make_mut will invoke clone on the inner value to ensure unique ownership. This is also referred to as clone-on-write.

See also get_mut, which will fail rather than cloning.

Examples

use std::rc::Rc;

let mut data = Rc::new(5);

*Rc::make_mut(&mut data) += 1;        // Won't clone anything
let mut other_data = Rc::clone(&data);    // Won't clone inner data
*Rc::make_mut(&mut data) += 1;        // Clones inner data
*Rc::make_mut(&mut data) += 1;        // Won't clone anything
*Rc::make_mut(&mut other_data) *= 2;  // Won't clone anything

// Now `data` and `other_data` point to different values.
assert_eq!(*data, 8);
assert_eq!(*other_data, 12);Run

impl Rc<dyn Any + 'static>[src]

pub fn downcast<T>(self) -> Result<Rc<T>, Rc<dyn Any + 'static>> where
    T: Any
1.29.0[src]

Attempt to downcast the Rc<dyn Any> to a concrete type.

Examples

use std::any::Any;
use std::rc::Rc;

fn print_if_string(value: Rc<dyn Any>) {
    if let Ok(string) = value.downcast::<String>() {
        println!("String ({}): {}", string.len(), string);
    }
}

fn main() {
    let my_string = "Hello World".to_string();
    print_if_string(Rc::new(my_string));
    print_if_string(Rc::new(0i8));
}Run

impl<T> Drop for Rc<T> where
    T: ?Sized
[src]

This will decrement the strong reference count. If the strong reference count reaches zero then the only other references (if any) are Weak, so we drop the inner value.

struct Foo;

impl Drop for Foo {
    fn drop(&mut self) {
        println!("dropped!");
    }
}
