Implementations

impl<B> Cow<'_, B>

where B: ToOwned + ?Sized,

pub const fn is_borrowed(&self) -> bool

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

Returns true if the data is borrowed, i.e. if to_mut would require additional work.

Examples

#![feature(cow_is_borrowed)]
use std::borrow::Cow;

let cow = Cow::Borrowed("moo");
assert!(cow.is_borrowed());

let bull: Cow<'_, str> = Cow::Owned("...moo?".to_string());
assert!(!bull.is_borrowed());

pub const fn is_owned(&self) -> bool

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

Returns true if the data is owned, i.e. if to_mut would be a no-op.

Examples

#![feature(cow_is_borrowed)]
use std::borrow::Cow;

let cow: Cow<'_, str> = Cow::Owned("moo".to_string());
assert!(cow.is_owned());

let bull = Cow::Borrowed("...moo?");
assert!(!bull.is_owned());

pub fn to_mut(&mut self) -> &mut <B as ToOwned>::Owned

Acquires a mutable reference to the owned form of the data.

Clones the data if it is not already owned.

Examples

use std::borrow::Cow;

let mut cow = Cow::Borrowed("foo");
cow.to_mut().make_ascii_uppercase();

assert_eq!(
  cow,
  Cow::Owned(String::from("FOO")) as Cow<'_, str>
);

pub fn into_owned(self) -> <B as ToOwned>::Owned

Extracts the owned data.

Clones the data if it is not already owned.

Examples

Calling into_owned on a Cow::Borrowed returns a clone of the borrowed data:

use std::borrow::Cow;

let s = "Hello world!";
let cow = Cow::Borrowed(s);

assert_eq!(
  cow.into_owned(),
  String::from(s)
);

Calling into_owned on a Cow::Owned returns the owned data. The data is moved out of the Cow without being cloned.

use std::borrow::Cow;

let s = "Hello world!";
let cow: Cow<'_, str> = Cow::Owned(String::from(s));

assert_eq!(
  cow.into_owned(),
  String::from(s)
);
