Trait Referential

pub trait Referential<'a>: Sealed {
    type Ref: 'a + Deref;

    // Required methods
    unsafe fn to_ref(self) -> Self::Ref;
    fn from_ref(this: Self::Ref) -> Self;
}

Allows an Address to produce an ordinary reference.

Required Associated Types

type Ref: 'a + Deref

The created reference type. Must be one of &T or &mut T.

Required Methods

unsafe fn to_ref(self) -> Self::Ref

Converts the Address to a reference.

Safety

The caller is responsible for ensuring that the memory location that the Address describes contains an initialized value, and that the produced reference abides by the Rust &/&mut exclusion rules.

fn from_ref(this: Self::Ref) -> Self

Converts a reference back into an Address.

Dyn Compatibility

This trait is not dyn compatible.

In older versions of Rust, dyn compatibility was called "object safety", so this trait is not object safe.

Implementors

impl<'a, M, T> Referential<'a> for Address<Frozen<M>, T>

where M: Mutability, T: 'a + ?Sized,

type Ref = &'a T

impl<'a, T> Referential<'a> for Address<Const, T>

where T: 'a + ?Sized,

type Ref = &'a T

impl<'a, T> Referential<'a> for Address<Mut, T>

where T: 'a + ?Sized,

type Ref = &'a mut T
