A pointer type for heap allocation. //! //! `Box`, casually referred to as a 'box', provides the simplest form of //! heap allocation in Rust. Boxes provide ownership for this allocation, and //! drop their contents when they go out of scope. //! //! # Examples //! //! Creating a box: //! //! ``` //! let x = Box::new(5); //! ``` //! //! Creating a recursive data structure: //! //! ``` //! #[derive(Debug)] //! enum List { //! Cons(T, Box>), //! Nil, //! } //! //! fn main() { //! let list: List = List::Cons(1, Box::new(List::Cons(2, Box::new(List::Nil)))); //! println!("{:?}", list); //! } //! ``` //! //! This will print `Cons(1, Cons(2, Nil))`. //! //! Recursive structures must be boxed, because if the definition of `Cons` //! looked like this: //! //! ```rust,ignore //! Cons(T, List), //! ``` //! //! It wouldn't work. This is because the size of a `List` depends on how many //! elements are in the list, and so we don't know how much memory to allocate //! for a `Cons`. By introducing a `Box`, which has a defined size, we know how //! big `Cons` needs to be. #![stable(feature = "rust1", since = "1.0.0")] use heap; use raw_vec::RawVec; use core::any::Any; use core::borrow; use core::cmp::Ordering; use core::fmt; use core::hash::{self, Hash}; use core::iter::FusedIterator; use core::marker::{self, Unsize}; use core::mem; use core::ops::{CoerceUnsized, Deref, DerefMut}; use core::ops::{BoxPlace, Boxed, InPlace, Place, Placer}; use core::ptr::{self, Unique}; use core::convert::From; /// A value that represents the heap.
