1.0.0

Creates a `Vec` containing the arguments.

`vec!` allows `Vec`s to be defined with the same syntax as array expressions. There are two forms of this macro:

- Create a `Vec` containing a given list of elements:

fn main() { let v = vec![1, 2, 3]; assert_eq!(v[0], 1); assert_eq!(v[1], 2); assert_eq!(v[2], 3); }

    let v = vec![1, 2, 3];
    assert_eq!(v[0], 1);
    assert_eq!(v[1], 2);
    assert_eq!(v[2], 3);

- Create a `Vec` from a given element and size:

fn main() { let v = vec![1; 3]; assert_eq!(v, [1, 1, 1]); }

    let v = vec![1; 3];
    assert_eq!(v, [1, 1, 1]);

Note that unlike array expressions this syntax supports all elements which implement `Clone` and the number of elements doesn't have to be a constant.

This will use `clone()` to duplicate an expression, so one should be careful using this with types having a nonstandard `Clone` implementation. For example, `vec![Rc::new(1); 5]` will create a vector of five references to the same boxed integer value, not five references pointing to independently boxed integers.

## 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`)
