# 1.0.0[−][src]Trait core::convert::AsMut

    pub trait AsMut<T: ?Sized> {
        fn as_mut(&mut self) -> &mut T;
    }

Used to do a cheap mutable-to-mutable reference conversion.

This trait is similar to `AsRef` but used for converting between mutable references. If you need to do a costly conversion it is better to implement `From` with type `&mut T` or write a custom function.

Note: This trait must not fail. If the conversion can fail, use a dedicated method which returns an `Option<T>` or a `Result<T, E>`.

# Generic Implementations

- `AsMut` auto-dereferences if the inner type is a mutable reference (e.g.: `foo.as_mut()` will work the same if `foo` has type `&mut Foo` or `&mut &mut Foo`)

# Examples

Using `AsMut` as trait bound for a generic function we can accept all mutable references that can be converted to type `&mut T`. Because `Box<T>` implements `AsMut<T>` we can write a function `add_one` that takes all arguments that can be converted to `&mut u64`. Because `Box<T>` implements `AsMut<T>`, `add_one` accepts arguments of type `&mut Box<u64>` as well:

    fn add_one<T: AsMut<u64>>(num: &mut T) {
        *num.as_mut() += 1;
    }

    let mut boxed_num = Box::new(0);
    add_one(&mut boxed_num);
    assert_eq!(*boxed_num, 1);Run

## Required methods

### `fn as_mut(&mut self) -> &mut T`

Performs the conversion.

## 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`)

Search multiple things at once by splitting your query with comma (e.g., `str,u8` or `String,struct:Vec,test`)
