Expand description

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));
Run

Implementations

🔬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);
Run
