Struct alloc::boxed::Box1.0.0 [] [src]

pub struct Box<T: ?Sized>(_);

A pointer type for heap allocation.

See the module-level documentation for more.

Methods

impl<T> Box<T>
[src]

fn new(x: T) -> Box<T>

Allocates memory on the heap and then places x into it.

Examples

let five = Box::new(5);

impl<T: ?Sized> Box<T>
[src]

unsafe fn from_raw(raw: *mut T) -> Self
1.4.0

Constructs a box from a raw pointer.

After calling this function, the raw pointer is owned by the resulting Box. Specifically, the Box destructor will call the destructor of T and free the allocated memory. Since the way Box allocates and releases memory is unspecified, the only valid pointer to pass to this function is the one taken from another Box via the Box::into_raw function.

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.

fn into_raw(b: Box<T>) -> *mut T
1.4.0

Consumes the Box, returning the wrapped raw pointer.

After calling this function, the caller is responsible for the memory previously managed by the Box. In particular, the caller should properly destroy T and release the memory. The proper way to do so is to convert the raw pointer back into a Box with the Box::from_raw function.

Examples

let seventeen = Box::new(17);
let raw = Box::into_raw(seventeen);
let boxed_again = unsafe { Box::from_raw(raw) };

impl Box<Any>
[src]

fn downcast<T: Any>(self) -> Result<Box<T>, Box<Any>>

Attempt to downcast the box to a concrete type.

impl Box<Any + Send>
[src]

fn downcast<T: Any>(self) -> Result<Box<T>, Box<Any + Send>>

Attempt to downcast the box to a concrete type.

Trait Implementations

impl<T: Clone> Clone for Box<T>
[src]

assert_eq!(*y, 5);
