Struct Interner

pub struct Interner<T: ?Sized + 'static>(/* private fields */);

A thread-safe interner which can be used to create Interned<T> from &T

For details on interning, see the module level docs.

The implementation ensures that two equal values return two equal Interned<T> values.

To use an Interner<T>, T must implement Internable.

Implementations

impl<T: ?Sized> Interner<T>

pub const fn new() -> Self

Creates a new empty interner

impl<T: Internable + ?Sized> Interner<T>

pub fn intern(&self, value: &T) -> Interned<T>

Return the Interned<T> corresponding to value.

If it is called the first time for value, it will possibly leak the value and return an Interned<T> using the obtained static reference. Subsequent calls for the same value will return Interned<T> using the same static reference.

Trait Implementations

impl<T: ?Sized> Default for Interner<T>

fn default() -> Self

Returns the “default value” for a type.
