🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (thin_box #92791)

ThinBox.

A thin pointer for heap allocation, regardless of T.

Examples

#![feature(thin_box)]
use std::boxed::ThinBox;

let five = ThinBox::new(5);
let thin_slice = ThinBox::<[i32]>::new_unsize([1, 2, 3, 4]);

use std::mem::{size_of, size_of_val};
let size_of_ptr = size_of::<*const ()>();
assert_eq!(size_of_ptr, size_of_val(&five));
assert_eq!(size_of_ptr, size_of_val(&thin_slice));

Implementations

impl<T> ThinBox<T>

pub fn new(value: T) -> ThinBox<T>

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (thin_box #92791)

Moves a type to the heap with its Metadata stored in the heap allocation instead of on the stack.

Examples

#![feature(thin_box)]
use std::boxed::ThinBox;

let five = ThinBox::new(5);

pub fn try_new(value: T) -> Result<ThinBox<T>, AllocError>

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (thin_box #92791)

Moves a type to the heap with its Metadata stored in the heap allocation instead of on the stack. Returns an error if allocation fails, instead of aborting.

Examples

#![feature(allocator_api)]
#![feature(thin_box)]
use std::boxed::ThinBox;

let five = ThinBox::try_new(5)?;

impl<Dyn> ThinBox<Dyn>

where Dyn: ?Sized,

pub fn new_unsize<T>(value: T) -> ThinBox<Dyn>

where T: Unsize<Dyn>,

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (thin_box #92791)

Moves a type to the heap with its Metadata stored in the heap allocation instead of on the stack.

Examples

#![feature(thin_box)]
use std::boxed::ThinBox;

let thin_slice = ThinBox::<[i32]>::new_unsize([1, 2, 3, 4]);

Trait Implementations

impl<T> Debug for ThinBox<T>

where T: Debug + ?Sized,

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result<(), Error>

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl<T> Deref for ThinBox<T>

where T: ?Sized,

type Target = T

The resulting type after dereferencing.

fn deref(&self) -> &T

Dereferences the value.

impl<T> DerefMut for ThinBox<T>

where T: ?Sized,

fn deref_mut(&mut self) -> &mut T

Mutably dereferences the value.

impl<T> Display for ThinBox<T>

where T: Display + ?Sized,

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result<(), Error>

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl<T> Drop for ThinBox<T>

where T: ?Sized,

fn drop(&mut self)

Executes the destructor for this type.

impl<T> Error for ThinBox<T>

where T: Error + ?Sized,

fn source(&self) -> Option<&(dyn Error + 'static)>

The lower-level source of this error, if any.

fn description(&self) -> &str

👎Deprecated since 1.42.0: use the Display impl or to_string()

fn cause(&self) -> Option<&dyn Error>

👎Deprecated since 1.33.0: replaced by Error::source, which can support downcasting

fn provide<'a>(&'a self, request: &mut Request<'a>)

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (error_generic_member_access #99301)

Provides type based access to context intended for error reports.

where T: Send + ?Sized,

ThinBox<T> is Send if T is Send because the data is owned.

impl<T> Sync for ThinBox<T>

where T: Sync + ?Sized,

ThinBox<T> is Sync if T is Sync because the data is owned.
