Struct sgx_tstd::cell::Cell

pub struct Cell<T>where
    T: ?Sized,{ /* private fields */ }

A mutable memory location.

Memory layout

Cell<T> has the same memory layout and caveats as UnsafeCell<T>. In particular, this means that Cell<T> has the same in-memory representation as its inner type T.

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

impl<T> Cell<T>

pub const fn new(value: T) -> Cell<T>

Creates a new Cell containing the given value.

Examples

use std::cell::Cell;

let c = Cell::new(5);

pub fn set(&self, val: T)

Sets the contained value.

Examples

use std::cell::Cell;

let c = Cell::new(5);

c.set(10);

pub fn swap(&self, other: &Cell<T>)

Swaps the values of two Cells. Difference with std::mem::swap is that this function doesn’t require &mut reference.

Panics

This function will panic if self and other are different Cells that partially overlap. (Using just standard library methods, it is impossible to create such partially overlapping Cells. However, unsafe code is allowed to e.g. create two &Cell<[i32; 2]> that partially overlap.)

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());

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);

pub fn into_inner(self) -> T

Unwraps the value, consuming the cell.

Examples

use std::cell::Cell;

let c = Cell::new(5);
let five = c.into_inner();

assert_eq!(five, 5);

impl<T> Cell<T>where T: Copy,

pub fn get(&self) -> T

Returns a copy of the contained value.

Examples

use std::cell::Cell;

let c = Cell::new(5);

let five = c.get();

pub fn update<F>(&self, f: F) -> Twhere F: FnOnce(T) -> T,

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

Updates the contained value using a function and returns the new value.

Examples

#![feature(cell_update)]

use std::cell::Cell;

let c = Cell::new(5);
let new = c.update(|x| x + 1);

assert_eq!(new, 6);
assert_eq!(c.get(), 6);

impl<T> Cell<T>where T: ?Sized,

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();

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);

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();

assert_eq!(slice_cell.len(), 3);

impl<T> Cell<T>where T: Default,

pub fn take(&self) -> T

Takes the value of the cell, leaving Default::default() in its place.

Examples

use std::cell::Cell;

let c = Cell::new(5);
let five = c.take();

assert_eq!(five, 5);
assert_eq!(c.into_inner(), 0);

impl<T> Cell<[T]>

pub fn as_slice_of_cells(&self) -> &[Cell<T>]

Returns a &[Cell<T>] from a &Cell<[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();

assert_eq!(slice_cell.len(), 3);

impl<T, const N: usize> Cell<[T; N]>

pub fn as_array_of_cells(&self) -> &[Cell<T>; N]

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

Returns a &[Cell<T>; N] from a &Cell<[T; N]>

Examples

#![feature(as_array_of_cells)]
use std::cell::Cell;

let mut array: [i32; 3] = [1, 2, 3];
let cell_array: &Cell<[i32; 3]> = Cell::from_mut(&mut array);
let array_cell: &[Cell<i32>; 3] = cell_array.as_array_of_cells();
