Struct Ref 

pub struct Ref<T: ?Sized>(/* private fields */);

A reference-counted, immutable heap allocation.

Non-atomic by decision: a runtime instance and every value it owns belong to a single thread. Cycles are unreachable through the public API today but would leak; the cycle-collection strategy is explicitly deferred (design §10).

Debug builds maintain a thread-local count of live allocations, exposed through debug_live_values, which backs the leak-check exit criterion of plan 01.

Implementations

impl<T> Ref<T>

pub fn new(value: T) -> Self

impl<T: ?Sized> Ref<T>

pub fn addr(&self) -> usize

The allocation’s address — the identity used by the opaque derivation strategy (design §3.7).

pub fn ptr_eq(a: &Self, b: &Self) -> bool

Trait Implementations

impl<T: ?Sized> Clone for Ref<T>

fn clone(&self) -> Self

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl<T: ?Sized + Debug> Debug for Ref<T>

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

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl<T: ?Sized> Deref for Ref<T>

type Target = T

The resulting type after dereferencing.

fn deref(&self) -> &T

Dereferences the value.

impl<T: ?Sized> Drop for Ref<T>

fn drop(&mut self)

Executes the destructor for this type.

fn pin_drop(self: Pin<&mut Self>)

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (pin_ergonomics)

Execute the destructor for this type, but different to Drop::drop, it requires self to be pinned.

impl From<&[u8]> for Ref<[u8]>

fn from(b: &[u8]) -> Self

Converts to this type from the input type.

impl From<&str> for Ref<str>

fn from(s: &str) -> Self

Converts to this type from the input type.

impl From<String> for Ref<str>

fn from(s: String) -> Self

Converts to this type from the input type.

impl From<Vec<u8>> for Ref<[u8]>

fn from(b: Vec<u8>) -> Self

Converts to this type from the input type.
