The `Clone` trait for types that cannot be 'implicitly copied' In Rust, some simple types are "implicitly copyable" and when you assign them or pass them as arguments, the receiver will get a copy, leaving the original value in place. These types do not require allocation to copy and do not have finalizers (i.e. they do not contain owned boxes or implement `Drop`), so the compiler considers them cheap and safe to copy. For other types copies must be made explicitly, by convention implementing the `Clone` trait and calling the `clone` method. */ /// A common trait for cloning an object. pub trait Clone { /// Returns a copy of the value. The contents of owned pointers /// are copied to maintain uniqueness, while the contents of /// managed pointers are not copied. fn clone(&self) -> Self; /// Perform copy-assignment from `source`. /// /// `a.clone_from(&b)` is equivalent to `a = b.clone()` in functionality, /// but can be overridden to reuse the resources of `a` to avoid unnecessary /// allocations. #[inline(always)] fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self) { *self = source.clone() } } impl Clone for ~T { /// Return a copy of the owned box. #[inline] fn clone(&self) -> ~T { ~(**self).clone() } /// Perform copy-assignment from `source` by reusing the existing allocation. fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &~T) { **self = (**source).clone() } } impl Clone for @T { /// Return a shallow copy of the managed box. #[inline] fn clone(&self) -> @T { *self } } impl<'a, T> Clone for &'a T { /// Return a shallow copy of the reference. #[inline] fn clone(&self) -> &'a T { *self } } impl<'a, T> Clone for &'a [T] { /// Return a shallow copy of the slice. #[inline] fn clone(&self) -> &'a [T] { *self } } impl<'a> Clone for &'a str { /// Return a shallow copy of the slice. #[inline] fn clone(&self) -> &'a str { *self } } macro_rules! clone_impl( ($t:ty) => { impl Clone for $t { /// Return a deep copy of the value. #[inline] fn clone(&self) -> $t { *self } } } ) clone_impl!(int) clone_impl!(i8) clone_impl!(i16) clone_impl!(i32) clone_impl!(i64) clone_impl!(uint) clone_impl!(u8) clone_impl!(u16) clone_impl!(u32) clone_impl!(u64) clone_impl!(f32) clone_impl!(f64) clone_impl!(()) clone_impl!(bool) clone_impl!(char) macro_rules! extern_fn_clone( ($($A:ident),*) => ( impl<$($A,)* ReturnType> Clone for extern "Rust" fn($($A),*) -> ReturnType { /// Return a copy of a function pointer #[inline] fn clone(&self) -> extern "Rust" fn($($A),*) -> ReturnType { *self } } ) ) extern_fn_clone!() extern_fn_clone!(A) extern_fn_clone!(A, B) extern_fn_clone!(A, B, C) extern_fn_clone!(A, B, C, D) extern_fn_clone!(A, B, C, D, E) extern_fn_clone!(A, B, C, D, E, F) extern_fn_clone!(A, B, C, D, E, F, G) extern_fn_clone!(A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H) #[test] fn test_owned_clone() { let a = ~5i; let b: ~int = a.clone(); assert_eq!(a, b); } #[test] fn test_managed_clone() { let a = @5i; let b: @int = a.clone(); assert_eq!(a, b); } #[test] fn test_borrowed_clone() { let x = 5i; let y: &int = &x; let z: &int = (&y).clone(); assert_eq!(*z, 5); } #[test] fn test_clone_from() { let a = ~5; let mut b = ~10; b.clone_from(&a); assert_eq!(*b, 5); } #[test] fn test_extern_fn_clone() { trait Empty {} impl Empty for int {} fn test_fn_a() -> f64 { 1.0 } fn test_fn_b(x: T) -> T { x } fn test_fn_c(_: int, _: f64, _: ~[int], _: int, _: int, _: int) {} let _ = test_fn_a.clone(); let _ = test_fn_b::.clone(); let _ = test_fn_c.clone(); }
