Module core::mem [−] [src]

Basic functions for dealing with memory

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

Reexports

pub use intrinsics::transmute;

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.
drop	Disposes of a value.
forget	Leaks a value into the void, consuming ownership and never running its destructor.
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	Replaces 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_copy	Interprets `src` as `&U`, and then reads `src` without moving the contained value.
uninitialized	Creates an uninitialized value.
zeroed	Creates a value initialized to zero.
copy_lifetime	[Unstable] Transforms lifetime of the second pointer to match the first.
copy_mut_lifetime	[Unstable] Transforms lifetime of the second mutable pointer to match the first.
dropped	[Unstable] Creates a value initialized to an unspecified series of bytes.
