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

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

A mutable memory location.

See the module-level documentation for more.

## Methods

### `impl<T: Copy> Cell<T>`
[src]

#### `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();Run

### `impl<T> Cell<T>`
[src]

#### `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);Run

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

Deprecated since 1.12.0

: renamed to as_ptr

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (`as_unsafe_cell` #27708)

Returns a reference to the underlying `UnsafeCell`.

# Examples

    #![feature(as_unsafe_cell)]

    use std::cell::Cell;

    let c = Cell::new(5);

    let uc = c.as_unsafe_cell();Run

#### `fn as_ptr(&self) -> *mut T`
1.12.0

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();Run

#### `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

    use std::cell::Cell;

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

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

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

Sets the contained value.

# Examples

    use std::cell::Cell;

    let c = Cell::new(5);

    c.set(10);Run

#### `fn swap(&self, other: &Self)`
1.17.0

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

# 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());Run

#### `fn replace(&self, val: T) -> T`
1.17.0

Replaces the contained value.

# Examples

    use std::cell::Cell;

    let c = Cell::new(5);
    let old = c.replace(10);

    assert_eq!(5, old);Run

#### `fn into_inner(self) -> T`
1.17.0

Unwraps the value.

# Examples

    use std::cell::Cell;

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

    assert_eq!(five, 5);Run

### `impl<T: Default> Cell<T>`
[src]

#### `fn take(&self) -> T`
1.17.0

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);Run

## 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`)
