pub struct ARef<T: AlwaysRefCounted> { /* private fields */ }
Expand description

An owned reference to an always-reference-counted object.

The object’s reference count is automatically decremented when an instance of ARef is dropped. It is also automatically incremented when a new instance is created via ARef::clone.

Invariants

The pointer stored in ptr is non-null and valid for the lifetime of the ARef instance. In particular, the ARef instance owns an increment on underlying object’s reference count.

Implementations

Creates a new instance of ARef.

It takes over an increment of the reference count on the underlying object.

Safety

Callers must ensure that the reference count was incremented at least once, and that they are properly relinquishing one increment. That is, if there is only one increment, callers must not use the underlying object anymore – it is only safe to do so via the newly created ARef.
