# Struct std::mem::ManuallyDrop 1.20.0[−][src]

    #[lang = "manually_drop"]
    #[repr(transparent)]pub struct ManuallyDrop<T> where
        T: ?Sized,  { /* fields omitted */ }

A wrapper to inhibit compiler from automatically calling `T`’s destructor. This wrapper is 0-cost.

`ManuallyDrop<T>` is subject to the same layout optimizations as `T`. As a consequence, it has no effect on the assumptions that the compiler makes about its contents. For example, initializing a `ManuallyDrop<&mut T>` with `mem::zeroed` is undefined behavior. If you need to handle uninitialized data, use `MaybeUninit<T>` instead.

Note that accessing the value inside a `ManuallyDrop<T>` is safe. This means that a `ManuallyDrop<T>` whose content has been dropped must not be exposed through a public safe API. Correspondingly, `ManuallyDrop::drop` is unsafe.

# `ManuallyDrop` and drop order.

Rust has a well-defined drop order of values. To make sure that fields or locals are dropped in a specific order, reorder the declarations such that the implicit drop order is the correct one.

It is possible to use `ManuallyDrop` to control the drop order, but this requires unsafe code and is hard to do correctly in the presence of unwinding.

For example, if you want to make sure that a specific field is dropped after the others, make it the last field of a struct:

    struct Context;

    struct Widget {
        children: Vec<Widget>,
        // `context` will be dropped after `children`.
        // Rust guarantees that fields are dropped in the order of declaration.
        context: Context,
    }

## Implementations

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

#### `#[must_use = "if you don't need the wrapper, you can use `mem::forget` instead"]pub const fn new(value: T) -> ManuallyDrop<T>`1.20.0 (const: 1.36.0)[src]

Wrap a value to be manually dropped.

# Examples

    use std::mem::ManuallyDrop;
    let mut x = ManuallyDrop::new(String::from("Hello World!"));
    x.truncate(5); // You can still safely operate on the value
    assert_eq!(*x, "Hello");
    // But `Drop` will not be run here

Run

#### `pub const fn into_inner(slot: ManuallyDrop<T>) -> T` 1.20.0 (const: 1.36.0)[src]

Extracts the value from the `ManuallyDrop` container.

This allows the value to be dropped again.

# Examples

    use std::mem::ManuallyDrop;
    let x = ManuallyDrop::new(Box::new(()));
    let _: Box<()> = ManuallyDrop::into_inner(x); // This drops the `Box`.

Run

#### `#[must_use = "if you don't need the value, you can use `ManuallyDrop::drop` instead"]pub unsafe fn take(slot: &mut ManuallyDrop<T>) -> T` 1.42.0[src]

Takes the value from the `ManuallyDrop<T>` container out.

This method is primarily intended for moving out values in drop. Instead of using `ManuallyDrop::drop` to manually drop the value, you can use this method to take the value and use it however desired.

Whenever possible, it is preferable to use `into_inner` instead, which prevents duplicating the content of the `ManuallyDrop<T>`.

# Safety

This function semantically moves out the contained value without preventing further usage, leaving the state of this container unchanged. It is your responsibility to ensure that this `ManuallyDrop` is not used again.

### `impl<T> ManuallyDrop<T> where
T: ?Sized,` [src]

#### `pub unsafe fn drop(slot: &mut ManuallyDrop<T>)`[src]

Manually drops the contained value. This is exactly equivalent to calling `ptr::drop_in_place` with a pointer to the contained value. As such, unless the contained value is a packed struct, the destructor will be called in-place without moving the value, and thus can be used to safely drop pinned data.

If you have ownership of the value, you can use `ManuallyDrop::into_inner` instead.

# Safety

This function runs the destructor of the contained value. Other than changes made by the destructor itself, the memory is left unchanged, and so as far as the compiler is concerned still holds a bit-pattern which is valid for the type `T`.

However, this “zombie” value should not be exposed to safe code, and this function should not be called more than once. To use a value after it’s been dropped, or drop a value multiple times, can cause Undefined Behavior (depending on what `drop` does). This is normally prevented by the type system, but users of `ManuallyDrop` must uphold those guarantees without assistance from the compiler.
