# Trait core::fmt::Pointer 1.0.0 [−] [src]

    pub trait Pointer {
        fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter) -> Result;
    }

Format trait for the `p` character.

The `Pointer` trait should format its output as a memory location. This is commonly presented as hexadecimal.

For more information on formatters, see the module-level documentation.

# Examples

Basic usage with `&i32`:

    let x = &42;

    let address = format!("{:p}", x); // this produces something like '0x7f06092ac6d0'Run

Implementing `Pointer` on a type:

    use std::fmt;

    struct Length(i32);

    impl fmt::Pointer for Length {
        fn fmt(&self, f: &mut fmt::Formatter) -> fmt::Result {
            // use `as` to convert to a `*const T`, which implements Pointer, which we can use

            write!(f, "{:p}", self as *const Length)
        }
    }

    let l = Length(42);

    println!("l is in memory here: {:p}", l);Run

## Required Methods

### `fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter) -> Result`

## 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`)
