Module std::memStable [-] [+] [src]

Basic functions for dealing with memory

This module contains functions for querying the size and alignment of types, initializing and manipulating memory.

Functions

align_of

Returns the alignment in memory for a type.

align_of_val

Returns the alignment of the type of the value that _val points to.

copy_lifetime

Transforms lifetime of the second pointer to match the first.

copy_mut_lifetime

Transforms lifetime of the second mutable pointer to match the first.

drop

Disposes of a value.

forget

Move a value out of scope without running drop glue.

min_align_of

Returns the ABI-required minimum alignment of a type

min_align_of_val

Returns the ABI-required minimum alignment of the type of the value that _val points to

replace

Replace the value at a mutable location with a new one, returning the old value, without deinitialising or copying either one.

size_of

Returns the size of a type in bytes.

size_of_val

Returns the size of the type that _val points to in bytes.

swap

Swap the values at two mutable locations of the same type, without deinitialising or copying either one.

transmute

Unsafely transforms a value of one type into a value of another type.

transmute_copy

Interprets src as &U, and then reads src without moving the contained value.

uninitialized

Create an uninitialized value.

zeroed

Create a value initialized to zero.
