Type Definition swim_mem::lease::RawBox

type RawBox<'a, T, M = ()> = Raw<'a, Box<T, M>>;

Exclusive reference to a value stored in a Hold-allocated memory block, with optional metadata stored alongside the pointer.

Storing metadata in the pointer structure keeps the allocated memory block exactly the size of the value.

Examples

Move a value from the stack to the global hold by creating a RawBox:

let value = 5;
let boxed = RawBox::new(value);

Move a value from a RawBox back to the stack by dereferencing:

let boxed = RawBox::new(5);
let value = *boxed;
