# Struct std::cell::Cell 1.0.0 [−] [src]

    pub struct Cell<T> {
        // some fields omitted
    }

A mutable memory location that admits only `Copy` data.

See the module-level documentation for more.

## Methods

### `impl<T> Cell<T> where T: Copy`

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

Creates a new `Cell` containing the given value.

# Examples

fn main() { use std::cell::Cell; let c = Cell::new(5); }

    use std::cell::Cell;

    let c = Cell::new(5);

#### `fn get(&self) -> T`

Returns a copy of the contained value.

# Examples

fn main() { use std::cell::Cell; let c = Cell::new(5); let five = c.get(); }

    use std::cell::Cell;

    let c = Cell::new(5);

    let five = c.get();

#### `fn set(&self, value: T)`

Sets the contained value.

# Examples

fn main() { use std::cell::Cell; let c = Cell::new(5); c.set(10); }

    use std::cell::Cell;

    let c = Cell::new(5);

    c.set(10);

#### `fn as_unsafe_cell(&self) -> &UnsafeCell<T>`

Unstable (`as_unsafe_cell` #27708)

Returns a reference to the underlying `UnsafeCell`.

# Examples

#![feature(as_unsafe_cell)] fn main() { use std::cell::Cell; let c = Cell::new(5); let uc = c.as_unsafe_cell(); }

    #![feature(as_unsafe_cell)]

    use std::cell::Cell;

    let c = Cell::new(5);

    let uc = c.as_unsafe_cell();

#### `fn get_mut(&mut self) -> &mut T`
1.11.0

Returns a mutable reference to the underlying data.

This call borrows `Cell` mutably (at compile-time) which guarantees that we possess the only reference.

# Examples

fn main() { use std::cell::Cell; let mut c = Cell::new(5); *c.get_mut() += 1; assert_eq!(c.get(), 6); }

    use std::cell::Cell;

    let mut c = Cell::new(5);
    *c.get_mut() += 1;

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

## Search Tricks

Prefix searches with a type followed by a colon (e.g. `fn:`) to restrict the search to a given type.

Accepted types are: `fn`, `mod`, `struct`, `enum`, `trait`, `type`, `macro`, and `const`.

Search functions by type signature (e.g. `vec -> usize` or `* -> vec`)
