impl<T> RefCell<T>
const: unstable · sourcepub fn into_inner(self) -> T
pub fn into_inner(self) -> T
Consumes the RefCell
, returning the wrapped value.
Examples
use std::cell::RefCell;
let c = RefCell::new(5);
let five = c.into_inner();
1.24.0 · sourcepub fn replace(&self, t: T) -> T
pub fn replace(&self, t: T) -> T
Replaces the wrapped value with a new one, returning the old value, without deinitializing either one.
This function corresponds to std::mem::replace
.
Panics
Panics if the value is currently borrowed.
Examples
use std::cell::RefCell;
let cell = RefCell::new(5);
let old_value = cell.replace(6);
assert_eq!(old_value, 5);
assert_eq!(cell, RefCell::new(6));

F: FnOnce(&mut T) -> T,
pub fn replace_with<F>(&self, f: F) -> Twhere F: FnOnce(&mut T) -> T,
Replaces the wrapped value with a new one computed from f
, returning
the old value, without deinitializing either one.
Panics
Panics if the value is currently borrowed.
Examples
use std::cell::RefCell;
let cell = RefCell::new(5);
let old_value = cell.replace_with(|&mut old| old + 1);
assert_eq!(old_value, 5);
assert_eq!(cell, RefCell::new(6));
1.24.0 · sourcepub fn swap(&self, other: &RefCell<T>)
pub fn swap(&self, other: &RefCell<T>)
Swaps the wrapped value of self
with the wrapped value of other
,
without deinitializing either one.
This function corresponds to std::mem::swap
.
Panics
Panics if the value in either RefCell
is currently borrowed, or
if self
and other
point to the same RefCell
.
Examples
use std::cell::RefCell;
let c = RefCell::new(5);
let d = RefCell::new(6);
c.swap(&d);
assert_eq!(c, RefCell::new(6));
assert_eq!(d, RefCell::new(5));

T: ?Sized,
impl<T> RefCell<T>where T: ?Sized,
sourcepub fn borrow(&self) -> Ref<'_, T>
pub fn borrow(&self) -> Ref<'_, T>
Immutably borrows the wrapped value.
The borrow lasts until the returned Ref
exits scope. Multiple
immutable borrows can be taken out at the same time.
Panics
Panics if the value is currently mutably borrowed. For a non-panicking variant, use
try_borrow
.
Examples
use std::cell::RefCell;
let c = RefCell::new(5);
let borrowed_five = c.borrow();
let borrowed_five2 = c.borrow();
An example of panic:
use std::cell::RefCell;
let c = RefCell::new(5);
let m = c.borrow_mut();
let b = c.borrow(); // this causes a panic
1.13.0 · sourcepub fn try_borrow(&self) -> Result<Ref<'_, T>, BorrowError>
pub fn try_borrow(&self) -> Result<Ref<'_, T>, BorrowError>
Immutably borrows the wrapped value, returning an error if the value is currently mutably borrowed.
The borrow lasts until the returned Ref
exits scope. Multiple immutable borrows can be
taken out at the same time.
This is the non-panicking variant of borrow
.
Examples
use std::cell::RefCell;
let c = RefCell::new(5);
{
let m = c.borrow_mut();
assert!(c.try_borrow().is_err());
}
{
let m = c.borrow();
assert!(c.try_borrow().is_ok());
}
sourcepub fn borrow_mut(&self) -> RefMut<'_, T>
pub fn borrow_mut(&self) -> RefMut<'_, T>
Mutably borrows the wrapped value.
The borrow lasts until the returned RefMut
or all RefMut
s derived
from it exit scope. The value cannot be borrowed while this borrow is
active.
Panics
Panics if the value is currently borrowed. For a non-panicking variant, use
try_borrow_mut
.
Examples
use std::cell::RefCell;
let c = RefCell::new("hello".to_owned());
*c.borrow_mut() = "bonjour".to_owned();
assert_eq!(&*c.borrow(), "bonjour");
An example of panic:
use std::cell::RefCell;
let c = RefCell::new(5);
let m = c.borrow();
let b = c.borrow_mut(); // this causes a panic
1.13.0 · sourcepub fn try_borrow_mut(&self) -> Result<RefMut<'_, T>, BorrowMutError>
pub fn try_borrow_mut(&self) -> Result<RefMut<'_, T>, BorrowMutError>
Mutably borrows the wrapped value, returning an error if the value is currently borrowed.
The borrow lasts until the returned RefMut
or all RefMut
s derived
from it exit scope. The value cannot be borrowed while this borrow is
active.
This is the non-panicking variant of borrow_mut
.
Examples
use std::cell::RefCell;
let c = RefCell::new(5);
{
let m = c.borrow();
assert!(c.try_borrow_mut().is_err());
}
assert!(c.try_borrow_mut().is_ok());
1.12.0 · sourcepub fn as_ptr(&self) -> *mut T
pub fn as_ptr(&self) -> *mut T
Returns a raw pointer to the underlying data in this cell.
Examples
use std::cell::RefCell;
let c = RefCell::new(5);
let ptr = c.as_ptr();
1.11.0 · sourcepub fn get_mut(&mut self) -> &mut T
pub fn get_mut(&mut self) -> &mut T
Returns a mutable reference to the underlying data.
Since this method borrows RefCell
mutably, it is statically guaranteed
that no borrows to the underlying data exist. The dynamic checks inherent
in borrow_mut
and most other methods of RefCell
are therefore
unnecessary.
This method can only be called if RefCell
can be mutably borrowed,
which in general is only the case directly after the RefCell
has
been created. In these situations, skipping the aforementioned dynamic
borrowing checks may yield better ergonomics and runtime-performance.
In most situations where RefCell
is used, it can’t be borrowed mutably.
Use borrow_mut
to get mutable access to the underlying data then.
Examples
use std::cell::RefCell;
let mut c = RefCell::new(5);
*c.get_mut() += 1;
assert_eq!(c, RefCell::new(6));
sourcepub fn undo_leak(&mut self) -> &mut T
🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (cell_leak
)
pub fn undo_leak(&mut self) -> &mut T
cell_leak
)Undo the effect of leaked guards on the borrow state of the RefCell
.
This call is similar to get_mut
but more specialized. It borrows RefCell
mutably to
ensure no borrows exist and then resets the state tracking shared borrows. This is relevant
if some Ref
or RefMut
borrows have been leaked.
Examples
#![feature(cell_leak)]
use std::cell::RefCell;
let mut c = RefCell::new(0);
std::mem::forget(c.borrow_mut());
assert!(c.try_borrow().is_err());
c.undo_leak();
assert!(c.try_borrow().is_ok());
1.37.0 · sourcepub unsafe fn try_borrow_unguarded(&self) -> Result<&T, BorrowError>
pub unsafe fn try_borrow_unguarded(&self) -> Result<&T, BorrowError>
Immutably borrows the wrapped value, returning an error if the value is currently mutably borrowed.
Safety
Unlike RefCell::borrow
, this method is unsafe because it does not
return a Ref
, thus leaving the borrow flag untouched. Mutably
borrowing the RefCell
while the reference returned by this method
is alive is undefined behaviour.
Examples
use std::cell::RefCell;
let c = RefCell::new(5);
{
let m = c.borrow_mut();
assert!(unsafe { c.try_borrow_unguarded() }.is_err());
}
{
let m = c.borrow();
assert!(unsafe { c.try_borrow_unguarded() }.is_ok());
}
