pub struct ArcBorrow<'a, T: 'a>(pub(crate) &'a T);
Expand description
A “borrowed Arc
”. This is a pointer to
a T that is known to have been allocated within an
Arc
.
This is equivalent in guarantees to &Arc<T>
, however it is
a bit more flexible. To obtain an &Arc<T>
you must have
an Arc<T>
instance somewhere pinned down until we’re done with it.
It’s also a direct pointer to T
, so using this involves less pointer-chasing
However, C++ code may hand us refcounted things as pointers to T directly,
so we have to conjure up a temporary Arc
on the stack each time.
ArcBorrow
lets us deal with borrows of known-refcounted objects
without needing to worry about where the Arc<T>
is.

Implementations§
source§impl<'a, T> ArcBorrow<'a, T>
impl<'a, T> ArcBorrow<'a, T>
sourcepub unsafe fn from_ref(r: &'a T) -> Self
pub unsafe fn from_ref(r: &'a T) -> Self
For constructing from a reference known to be Arc-backed, e.g. if we obtain such a reference over FFI
sourcepub fn ptr_eq(this: &Self, other: &Self) -> bool
pub fn ptr_eq(this: &Self, other: &Self) -> bool
Compare two ArcBorrow
s via pointer equality. Will only return
true if they come from the same allocation
