#[repr(transparent)]pub struct Cell<T> where
T: ?Sized, { /* private fields */ }
Expand description
A mutable memory location.
Examples
In this example, you can see that Cell<T>
enables mutation inside an
immutable struct. In other words, it enables “interior mutability”.
use std::cell::Cell;
struct SomeStruct {
regular_field: u8,
special_field: Cell<u8>,
}
let my_struct = SomeStruct {
regular_field: 0,
special_field: Cell::new(1),
};
let new_value = 100;
// ERROR: `my_struct` is immutable
// my_struct.regular_field = new_value;
// WORKS: although `my_struct` is immutable, `special_field` is a `Cell`,
// which can always be mutated
my_struct.special_field.set(new_value);
assert_eq!(my_struct.special_field.get(), new_value);
See the module-level documentation for more.
Implementations
sourceimpl<T> Cell<T>
impl<T> Cell<T>
1.17.0 · sourcepub fn swap(&self, other: &Cell<T>)
pub fn swap(&self, other: &Cell<T>)
Swaps the values of two Cell
s.
Difference with std::mem::swap
is that this function doesn’t require &mut
reference.
Examples
use std::cell::Cell;
let c1 = Cell::new(5i32);
let c2 = Cell::new(10i32);
c1.swap(&c2);
assert_eq!(10, c1.get());
assert_eq!(5, c2.get());
1.17.0 · sourcepub fn replace(&self, val: T) -> T
pub fn replace(&self, val: T) -> T
Replaces the contained value with val
, and returns the old contained value.
Examples
use std::cell::Cell;
let cell = Cell::new(5);
assert_eq!(cell.get(), 5);
assert_eq!(cell.replace(10), 5);
assert_eq!(cell.get(), 10);
1.17.0 (const: unstable) · sourcepub fn into_inner(self) -> T
pub fn into_inner(self) -> T
Unwraps the value.
Examples
use std::cell::Cell;
let c = Cell::new(5);
let five = c.into_inner();
assert_eq!(five, 5);

let five = c.get();

1.12.0 (const: 1.32.0) · sourcepub const fn as_ptr(&self) -> *mut T
pub const fn as_ptr(&self) -> *mut T
Returns a raw pointer to the underlying data in this cell.
Examples
use std::cell::Cell;
let c = Cell::new(5);
let ptr = c.as_ptr();
1.11.0 · sourcepub fn get_mut(&mut self) -> &mut T
pub fn get_mut(&mut self) -> &mut T
Returns a mutable reference to the underlying data.
This call borrows Cell
mutably (at compile-time) which guarantees
that we possess the only reference.
However be cautious: this method expects self
to be mutable, which is
generally not the case when using a Cell
. If you require interior
mutability by reference, consider using RefCell
which provides
run-time checked mutable borrows through its borrow_mut
method.
Examples
use std::cell::Cell;
let mut c = Cell::new(5);
*c.get_mut() += 1;
assert_eq!(c.get(), 6);
1.37.0 · sourcepub fn from_mut(t: &mut T) -> &Cell<T>
pub fn from_mut(t: &mut T) -> &Cell<T>
Returns a &Cell<T>
from a &mut T
Examples
use std::cell::Cell;
let slice: &mut [i32] = &mut [1, 2, 3];
let cell_slice: &Cell<[i32]> = Cell::from_mut(slice);
let slice_cell: &[Cell<i32>] = cell_slice.as_slice_of_cells();

from a &Cell<[T]>
Examples
