rune_alloc::vec

Struct Vec

Source
pub struct Vec<T, A: Allocator = Global> { /* private fields */ }
Expand description

A contiguous growable array type, written as Vec<T>, short for ‘vector’.

§Examples

use rune::alloc::Vec;
use rune::alloc::prelude::*;

let mut vec = Vec::new();
vec.try_push(1)?;
vec.try_push(2)?;

assert_eq!(vec.len(), 2);
assert_eq!(vec[0], 1);

assert_eq!(vec.pop(), Some(2));
assert_eq!(vec.len(), 1);

vec[0] = 7;
assert_eq!(vec[0], 7);

vec.try_extend([1, 2, 3])?;

for x in &vec {
    println!("{x}");
}

assert_eq!(vec, [7, 1, 2, 3]);

The try_vec! macro is provided for convenient initialization:

use rune::alloc::{try_vec, Vec};

let mut vec1 = try_vec![1, 2, 3];
vec1.try_push(4)?;
let vec2 = Vec::try_from([1, 2, 3, 4])?;
assert_eq!(vec1, vec2);

It can also initialize each element of a Vec<T> with a given value. This may be more efficient than performing allocation and initialization in separate steps, especially when initializing a vector of zeros:

use rune::alloc::{try_vec, Vec};

let vec = try_vec![0; 5];
assert_eq!(vec, [0, 0, 0, 0, 0]);

// The following is equivalent, but potentially slower:
let mut vec = Vec::try_with_capacity(5)?;
vec.try_resize(5, 0)?;
assert_eq!(vec, [0, 0, 0, 0, 0]);

For more information, see Capacity and Reallocation.

Use a Vec<T> as an efficient stack:

use rune::alloc::Vec;

let mut stack = Vec::new();

stack.try_push(1)?;
stack.try_push(2)?;
stack.try_push(3)?;

while let Some(top) = stack.pop() {
    // Prints 3, 2, 1
    println!("{top}");
}

§Indexing

The Vec type allows to access values by index, because it implements the Index trait. An example will be more explicit:

use rune::alloc::try_vec;

let v = try_vec![0, 2, 4, 6];
println!("{}", v[1]); // it will display '2'

However be careful: if you try to access an index which isn’t in the Vec, your software will panic! You cannot do this:

use rune::alloc::try_vec;

let v = try_vec![0, 2, 4, 6];
println!("{}", v[6]); // it will panic!

Use get and get_mut if you want to check whether the index is in the Vec.

§Slicing

A Vec can be mutable. On the other hand, slices are read-only objects. To get a slice, use &. Example:

use rune::alloc::try_vec;

fn read_slice(slice: &[usize]) {
    // ...
}

let v = try_vec![0, 1];
read_slice(&v);

// ... and that's all!
// you can also do it like this:
let u: &[usize] = &v;
// or like this:
let u: &[_] = &v;

In Rust, it’s more common to pass slices as arguments rather than vectors when you just want to provide read access. The same goes for String and &str.

§Capacity and reallocation

The capacity of a vector is the amount of space allocated for any future elements that will be added onto the vector. This is not to be confused with the length of a vector, which specifies the number of actual elements within the vector. If a vector’s length exceeds its capacity, its capacity will automatically be increased, but its elements will have to be reallocated.

For example, a vector with capacity 10 and length 0 would be an empty vector with space for 10 more elements. Pushing 10 or fewer elements onto the vector will not change its capacity or cause reallocation to occur. However, if the vector’s length is increased to 11, it will have to reallocate, which can be slow. For this reason, it is recommended to use Vec::try_with_capacity whenever possible to specify how big the vector is expected to get.

§Guarantees

Due to its incredibly fundamental nature, Vec makes a lot of guarantees about its design. This ensures that it’s as low-overhead as possible in the general case, and can be correctly manipulated in primitive ways by unsafe code. Note that these guarantees refer to an unqualified Vec<T>. If additional type parameters are added (e.g., to support custom allocators), overriding their defaults may change the behavior.

Most fundamentally, Vec is and always will be a (pointer, capacity, length) triplet. No more, no less. The order of these fields is completely unspecified, and you should use the appropriate methods to modify these. The pointer will never be null, so this type is null-pointer-optimized.

However, the pointer might not actually point to allocated memory. In particular, if you construct a Vec with capacity 0 via Vec::new, [try_vec![]], [Vec::try_with_capacity(0)], or by calling try_shrink_to_fit on an empty Vec, it will not allocate memory. Similarly, if you store zero-sized types inside a Vec, it will not allocate space for them. Note that in this case the Vec might not report a capacity of 0. Vec will allocate if and only if mem::size_of::<T>() * capacity() > 0. In general, Vec’s allocation details are very subtle — if you intend to allocate memory using a Vec and use it for something else (either to pass to unsafe code, or to build your own memory-backed collection), be sure to deallocate this memory by using from_raw_parts to recover the Vec and then dropping it.

[try_vec![]]: try_vec! [Vec::try_with_capacity(0)]: Vec::try_with_capacity

If a Vec has allocated memory, then the memory it points to is on the heap (as defined by the allocator Rust is configured to use by default), and its pointer points to len initialized, contiguous elements in order (what you would see if you coerced it to a slice), followed by capacity - len logically uninitialized, contiguous elements.

A vector containing the elements 'a' and 'b' with capacity 4 can be visualized as below. The top part is the Vec struct, it contains a pointer to the head of the allocation in the heap, length and capacity. The bottom part is the allocation on the heap, a contiguous memory block.

            ptr      len  capacity
       +--------+--------+--------+
       | 0x0123 |      2 |      4 |
       +--------+--------+--------+
            |
            v
Heap   +--------+--------+--------+--------+
       |    'a' |    'b' | uninit | uninit |
       +--------+--------+--------+--------+
  • uninit represents memory that is not initialized, see MaybeUninit.
  • Note: the ABI is not stable and Vec makes no guarantees about its memory layout (including the order of fields).

Vec will never perform a “small optimization” where elements are actually stored on the stack for two reasons:

  • It would make it more difficult for unsafe code to correctly manipulate a Vec. The contents of a Vec wouldn’t have a stable address if it were only moved, and it would be more difficult to determine if a Vec had actually allocated memory.

  • It would penalize the general case, incurring an additional branch on every access.

Vec will never automatically shrink itself, even if completely empty. This ensures no unnecessary allocations or deallocations occur. Emptying a Vec and then filling it back up to the same len should incur no calls to the allocator. If you wish to free up unused memory, use try_shrink_to_fit or try_shrink_to.

try_push and try_insert will never (re)allocate if the reported capacity is sufficient. try_push and try_insert will (re)allocate if len == capacity. That is, the reported capacity is completely accurate, and can be relied on. It can even be used to manually free the memory allocated by a Vec if desired. Bulk insertion methods may reallocate, even when not necessary.

Vec does not guarantee any particular growth strategy when reallocating when full, nor when try_reserve is called. The current strategy is basic and it may prove desirable to use a non-constant growth factor. Whatever strategy is used will of course guarantee O(1) amortized try_push.

try_vec![x; n], try_vec![a, b, c, d], and Vec::try_with_capacity(n), will all produce a Vec with exactly the requested capacity. If len == capacity, (as is the case for the try_vec! macro), then a Vec<T> can be converted to and from a Box<[T]> without reallocating or moving the elements.

Vec will not specifically overwrite any data that is removed from it, but also won’t specifically preserve it. Its uninitialized memory is scratch space that it may use however it wants. It will generally just do whatever is most efficient or otherwise easy to implement. Do not rely on removed data to be erased for security purposes. Even if you drop a Vec, its buffer may simply be reused by another allocation. Even if you zero a Vec’s memory first, that might not actually happen because the optimizer does not consider this a side-effect that must be preserved. There is one case which we will not break, however: using unsafe code to write to the excess capacity, and then increasing the length to match, is always valid.

Currently, Vec does not guarantee the order in which elements are dropped. The order has changed in the past and may change again.

Implementations§

Source§

impl<T> Vec<T>

Source

pub const fn new() -> Self

Constructs a new, empty Vec<T>.

The vector will not allocate until elements are pushed onto it.

§Examples
let mut vec: Vec<i32> = Vec::new();
Source

pub fn try_with_capacity(capacity: usize) -> Result<Self, Error>

Constructs a new, empty Vec<T> with at least the specified capacity.

The vector will be able to hold at least capacity elements without reallocating. This method is allowed to allocate for more elements than capacity. If capacity is 0, the vector will not allocate.

It is important to note that although the returned vector has the minimum capacity specified, the vector will have a zero length. For an explanation of the difference between length and capacity, see Capacity and reallocation.

If it is important to know the exact allocated capacity of a Vec, always use the capacity method after construction.

For Vec<T> where T is a zero-sized type, there will be no allocation and the capacity will always be usize::MAX.

§Panics

Panics if the new capacity exceeds isize::MAX bytes.

§Examples
let mut vec = Vec::with_capacity(10);

// The vector contains no items, even though it has capacity for more
assert_eq!(vec.len(), 0);
assert!(vec.capacity() >= 10);

// These are all done without reallocating...
for i in 0..10 {
    vec.push(i);
}
assert_eq!(vec.len(), 10);
assert!(vec.capacity() >= 10);

// ...but this may make the vector reallocate
vec.push(11);
assert_eq!(vec.len(), 11);
assert!(vec.capacity() >= 11);

// A vector of a zero-sized type will always over-allocate, since no
// allocation is necessary
let vec_units = Vec::<()>::with_capacity(10);
assert_eq!(vec_units.capacity(), usize::MAX);
Source

pub fn into_std(self) -> Vec<T>

Convert a Vec<T> into a std Vec<T>.

The result is allocated on the heap, using the default global allocator so this is a zero-copy operation.

The memory previously occupied by this vector will be released.

Source§

impl<T, A: Allocator> Vec<T, A>

Source

pub const fn new_in(alloc: A) -> Self

Constructs a new, empty Vec<T, A>.

The vector will not allocate until elements are pushed onto it.

§Examples
use rune::alloc::Vec;
use rune::alloc::alloc::Global;

let mut vec: Vec<i32, Global> = Vec::new_in(Global);
Source

pub fn try_with_capacity_in(capacity: usize, alloc: A) -> Result<Self, Error>

Constructs a new, empty Vec<T, A> with at least the specified capacity with the provided allocator.

The vector will be able to hold at least capacity elements without reallocating. This method is allowed to allocate for more elements than capacity. If capacity is 0, the vector will not allocate.

It is important to note that although the returned vector has the minimum capacity specified, the vector will have a zero length. For an explanation of the difference between length and capacity, see Capacity and reallocation.

If it is important to know the exact allocated capacity of a Vec, always use the capacity method after construction.

For Vec<T, A> where T is a zero-sized type, there will be no allocation and the capacity will always be usize::MAX.

§Errors

Errors with Error::CapacityOverflow if the new capacity exceeds isize::MAX bytes.

§Examples
use rune::alloc::Vec;
use rune::alloc::alloc::Global;

let mut vec = Vec::try_with_capacity_in(10, Global)?;

// The vector contains no items, even though it has capacity for more
assert_eq!(vec.len(), 0);
assert!(vec.capacity() >= 10);

// These are all done without reallocating...
for i in 0..10 {
    vec.try_push(i)?;
}

assert_eq!(vec.len(), 10);
assert!(vec.capacity() >= 10);

// ...but this may make the vector reallocate
vec.try_push(11)?;
assert_eq!(vec.len(), 11);
assert!(vec.capacity() >= 11);

// A vector of a zero-sized type will always over-allocate, since no
// allocation is necessary
let vec_units = Vec::<(), Global>::try_with_capacity_in(10, Global)?;
assert_eq!(vec_units.capacity(), usize::MAX);
Source

pub unsafe fn from_raw_parts_in( ptr: *mut T, length: usize, capacity: usize, alloc: A, ) -> Self

Creates a Vec<T, A> directly from a pointer, a capacity, a length, and an allocator.

§Safety

This is highly unsafe, due to the number of invariants that aren’t checked:

  • ptr must be currently allocated via the given allocator alloc.
  • T needs to have the same alignment as what ptr was allocated with. (T having a less strict alignment is not sufficient, the alignment really needs to be equal to satisfy the dealloc requirement that memory must be allocated and deallocated with the same layout.)
  • The size of T times the capacity (ie. the allocated size in bytes) needs to be the same size as the pointer was allocated with. (Because similar to alignment, dealloc must be called with the same layout size.)
  • length needs to be less than or equal to capacity.
  • The first length values must be properly initialized values of type T.
  • capacity needs to fit the layout size that the pointer was allocated with.
  • The allocated size in bytes must be no larger than isize::MAX. See the safety documentation of pointer::offset.

These requirements are always upheld by any ptr that has been allocated via Vec<T, A>. Other allocation sources are allowed if the invariants are upheld.

Violating these may cause problems like corrupting the allocator’s internal data structures. For example it is not safe to build a Vec<u8> from a pointer to a C char array with length size_t. It’s also not safe to build one from a Vec<u16> and its length, because the allocator cares about the alignment, and these two types have different alignments. The buffer was allocated with alignment 2 (for u16), but after turning it into a Vec<u8> it’ll be deallocated with alignment 1.

The ownership of ptr is effectively transferred to the Vec<T> which may then deallocate, reallocate or change the contents of memory pointed to by the pointer at will. Ensure that nothing else uses the pointer after calling this function.

§Examples
use std::ptr;
use std::mem;

use rune::alloc::Vec;
use rune::alloc::alloc::Global;

let mut v = Vec::try_with_capacity_in(3, Global)?;
v.try_push(1)?;
v.try_push(2)?;
v.try_push(3)?;

// Prevent running `v`'s destructor so we are in complete control
// of the allocation.
let mut v = mem::ManuallyDrop::new(v);

// Pull out the various important pieces of information about `v`
let p = v.as_mut_ptr();
let len = v.len();
let cap = v.capacity();
let alloc = v.allocator();

unsafe {
    // Overwrite memory with 4, 5, 6
    for i in 0..len {
        ptr::write(p.add(i), 4 + i);
    }

    // Put everything back together into a Vec
    let rebuilt = Vec::from_raw_parts_in(p, len, cap, alloc.clone());
    assert_eq!(rebuilt, [4, 5, 6]);
}

Using memory that was allocated elsewhere:

use core::alloc::Layout;

use rune::alloc::Vec;
use rune::alloc::alloc::{Allocator, AllocError, Global};

let layout = Layout::array::<u32>(16).expect("overflow cannot happen");

let vec = unsafe {
    let mem = match Global.allocate(layout) {
        Ok(mem) => mem.cast::<u32>().as_ptr(),
        Err(AllocError) => return,
    };

    mem.write(1_000_000);

    Vec::from_raw_parts_in(mem, 1, 16, Global)
};

assert_eq!(vec, &[1_000_000]);
assert_eq!(vec.capacity(), 16);
Source

pub fn allocator(&self) -> &A

Returns a reference to the underlying allocator.

Source

pub fn into_raw_parts_with_alloc(self) -> (*mut T, usize, usize, A)

Decomposes a Vec<T> into its raw components.

Returns the raw pointer to the underlying data, the length of the vector (in elements), the allocated capacity of the data (in elements), and the allocator. These are the same arguments in the same order as the arguments to from_raw_parts_in.

After calling this function, the caller is responsible for the memory previously managed by the Vec. The only way to do this is to convert the raw pointer, length, and capacity back into a Vec with the from_raw_parts_in function, allowing the destructor to perform the cleanup.

§Examples
use rune::alloc::Vec;
use rune::alloc::alloc::Global;

let mut v: Vec<i32> = Vec::new_in(Global);
v.try_push(-1)?;
v.try_push(0)?;
v.try_push(1)?;

let (ptr, len, cap, alloc) = v.into_raw_parts_with_alloc();

let rebuilt = unsafe {
    // We can now make changes to the components, such as
    // transmuting the raw pointer to a compatible type.
    let ptr = ptr as *mut u32;

    Vec::from_raw_parts_in(ptr, len, cap, alloc)
};

assert_eq!(rebuilt, [4294967295, 0, 1]);
Source

pub fn capacity(&self) -> usize

Returns the total number of elements the vector can hold without reallocating.

§Examples
use rune::alloc::Vec;
use rune::alloc::alloc::Global;

let mut vec: Vec<i32> = Vec::try_with_capacity_in(10, Global)?;
vec.try_push(42)?;
assert!(vec.capacity() >= 10);
Source

pub fn try_reserve(&mut self, additional: usize) -> Result<(), Error>

Tries to reserve capacity for at least additional more elements to be inserted in the given Vec<T>. The collection may reserve more space to speculatively avoid frequent reallocations. After calling try_reserve, capacity will be greater than or equal to self.len() + additional if it returns Ok(()). Does nothing if capacity is already sufficient. This method preserves the contents even if an error occurs.

§Errors

If the capacity overflows, or the allocator reports a failure, then an error is returned.

§Examples
use rune::alloc::{Vec, Error};

fn process_data(data: &[u32]) -> Result<Vec<u32>, Error> {
    let mut output = Vec::new();

    // Pre-reserve the memory, exiting if we can't
    output.try_reserve(data.len())?;

    for value in data {
       output.try_push(*value)?;
    }

    Ok(output)
}
Source

pub fn try_reserve_exact(&mut self, additional: usize) -> Result<(), Error>

Tries to reserve the minimum capacity for at least additional elements to be inserted in the given Vec<T>. Unlike try_reserve, this will not deliberately over-allocate to speculatively avoid frequent allocations. After calling try_reserve_exact, capacity will be greater than or equal to self.len() + additional if it returns Ok(()). Does nothing if the capacity is already sufficient.

Note that the allocator may give the collection more space than it requests. Therefore, capacity can not be relied upon to be precisely minimal. Prefer try_reserve if future insertions are expected.

§Errors

If the capacity overflows, or the allocator reports a failure, then an error is returned.

§Examples
use rune::alloc::{Vec, Error};
use rune::alloc::prelude::*;

fn process_data(data: &[u32]) -> Result<Vec<u32>, Error> {
    let mut output = Vec::new();

    // Pre-reserve the memory, exiting if we can't
    output.try_reserve_exact(data.len())?;

    // Now we know this can't OOM in the middle of our complex work
    output.try_extend(data.iter().map(|&val| {
        val * 2 + 5 // very complicated
    }))?;

    Ok(output)
}
Source

pub fn try_shrink_to_fit(&mut self) -> Result<(), Error>

Shrinks the capacity of the vector as much as possible.

It will drop down as close as possible to the length but the allocator may still inform the vector that there is space for a few more elements.

§Examples
use rune::alloc::Vec;
use rune::alloc::prelude::*;

let mut vec = Vec::try_with_capacity(10)?;
vec.try_extend([1, 2, 3])?;
assert!(vec.capacity() >= 10);
vec.try_shrink_to_fit()?;
assert!(vec.capacity() >= 3);
Source

pub fn try_shrink_to(&mut self, min_capacity: usize) -> Result<(), Error>

Shrinks the capacity of the vector with a lower bound.

The capacity will remain at least as large as both the length and the supplied value.

If the current capacity is less than the lower limit, this is a no-op.

§Examples
use rune::alloc::Vec;
use rune::alloc::prelude::*;

let mut vec = Vec::try_with_capacity(10)?;
vec.try_extend([1, 2, 3])?;
assert!(vec.capacity() >= 10);
vec.try_shrink_to(4)?;
assert!(vec.capacity() >= 4);
vec.try_shrink_to(0)?;
assert!(vec.capacity() >= 3);
Source

pub fn try_into_boxed_slice(self) -> Result<Box<[T], A>, Error>

Converts the vector into Box<[T]>.

If the vector has excess capacity, its items will be moved into a newly-allocated buffer with exactly the right capacity.

§Examples
use rune::alloc::try_vec;

let v = try_vec![1, 2, 3];
let slice = v.try_into_boxed_slice()?;

Any excess capacity is removed:

use rune::alloc::Vec;
use rune::alloc::prelude::*;

let mut vec = Vec::try_with_capacity(10)?;
vec.try_extend([1, 2, 3])?;

assert!(vec.capacity() >= 10);
let slice = vec.try_into_boxed_slice()?;
assert_eq!(Vec::from(slice).capacity(), 3);
Source

pub fn truncate(&mut self, len: usize)

Shortens the vector, keeping the first len elements and dropping the rest.

If len is greater than the vector’s current length, this has no effect.

The drain method can emulate truncate, but causes the excess elements to be returned instead of dropped.

Note that this method has no effect on the allocated capacity of the vector.

§Examples

Truncating a five element vector to two elements:

use rune::alloc::try_vec;

let mut vec = try_vec![1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
vec.truncate(2);
assert_eq!(vec, [1, 2]);

No truncation occurs when len is greater than the vector’s current length:

use rune::alloc::try_vec;

let mut vec = try_vec![1, 2, 3];
vec.truncate(8);
assert_eq!(vec, [1, 2, 3]);

Truncating when len == 0 is equivalent to calling the clear method.

use rune::alloc::try_vec;

let mut vec = try_vec![1, 2, 3];
vec.truncate(0);
assert_eq!(vec, []);
Source

pub fn as_slice(&self) -> &[T]

Extracts a slice containing the entire vector.

Equivalent to &s[..].

§Examples
use std::io::{self, Write};
use rune::alloc::try_vec;

let buffer = try_vec![1, 2, 3, 5, 8];
io::sink().write(buffer.as_slice()).unwrap();
Source

pub fn as_mut_slice(&mut self) -> &mut [T]

Extracts a mutable slice of the entire vector.

Equivalent to &mut s[..].

§Examples
use std::io::{self, Read};
use rune::alloc::try_vec;

let mut buffer = try_vec![0; 3];
io::repeat(0b101).read_exact(buffer.as_mut_slice()).unwrap();
Source

pub fn as_ptr(&self) -> *const T

Returns a raw pointer to the vector’s buffer, or a dangling raw pointer valid for zero sized reads if the vector didn’t allocate.

The caller must ensure that the vector outlives the pointer this function returns, or else it will end up pointing to garbage. Modifying the vector may cause its buffer to be reallocated, which would also make any pointers to it invalid.

The caller must also ensure that the memory the pointer (non-transitively) points to is never written to (except inside an UnsafeCell) using this pointer or any pointer derived from it. If you need to mutate the contents of the slice, use as_mut_ptr.

§Examples
use rune::alloc::try_vec;

let x = try_vec![1, 2, 4];
let x_ptr = x.as_ptr();

unsafe {
    for i in 0..x.len() {
        assert_eq!(*x_ptr.add(i), 1 << i);
    }
}
Source

pub fn as_mut_ptr(&mut self) -> *mut T

Returns an unsafe mutable pointer to the vector’s buffer, or a dangling raw pointer valid for zero sized reads if the vector didn’t allocate.

The caller must ensure that the vector outlives the pointer this function returns, or else it will end up pointing to garbage. Modifying the vector may cause its buffer to be reallocated, which would also make any pointers to it invalid.

§Examples
use rune::alloc::Vec;

// Allocate vector big enough for 4 elements.
let size = 4;
let mut x: Vec<i32> = Vec::try_with_capacity(size)?;
let x_ptr = x.as_mut_ptr();

// Initialize elements via raw pointer writes, then set length.
unsafe {
    for i in 0..size {
        *x_ptr.add(i) = i as i32;
    }
    x.set_len(size);
}
assert_eq!(&*x, &[0, 1, 2, 3]);
Source

pub unsafe fn set_len(&mut self, new_len: usize)

Forces the length of the vector to new_len.

This is a low-level operation that maintains none of the normal invariants of the type. Normally changing the length of a vector is done using one of the safe operations instead, such as truncate, try_resize, try_extend, or clear.

§Safety
  • new_len must be less than or equal to capacity().
  • The elements at old_len..new_len must be initialized.
§Examples

This method can be useful for situations in which the vector is serving as a buffer for other code, particularly over FFI:

pub(crate) fn get_dictionary(&self) -> Option<Vec<u8>> {
    // Per the FFI method's docs, "32768 bytes is always enough".
    let mut dict = Vec::with_capacity(32_768);
    let mut dict_length = 0;
    // SAFETY: When `deflateGetDictionary` returns `Z_OK`, it holds that:
    // 1. `dict_length` elements were initialized.
    // 2. `dict_length` <= the capacity (32_768)
    // which makes `set_len` safe to call.
    unsafe {
        // Make the FFI call...
        let r = deflateGetDictionary(self.strm, dict.as_mut_ptr(), &mut dict_length);
        if r == Z_OK {
            // ...and update the length to what was initialized.
            dict.set_len(dict_length);
            Some(dict)
        } else {
            None
        }
    }
}

While the following example is sound, there is a memory leak since the inner vectors were not freed prior to the set_len call:

use rune::alloc::try_vec;

let mut vec = try_vec![try_vec![1, 0, 0],
                       try_vec![0, 1, 0],
                       try_vec![0, 0, 1]];
// SAFETY:
// 1. `old_len..0` is empty so no elements need to be initialized.
// 2. `0 <= capacity` always holds whatever `capacity` is.
unsafe {
    vec.set_len(0);
}

Normally, here, one would use clear instead to correctly drop the contents and thus not leak memory.

pub fn swap_remove(&mut self, index: usize) -> T

Removes an element from the vector and returns it.

The removed element is replaced by the last element of the vector.

This does not preserve ordering, but is O(1). If you need to preserve the element order, use remove instead.

§Panics

Panics if index is out of bounds.

§Examples
use rune::alloc::try_vec;

let mut v = try_vec!["foo", "bar", "baz", "qux"];

assert_eq!(v.swap_remove(1), "bar");
assert_eq!(v, ["foo", "qux", "baz"]);

assert_eq!(v.swap_remove(0), "foo");
assert_eq!(v, ["baz", "qux"]);
Source

pub fn try_insert(&mut self, index: usize, element: T) -> Result<(), Error>

Inserts an element at position index within the vector, shifting all elements after it to the right.

§Panics

Panics if index > len.

§Examples
use rune::alloc::try_vec;

let mut vec = try_vec![1, 2, 3];
vec.try_insert(1, 4)?;
assert_eq!(vec, [1, 4, 2, 3]);
vec.try_insert(4, 5)?;
assert_eq!(vec, [1, 4, 2, 3, 5]);
Source

pub fn remove(&mut self, index: usize) -> T

Removes and returns the element at position index within the vector, shifting all elements after it to the left.

Note: Because this shifts over the remaining elements, it has a worst-case performance of O(n). If you don’t need the order of elements to be preserved, use swap_remove instead. If you’d like to remove elements from the beginning of the Vec, consider using VecDeque::pop_front instead.

§Panics

Panics if index is out of bounds.

§Examples
use rune::alloc::try_vec;

let mut v = try_vec![1, 2, 3];
assert_eq!(v.remove(1), 2);
assert_eq!(v, [1, 3]);
Source

pub fn retain<F>(&mut self, f: F)
where F: FnMut(&T) -> bool,

Retains only the elements specified by the predicate.

In other words, remove all elements e for which f(&e) returns false. This method operates in place, visiting each element exactly once in the original order, and preserves the order of the retained elements.

§Examples
use rune::alloc::try_vec;

let mut vec = try_vec![1, 2, 3, 4];
vec.retain(|&x| x % 2 == 0);
assert_eq!(vec, [2, 4]);

Because the elements are visited exactly once in the original order, external state may be used to decide which elements to keep.

use rune::alloc::try_vec;

let mut vec = try_vec![1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
let keep = [false, true, true, false, true];
let mut iter = keep.iter();
vec.retain(|_| *iter.next().unwrap());
assert_eq!(vec, [2, 3, 5]);
Source

pub fn retain_mut<F>(&mut self, f: F)
where F: FnMut(&mut T) -> bool,

Retains only the elements specified by the predicate, passing a mutable reference to it.

In other words, remove all elements e such that f(&mut e) returns false. This method operates in place, visiting each element exactly once in the original order, and preserves the order of the retained elements.

§Examples
use rune::alloc::try_vec;

let mut vec = try_vec![1, 2, 3, 4];
vec.retain_mut(|x| if *x <= 3 {
    *x += 1;
    true
} else {
    false
});
assert_eq!(vec, [2, 3, 4]);
Source

pub fn dedup_by_key<F, K>(&mut self, key: F)
where F: FnMut(&mut T) -> K, K: PartialEq,

Removes all but the first of consecutive elements in the vector that resolve to the same key.

If the vector is sorted, this removes all duplicates.

§Examples
use rune::alloc::try_vec;

let mut vec = try_vec![10, 20, 21, 30, 20];
vec.dedup_by_key(|i| *i / 10);
assert_eq!(vec, [10, 20, 30, 20]);
Source

pub fn dedup_by<F>(&mut self, same_bucket: F)
where F: FnMut(&mut T, &mut T) -> bool,

Removes all but the first of consecutive elements in the vector satisfying a given equality relation.

The same_bucket function is passed references to two elements from the vector and must determine if the elements compare equal. The elements are passed in opposite order from their order in the slice, so if same_bucket(a, b) returns true, a is removed.

If the vector is sorted, this removes all duplicates.

§Examples
use rune::alloc::try_vec;

let mut vec = try_vec!["foo", "bar", "Bar", "baz", "bar"];
vec.dedup_by(|a, b| a.eq_ignore_ascii_case(b));
assert_eq!(vec, ["foo", "bar", "baz", "bar"]);
Source

pub fn try_push(&mut self, value: T) -> Result<(), Error>

Appends an element to the back of a collection.

§Panics

Panics if the new capacity exceeds isize::MAX bytes.

§Examples
use rune::alloc::Vec;
use rune::alloc::alloc::Global;

let mut vec: Vec<i32> = Vec::try_with_capacity_in(2, Global)?;
vec.try_push(1)?;
vec.try_push(2)?;
vec.try_push(3)?;
assert_eq!(vec, [1, 2, 3]);
Source

pub fn push_within_capacity(&mut self, value: T) -> Result<(), T>

Appends an element if there is sufficient spare capacity, otherwise an error is returned with the element.

Unlike try_push this method will not reallocate when there’s insufficient capacity. The caller should use try_reserve to ensure that there is enough capacity.

§Examples

A manual, alternative to TryFromIteratorIn:

use rune::alloc::{Vec, Error};
use rune::alloc::prelude::*;

fn from_iter_fallible<T>(iter: impl Iterator<Item=T>) -> Result<Vec<T>, Error> {
    let mut vec = Vec::new();

    for value in iter {
        if let Err(value) = vec.push_within_capacity(value) {
            vec.try_reserve(1)?;
            // this cannot fail, the previous line either returned or added at least 1 free slot
            let _ = vec.push_within_capacity(value);
        }
    }

    Ok(vec)
}

assert_eq!(from_iter_fallible(0..100), Ok(Vec::try_from_iter(0..100)?));
Source

pub fn pop(&mut self) -> Option<T>

Removes the last element from a vector and returns it, or None if it is empty.

§Examples
use rune::alloc::Vec;
use rune::alloc::prelude::*;

let mut vec = Vec::try_from_iter([1, 2, 3])?;
assert_eq!(vec.pop(), Some(3));
assert_eq!(vec, [1, 2]);
Source

pub fn try_append(&mut self, other: &mut Self) -> Result<(), Error>

Moves all the elements of other into self, leaving other empty.

§Panics

Panics if the new capacity exceeds isize::MAX bytes.

§Examples
use rune::alloc::try_vec;

let mut vec = try_vec![1, 2, 3];
let mut vec2 = try_vec![4, 5, 6];
vec.try_append(&mut vec2)?;
assert_eq!(vec, [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]);
assert_eq!(vec2, []);
Source

pub unsafe fn raw_iter(&self) -> RawIter<T>

Construct a raw iterator over the current vector

§Safety

The caller must ensure that any pointers returned by the iterator are not dereferenced unless the object they were constructed from is still alive.

Source

pub unsafe fn raw_iter_mut(&mut self) -> RawIterMut<T>

Construct a raw mutable iterator over the current vector

§Safety

The caller must ensure that any pointers returned by the iterator are not dereferenced unless the object they were constructed from is still alive.

As a mutable iterator, this also implies that no other mutable accesses are performed over the collection this was constructed from until the returned iterator has been dropped.

Source

pub fn drain<R>(&mut self, range: R) -> Drain<'_, T, A>
where R: RangeBounds<usize>,

Removes the specified range from the vector in bulk, returning all removed elements as an iterator. If the iterator is dropped before being fully consumed, it drops the remaining removed elements.

The returned iterator keeps a mutable borrow on the vector to optimize its implementation.

§Panics

Panics if the starting point is greater than the end point or if the end point is greater than the length of the vector.

§Leaking

If the returned iterator goes out of scope without being dropped (due to mem::forget, for example), the vector may have lost and leaked elements arbitrarily, including elements outside the range.

§Examples
use rune::alloc::{try_vec, Vec};
use rune::alloc::prelude::*;

let mut v = try_vec![1, 2, 3];
let u: Vec<_> = v.drain(1..).try_collect()?;
assert_eq!(v, &[1]);
assert_eq!(u, &[2, 3]);

// A full range clears the vector, like `clear()` does
v.drain(..);
assert_eq!(v, &[]);
Source

pub fn clear(&mut self)

Clears the vector, removing all values.

Note that this method has no effect on the allocated capacity of the vector.

§Examples
use rune::alloc::try_vec;

let mut v = try_vec![1, 2, 3];
v.clear();
assert!(v.is_empty());
Source

pub const fn len(&self) -> usize

Returns the number of elements in the vector, also referred to as its ‘length’.

§Examples
use rune::alloc::Vec;
use rune::alloc::alloc::Global;

let mut a = Vec::new_in(Global);

for value in 0..3 {
    a.try_push(value)?;
}

assert_eq!(a.len(), 3);
Source

pub fn is_empty(&self) -> bool

Returns true if the vector contains no elements.

§Examples
use rune::alloc::Vec;

let mut v = Vec::new();
assert!(v.is_empty());

v.try_push(1)?;
assert!(!v.is_empty());
Source

pub fn try_split_off(&mut self, at: usize) -> Result<Self, Error>
where A: Clone,

Splits the collection into two at the given index.

Returns a newly allocated vector containing the elements in the range [at, len). After the call, the original vector will be left containing the elements [0, at) with its previous capacity unchanged.

§Panics

Panics if at > len.

§Examples
use rune::alloc::try_vec;

let mut vec = try_vec![1, 2, 3];
let vec2 = vec.try_split_off(1)?;
assert_eq!(vec, [1]);
assert_eq!(vec2, [2, 3]);
Source

pub fn try_resize_with<F>(&mut self, new_len: usize, f: F) -> Result<(), Error>
where F: FnMut() -> T,

Resizes the Vec in-place so that len is equal to new_len.

If new_len is greater than len, the Vec is extended by the difference, with each additional slot filled with the result of calling the closure f. The return values from f will end up in the Vec in the order they have been generated.

If new_len is less than len, the Vec is simply truncated.

This method uses a closure to create new values on every push. If you’d rather Clone a given value, use Vec::try_resize. If you want to use the Default trait to generate values, you can pass Default::default as the second argument.

§Examples
use rune::alloc::try_vec;

let mut vec = try_vec![1, 2, 3];
vec.try_resize_with(5, Default::default)?;
assert_eq!(vec, [1, 2, 3, 0, 0]);

let mut vec = try_vec![];
let mut p = 1;
vec.try_resize_with(4, || { p *= 2; p })?;
assert_eq!(vec, [2, 4, 8, 16]);
Source

pub fn leak<'a>(self) -> &'a mut [T]
where A: 'a,

Consumes and leaks the Vec, returning a mutable reference to the contents, &'a mut [T]. Note that the type T must outlive the chosen lifetime 'a. If the type has only static references, or none at all, then this may be chosen to be 'static.

As of Rust 1.57, this method does not reallocate or shrink the Vec, so the leaked allocation may include unused capacity that is not part of the returned slice.

This function is mainly useful for data that lives for the remainder of the program’s life. Dropping the returned reference will cause a memory leak.

§Examples

Simple usage:

use rune::alloc::try_vec;

let x = try_vec![1, 2, 3];
let static_ref: &'static mut [usize] = x.leak();
static_ref[0] += 1;
assert_eq!(static_ref, &[2, 2, 3]);
Source

pub fn spare_capacity_mut(&mut self) -> &mut [MaybeUninit<T>]

Returns the remaining spare capacity of the vector as a slice of MaybeUninit<T>.

The returned slice can be used to fill the vector with data (e.g. by reading from a file) before marking the data as initialized using the set_len method.

§Examples
use rune::alloc::Vec;

// Allocate vector big enough for 10 elements.
let mut v = Vec::try_with_capacity(10)?;

// Fill in the first 3 elements.
let uninit = v.spare_capacity_mut();
uninit[0].write(0);
uninit[1].write(1);
uninit[2].write(2);

// Mark the first 3 elements of the vector as being initialized.
unsafe {
    v.set_len(3);
}

assert_eq!(&v, &[0, 1, 2]);
Source

pub fn split_at_spare_mut(&mut self) -> (&mut [T], &mut [MaybeUninit<T>])

Returns vector content as a slice of T, along with the remaining spare capacity of the vector as a slice of MaybeUninit<T>.

The returned spare capacity slice can be used to fill the vector with data (e.g. by reading from a file) before marking the data as initialized using the set_len method.

Note that this is a low-level API, which should be used with care for optimization purposes. If you need to append data to a Vec you can use try_push, try_extend, try_extend_from_slice, try_extend_from_within, try_insert, try_append, try_resize or try_resize_with, depending on your exact needs.

§Examples
use rune::alloc::try_vec;

let mut v = try_vec![1, 1, 2];

// Reserve additional space big enough for 10 elements.
v.try_reserve(10)?;

let (init, uninit) = v.split_at_spare_mut();
let sum = init.iter().copied().sum::<u32>();

// Fill in the next 4 elements.
uninit[0].write(sum);
uninit[1].write(sum * 2);
uninit[2].write(sum * 3);
uninit[3].write(sum * 4);

// Mark the 4 elements of the vector as being initialized.
unsafe {
    let len = v.len();
    v.set_len(len + 4);
}

assert_eq!(&v, &[1, 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 16]);

where T: TryClone,

Source

pub fn try_resize(&mut self, new_len: usize, value: T) -> Result<(), Error>

Resizes the Vec in-place so that len is equal to new_len.

If new_len is greater than len, the Vec is extended by the difference, with each additional slot filled with value. If new_len is less than len, the Vec is simply truncated.

This method requires T to implement Clone, in order to be able to clone the passed value. If you need more flexibility (or want to rely on Default instead of Clone), use Vec::try_resize_with. If you only need to resize to a smaller size, use Vec::truncate.

§Examples
use rune::alloc::try_vec;

let mut vec = try_vec!["hello"];
vec.try_resize(3, "world")?;
assert_eq!(vec, ["hello", "world", "world"]);

let mut vec = try_vec![1, 2, 3, 4];
vec.try_resize(2, 0)?;
assert_eq!(vec, [1, 2]);
Source

pub fn try_extend_from_slice(&mut self, other: &[T]) -> Result<(), Error>

Clones and appends all elements in a slice to the Vec.

Iterates over the slice other, clones each element, and then appends it to this Vec. The other slice is traversed in-order.

Note that this function is same as try_extend except that it is specialized to work with slices instead. If and when Rust gets specialization this function will likely be deprecated (but still available).

§Examples
use rune::alloc::try_vec;

let mut vec = try_vec![1];
vec.try_extend_from_slice(&[2, 3, 4]);
assert_eq!(vec, [1, 2, 3, 4]);
Source

pub fn try_extend_from_within<R>(&mut self, src: R) -> Result<(), Error>
where R: RangeBounds<usize>,

Copies elements from src range to the end of the vector.

§Panics

Panics if the starting point is greater than the end point or if the end point is greater than the length of the vector.

§Examples
use rune::alloc::try_vec;

let mut vec = try_vec![0, 1, 2, 3, 4];

vec.try_extend_from_within(2..);
assert_eq!(vec, [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 2, 3, 4]);

vec.try_extend_from_within(..2);
assert_eq!(vec, [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 2, 3, 4, 0, 1]);

vec.try_extend_from_within(4..8);
assert_eq!(vec, [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 2, 3, 4, 0, 1, 4, 2, 3, 4]);

impl<T, A: Allocator, const N: usize> Vec<[T; N], A>

Source

pub fn into_flattened(self) -> Vec<T, A>

Takes a Vec<[T; N]> and flattens it into a Vec<T>.

§Panics

Panics if the length of the resulting vector would overflow a usize.

This is only possible when flattening a vector of arrays of zero-sized types, and thus tends to be irrelevant in practice. If size_of::<T>() > 0, this will never panic.

§Examples
use rune::alloc::try_vec;

let mut vec = try_vec![[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], [7, 8, 9]];
assert_eq!(vec.pop(), Some([7, 8, 9]));

vec.dedup();

pub fn as_ptr(&self) -> *const T

Returns a raw pointer to the slice’s buffer.

The caller must ensure that the slice outlives the pointer this function returns, or else it will end up dangling.

The caller must also ensure that the memory the pointer (non-transitively) points to is never written to (except inside an UnsafeCell) using this pointer or any pointer derived from it. If you need to mutate the contents of the slice, use as_mut_ptr.

Modifying the container referenced by this slice may cause its buffer to be reallocated, which would also make any pointers to it invalid.

§Examples
let x = &[1, 2, 4];
let x_ptr = x.as_ptr();

unsafe {

pub fn as_ptr_range(&self) -> Range<*const T>

Returns the two raw pointers spanning the slice.

The returned range is half-open, which means that the end pointer points one past the last element of the slice. This way, an empty slice is represented by two equal pointers, and the difference between the two pointers represents the size of the slice.

See as_ptr for warnings on using these pointers. The end pointer requires extra caution, as it does not point to a valid element in the slice.

This function is useful for interacting with foreign interfaces which use two pointers to refer to a range of elements in memory, as is common in C++.

It can also be useful to check if a pointer to an element refers to an element of this slice:

let a = [1, 2, 3];
let x = &a[1] as *const _;
let y = &5 as *const _;

assert!(a.as_ptr_range().contains(&x));

pub fn windows(&self, size: usize) -> Windows<'_, T>

Returns an iterator over all contiguous windows of length size. The windows overlap. If the slice is shorter than size, the iterator returns no values.

§Panics

Panics if size is zero.

§Examples
let slice = ['l', 'o', 'r', 'e', 'm'];
let mut iter = slice.windows(3);
assert_eq!(iter.next().unwrap(), &['l', 'o', 'r']);
assert_eq!(iter.next().unwrap(), &['o', 'r', 'e']);
assert_eq!(iter.next().unwrap(), &['r', 'e', 'm']);
assert!(iter.next().is_none());

If the slice is shorter than size:

let slice = ['f', 'o', 'o'];
let mut iter = slice.windows(4);
assert!(iter.next().is_none());

There’s no windows_mut, as that existing would let safe code violate the “only one &mut at a time to the same thing” rule. However, you can sometimes use Cell::as_slice_of_cells in conjunction with windows to accomplish something similar:

use std::cell::Cell;

let mut array = ['R', 'u', 's', 't', ' ', '2', '0', '1', '5'];
let slice = &mut array[..];
let slice_of_cells: &[Cell<char>] = Cell::from_mut(slice).as_slice_of_cells();
for w in slice_of_cells.windows(3) {
    Cell::swap(&w[0], &w[2]);
}

pub fn rchunks_exact(&self, chunk_size: usize) -> RChunksExact<'_, T>

Returns an iterator over chunk_size elements of the slice at a time, starting at the end of the slice.

The chunks are slices and do not overlap. If chunk_size does not divide the length of the slice, then the last up to chunk_size-1 elements will be omitted and can be retrieved from the remainder function of the iterator.

Due to each chunk having exactly chunk_size elements, the compiler can often optimize the resulting code better than in the case of rchunks.

See rchunks for a variant of this iterator that also returns the remainder as a smaller chunk, and chunks_exact for the same iterator but starting at the beginning of the slice.

§Panics

Panics if chunk_size is zero.

§Examples
let slice = ['l', 'o', 'r', 'e', 'm'];
let mut iter = slice.rchunks_exact(2);
assert_eq!(iter.next().unwrap(), &['e', 'm']);
assert_eq!(iter.next().unwrap(), &['o', 'r']);
assert!(iter.next().is_none());
assert_eq!(iter.remainder(), &['l']);

pub fn chunk_by<F>(&self, pred: F) -> ChunkBy<'_, T, F>
where F: FnMut(&T, &T) -> bool,

Returns an iterator over the slice producing non-overlapping runs of elements using the predicate to separate them.

The predicate is called for every pair of consecutive elements, meaning that it is called on slice[0] and slice[1], followed by slice[1] and slice[2], and so on.

§Examples
let slice = &[1, 1, 1, 3, 3, 2, 2, 2];

let mut iter = slice.chunk_by(|a, b| a == b);

assert_eq!(iter.next(), Some(&[1, 1, 1][..]));
assert_eq!(iter.next(), Some(&[3, 3][..]));
assert_eq!(iter.next(), Some(&[2, 2, 2][..]));
assert_eq!(iter.next(), None);

Binary searches this slice for a given element. If the slice is not sorted, the returned result is unspecified and meaningless.

If the value is found then Result::Ok is returned, containing the index of the matching element. If there are multiple matches, then any one of the matches could be returned. The index is chosen deterministically, but is subject to change in future versions of Rust. If the value is not found then Result::Err is returned, containing the index where a matching element could be inserted while maintaining sorted order.

See also binary_search_by, binary_search_by_key, and partition_point.

§Examples

Looks up a series of four elements. The first is found, with a uniquely determined position; the second and third are not found; the fourth could match any position in [1, 4].

let s = [0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55];

assert_eq!(s.binary_search(&13),  Ok(9));

assert_eq!(s.binary_search(&100), Err(13));
let r = s.binary_search(&1);
assert!(match r { Ok(1..=4) => true, _ => false, });

If you want to find that whole range of matching items, rather than an arbitrary matching one, that can be done using partition_point:

let s = [0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55];

let low = s.partition_point(|x| x < &1);

// `s.binary_search(&num).unwrap_or_else(|x| x)`, but using `<=` will allow `insert`
// to shift less elements.
s.insert(idx, num);

pub fn binary_search_by<'a, F>(&'a self, f: F) -> Result<usize, usize>
where F: FnMut(&'a T) -> Ordering,

Binary searches this slice with a comparator function.

The comparator function should return an order code that indicates whether its argument is Less, Equal or Greater the desired target. If the slice is not sorted or if the comparator function does not implement an order consistent with the sort order of the underlying slice, the returned result is unspecified and meaningless.

If the value is found then Result::Ok is returned, containing the index of the matching element. If there are multiple matches, then any one of the matches could be returned. The index is chosen deterministically, but is subject to change in future versions of Rust. If the value is not found then Result::Err is returned, containing the index where a matching element could be inserted while maintaining sorted order.

See also binary_search, binary_search_by_key, and partition_point.

§Examples

Looks up a series of four elements. The first is found, with a uniquely determined position; the second and third are not found; the fourth could match any position in [1, 4].

Binary searches this slice with a key extraction function.

Assumes that the slice is sorted by the key, for instance with sort_by_key using the same key extraction function. If the slice is not sorted by the key, the returned result is unspecified and meaningless.

If the value is found then Result::Ok is returned, containing the index of the matching element. If there are multiple matches, then any one of the matches could be returned. The index is chosen deterministically, but is subject to change in future versions of Rust. If the value is not found then Result::Err is returned, containing the index where a matching element could be inserted while maintaining sorted order.

pub fn sort_unstable(&mut self)
where T: Ord,

Sorts the slice without preserving the initial order of equal elements.

This sort is unstable (i.e., may reorder equal elements), in-place (i.e., does not allocate), and O(n * log(n)) worst-case.

If the implementation of Ord for T does not implement a total order the resulting order of elements in the slice is unspecified. All original elements will remain in the slice and any possible modifications via interior mutability are observed in the input. Same is true if the implementation of Ord for T panics.

Sorting types that only implement PartialOrd such as f32 and f64 require additional precautions. For example, f32::NAN != f32::NAN, which doesn’t fulfill the reflexivity requirement of Ord. By using an alternative comparison function with slice::sort_unstable_by such as f32::total_cmp or f64::total_cmp that defines a total order users can sort slices containing floating-point values. Alternatively, if all values in the slice are guaranteed to be in a subset for which PartialOrd::partial_cmp forms a total order, it’s possible to sort the slice with sort_unstable_by(|a, b| a.partial_cmp(b).unwrap()).

§Current implementation

The current implementation is based on ipnsort by Lukas Bergdoll and Orson Peters, which combines the fast average case of quicksort with the fast worst case of heapsort, achieving linear time on fully sorted and reversed inputs. On inputs with k distinct elements, the expected time to sort the data is O(n * log(k)).

It is typically faster than stable sorting, except in a few special cases, e.g., when the slice is partially sorted.

§Panics

May panic if the implementation of Ord for T does not implement a total order.

§Examples
let mut v = [4, -5, 1, -3, 2];

v.sort_unstable();
assert_eq!(v, [-5, -3, 1, 2, 4]);

For example |a, b| (a - b).cmp(a) is a comparison function that is neither transitive nor reflexive nor total, a < b < c < a with a = 1, b = 2, c = 3. For more information and examples see the Ord documentation.

pub fn select_nth_unstable( &mut self, index: usize, ) -> (&mut [T], &mut T, &mut [T])
where T: Ord,

Reorders the slice such that the element at index after the reordering is at its final sorted position.

This reordering has the additional property that any value at position i < index will be less than or equal to any value at a position j > index. Additionally, this reordering is unstable (i.e. any number of equal elements may end up at position index), in-place (i.e. does not allocate), and runs in O(n) time. This function is also known as “kth element” in other libraries.

It returns a triplet of the following from the reordered slice: the subslice prior to index, the element at index, and the subslice after index; accordingly, the values in those two subslices will respectively all be less-than-or-equal-to and greater-than-or-equal-to the value of the element at index.

§Current implementation

The current algorithm is an introselect implementation based on ipnsort by Lukas Bergdoll and Orson Peters, which is also the basis for sort_unstable. The fallback algorithm is Median of Medians using Tukey’s Ninther for pivot selection, which guarantees linear runtime for all inputs.

Panics when index >= len(), meaning it always panics on empty slices.

Moves all but the first of consecutive elements to the end of the slice satisfying a given equality relation.

Returns two slices. The first contains no consecutive repeated elements. The second contains all the duplicates in no specified order.

The same_bucket function is passed references to two elements from the slice and must determine if the elements compare equal. The elements are passed in opposite order from their order in the slice, so if same_bucket(a, b) returns true, a is moved at the end of the slice.

pub unsafe fn align_to<U>(&self) -> (&[T], &[U], &[T])

Transmutes the slice to a slice of another type, ensuring alignment of the types is maintained.

This method splits the slice into three distinct slices: prefix, correctly aligned middle slice of a new type, and the suffix slice. The middle part will be as big as possible under the given alignment constraint and element size.

This method has no purpose when either input element T or output element U are zero-sized and will return the original slice without splitting anything.

Transmutes the mutable slice to a mutable slice of another type, ensuring alignment of the types is maintained.

This method splits the slice into three distinct slices: prefix, correctly aligned middle slice of a new type, and the suffix slice. The middle part will be as big as possible under the given alignment constraint and element size.

This method has no purpose when either input element T or output element U are zero-sized and will return the original slice without splitting anything.

§Safety

This method is essentially a transmute with respect to the elements in the returned middle slice, so all the usual caveats pertaining to transmute::<T, U> also apply here.

§Examples

Basic usage:

unsafe {
    let mut bytes: [u8; 7] = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7];
    let (prefix, shorts, suffix) = bytes.align_to_mut::<u16>();
    // less_efficient_algorithm_for_bytes(prefix);
    // more_efficient_algorithm_for_aligned_shorts(shorts);
    // less_efficient_algorithm_for_bytes(suffix);
}

pub fn as_simd<const LANES: usize>(&self) -> (&[T], &[Simd<T, LANES>], &[T])

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (portable_simd)

Splits a slice into a prefix, a middle of aligned SIMD types, and a suffix.

This is a safe wrapper around slice::align_to, so inherits the same guarantees as that method.

§Panics

This will panic if the size of the SIMD type is different from LANES times that of the scalar.

At the time of writing, the trait restrictions on Simd<T, LANES> keeps that from ever happening, as only power-of-two numbers of lanes are supported. It’s possible that, in the future, those restrictions might be lifted in a way that would make it possible to see panics from this method for something like LANES == 3.

§Examples
#![feature(portable_simd)]
use core::simd::prelude::*;

let short = &[1, 2, 3];
let (prefix, middle, suffix) = short.as_simd::<4>();
assert_eq!(middle, []); // Not enough elements for anything in the middle

// They might be split in any possible way between prefix and suffix
let it = prefix.iter().chain(suffix).copied();
assert_eq!(it.collect::<Vec<_>>(), vec![1, 2, 3]);

fn basic_simd_sum(x: &[f32]) -> f32 {
    use std::ops::Add;
    let (prefix, middle, suffix) = x.as_simd();
    let sums = f32x4::from_array([
        prefix.iter().copied().sum(),
        0.0,
        0.0,
        suffix.iter().copied().sum(),
    ]);
    let sums = middle.iter().copied().fold(sums, f32x4::add);
    sums.reduce_sum()
}

pub fn is_sorted(&self) -> bool
where T: PartialOrd,

Checks if the elements of this slice are sorted.

That is, for each element a and its following element b, a <= b must hold. If the slice yields exactly zero or one element, true is returned.

Note that if Self::Item is only PartialOrd, but not Ord, the above definition implies that this function returns false if any two consecutive items are not comparable.

§Examples
let empty: [i32; 0] = [];

assert!([1, 2, 2, 9].is_sorted());
assert!(![1, 3, 2, 4].is_sorted());
assert!([0].is_sorted());

Checks if the elements of this slice are sorted using the given comparator function.

Instead of using PartialOrd::partial_cmp, this function uses the given compare function to determine whether two elements are to be considered in sorted order.

§Examples
assert!([1, 2, 2, 9].is_sorted_by(|a, b| a <= b));
assert!(![1, 2, 2, 9].is_sorted_by(|a, b| a < b));

assert!([0].is_sorted_by(|a, b| true));
assert!([0].is_sorted_by(|a, b| false));

Checks if the elements of this slice are sorted using the given key extraction function.

Instead of comparing the slice’s elements directly, this function compares the keys of the elements, as determined by f. Apart from that, it’s equivalent to is_sorted; see its documentation for more information.

pub fn partition_point<P>(&self, pred: P) -> usize
where P: FnMut(&T) -> bool,

Returns the index of the partition point according to the given predicate (the index of the first element of the second partition).

The slice is assumed to be partitioned according to the given predicate. This means that all elements for which the predicate returns true are at the start of the slice and all elements for which the predicate returns false are at the end. For example, [7, 15, 3, 5, 4, 12, 6] is partitioned under the predicate x % 2 != 0 (all odd numbers are at the start, all even at the end).

If this slice is not partitioned, the returned result is unspecified and meaningless, as this method performs a kind of binary search.

See also binary_search, binary_search_by, and binary_search_by_key.

§Examples
let v = [1, 2, 3, 3, 5, 6, 7];
let i = v.partition_point(|&x| x < 5);

assert_eq!(i, 4);
assert!(v[..i].iter().all(|&x| x < 5));
assert!(v[i..].iter().all(|&x| !(x < 5)));

If all elements of the slice match the predicate, including if the slice is empty, then the length of the slice will be returned:

let a = [2, 4, 8];
assert_eq!(a.partition_point(|x| x < &100), a.len());
let a: [i32; 0] = [];
assert_eq!(a.partition_point(|x| x < &100), 0);

If you want to insert an item to a sorted vector, while maintaining sort order:

let mut s = vec![0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55];
let num = 42;
let idx = s.partition_point(|&x| x <= num);
s.insert(idx, num);
assert_eq!(s, [0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 42, 55]);

pub unsafe fn get_many_unchecked_mut<I, const N: usize>( &mut self, indices: [I; N], ) -> [&mut <I as SliceIndex<[T]>>::Output; N]

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (get_many_mut)

Returns mutable references to many indices at once, without doing any checks.

An index can be either a usize, a Range or a RangeInclusive. Note that this method takes an array, so all indices must be of the same type. If passed an array of usizes this method gives back an array of mutable references to single elements, while if passed an array of ranges it gives back an array of mutable references to slices.

For a safe alternative see get_many_mut.

§Safety

Calling this method with overlapping or out-of-bounds indices is undefined behavior even if the resulting references are not used.

§Examples
#![feature(get_many_mut)]

unsafe {
    let [a, b] = x.get_many_unchecked_mut([0, 2]);

    let [a, b] = x.get_many_unchecked_mut([1..=2, 0..=0]);
    a[0] = 11;
    a[1] = 111;
    b[0] = 1;

pub fn get_many_mut<I, const N: usize>( &mut self, indices: [I; N], ) -> Result<[&mut <I as SliceIndex<[T]>>::Output; N], GetManyMutError>

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (get_many_mut)

Returns mutable references to many indices at once.

An index can be either a usize, a Range or a RangeInclusive. Note that this method takes an array, so all indices must be of the same type. If passed an array of usizes this method gives back an array of mutable references to single elements, while if passed an array of ranges it gives back an array of mutable references to slices.

Returns an error if any index is out-of-bounds, or if there are overlapping indices. An empty range is not considered to overlap if it is located at the beginning or at the end of another range, but is considered to overlap if it is located in the middle.

This method does a O(n^2) check to check that there are no overlapping indices, so be careful when passing many indices.

§Examples
#![feature(get_many_mut)]

let v = &mut [1, 2, 3];
if let Ok([a, b]) = v.get_many_mut([0, 2]) {
    *a = 413;

    b[0] = 88;
    b[1] = 888;
}

pub fn elem_offset(&self, element: &T) -> Option<usize>

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (substr_range)

Returns the index that an element reference points to.

Returns None if element does not point within the slice or if it points between elements.

This method is useful for extending slice iterators like slice::split.

Note that this uses pointer arithmetic and does not compare elements. To find the index of an element via comparison, use .iter().position() instead.

§Panics

Panics if T is zero-sized.

§Examples

Basic usage:

#![feature(substr_range)]

let nums: &[u32] = &[1, 7, 1, 1];
let num = &nums[2];

assert_eq!(num, &1);
assert_eq!(nums.elem_offset(num), Some(2));

Returning None with an in-between element:

#![feature(substr_range)]

let arr: &[[u32; 2]] = &[[0, 1], [2, 3]];
let flat_arr: &[u32] = arr.as_flattened();

let ok_elm: &[u32; 2] = flat_arr[0..2].try_into().unwrap();
let weird_elm: &[u32; 2] = flat_arr[1..3].try_into().unwrap();

assert_eq!(ok_elm, &[0, 1]);
assert_eq!(weird_elm, &[1, 2]);

assert_eq!(arr.elem_offset(ok_elm), Some(0)); // Points to element 0
assert_eq!(arr.elem_offset(weird_elm), None); // Points between element 0 and 1
Source

pub fn subslice_range(&self, subslice: &[T]) -> Option<Range<usize>>

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (substr_range)

Returns the range of indices that a subslice points to.

Returns None if subslice does not point within the slice or if it points between elements.

This method does not compare elements. Instead, this method finds the location in the slice that subslice was obtained from. To find the index of a subslice via comparison, instead use .windows().position().

This method is useful for extending slice iterators like slice::split.

Note that this may return a false positive (either Some(0..0) or Some(self.len()..self.len())) if subslice has a length of zero and points to the beginning or end of another, separate, slice.

§Panics

Panics if T is zero-sized.

§Examples

Basic usage:

#![feature(substr_range)]

let nums = &[0, 5, 10, 0, 0, 5];

let mut iter = nums

pub fn sort(&mut self)
where T: Ord,

Sorts the slice, preserving initial order of equal elements.

This sort is stable (i.e., does not reorder equal elements) and O(n * log(n)) worst-case.

If the implementation of Ord for T does not implement a total order, the function may panic; even if the function exits normally, the resulting order of elements in the slice is unspecified. See also the note on panicking below.

When applicable, unstable sorting is preferred because it is generally faster than stable sorting and it doesn’t allocate auxiliary memory. See sort_unstable. The exception are partially sorted slices, which may be better served with slice::sort.

Sorting types that only implement PartialOrd such as f32 and f64 require additional precautions. For example, f32::NAN != f32::NAN, which doesn’t fulfill the reflexivity requirement of Ord. By using an alternative comparison function with slice::sort_by such as f32::total_cmp or f64::total_cmp that defines a total order users can sort slices containing floating-point values. Alternatively, if all values in the slice are guaranteed to be in a subset for which PartialOrd::partial_cmp forms a total order, it’s possible to sort the slice with sort_by(|a, b| a.partial_cmp(b).unwrap()).

§Current implementation

The current implementation is based on driftsort by Orson Peters and Lukas Bergdoll, which combines the fast average case of quicksort with the fast worst case and partial run detection of mergesort, achieving linear time on fully sorted and reversed inputs. On inputs with k distinct elements, the expected time to sort the data is O(n * log(k)).

The auxiliary memory allocation behavior depends on the input length. Short slices are handled without allocation, medium sized slices allocate self.len() and beyond that it clamps at self.len() / 2.

§Panics

May panic if the implementation of Ord for T does not implement a total order, or if the Ord implementation itself panics.

All safe functions on slices preserve the invariant that even if the function panics, all original elements will remain in the slice and any possible modifications via interior mutability are observed in the input. This ensures that recovery code (for instance inside of a Drop or following a catch_unwind) will still have access to all the original elements. For instance, if the slice belongs to a Vec, the Vec::drop method will be able to dispose of all contained elements.

§Examples
let mut v = [4, -5, 1, -3, 2];

v.sort();
assert_eq!(v, [-5, -3, 1, 2, 4]);

pub fn sort_by<F>(&mut self, compare: F)
where F: FnMut(&T, &T) -> Ordering,

Sorts the slice with a comparison function, preserving initial order of equal elements.

This sort is stable (i.e., does not reorder equal elements) and O(n * log(n)) worst-case.

If the comparison function compare does not implement a total order, the function may panic; even if the function exits normally, the resulting order of elements in the slice is unspecified. See also the note on panicking below.

For example |a, b| (a - b).cmp(a) is a comparison function that is neither transitive nor reflexive nor total, a < b < c < a with a = 1, b = 2, c = 3. For more information and examples see the Ord documentation.

§Current implementation

The current implementation is based on driftsort by Orson Peters and Lukas Bergdoll, which combines the fast average case of quicksort with the fast worst case and partial run detection of mergesort, achieving linear time on fully sorted and reversed inputs. On inputs with k distinct elements, the expected time to sort the data is O(n * log(k)).

The auxiliary memory allocation behavior depends on the input length. Short slices are handled without allocation, medium sized slices allocate self.len() and beyond that it clamps at self.len() / 2.

§Panics

May panic if compare does not implement a total order, or if compare itself panics.

All safe functions on slices preserve the invariant that even if the function panics, all original elements will remain in the slice and any possible modifications via interior mutability are observed in the input. This ensures that recovery code (for instance inside of a Drop or following a catch_unwind) will still have access to all the original elements. For instance, if the slice belongs to a Vec, the Vec::drop method will be able to dispose of all contained elements.

§Examples
let mut v = [4, -5, 1, -3, 2];
v.sort_by(|a, b| a.cmp(b));
assert_eq!(v, [-5, -3, 1, 2, 4]);

// reverse sorting
v.sort_by(|a, b| b.cmp(a));
assert_eq!(v, [4, 2, 1, -3, -5]);

pub fn sort_by_key<K, F>(&mut self, f: F)
where F: FnMut(&T) -> K, K: Ord,

Sorts the slice with a key extraction function, preserving initial order of equal elements.

This sort is stable (i.e., does not reorder equal elements) and O(m * n * log(n)) worst-case, where the key function is O(m).

If the implementation of Ord for K does not implement a total order, the function may panic; even if the function exits normally, the resulting order of elements in the slice is unspecified. See also the note on panicking below.

pub fn sort_by_cached_key<K, F>(&mut self, f: F)
where F: FnMut(&T) -> K, K: Ord,

Sorts the slice with a key extraction function, preserving initial order of equal elements.

This sort is stable (i.e., does not reorder equal elements) and O(m * n + n * log(n)) worst-case, where the key function is O(m).

During sorting, the key function is called at most once per element, by using temporary storage to remember the results of key evaluation. The order of calls to the key function is unspecified and may change in future versions of the standard library.

If the implementation of Ord for K does not implement a total order, the function may panic; even if the function exits normally, the resulting order of elements in the slice is unspecified. See also the note on panicking below.

For simple key functions (e.g., functions that are property accesses or basic operations), sort_by_key is likely to be faster.

§Current implementation

The current implementation is based on instruction-parallel-network sort by Lukas Bergdoll, which combines the fast average case of randomized quicksort with the fast worst case of heapsort, while achieving linear time on fully sorted and reversed inputs. And O(k * log(n)) where k is the number of distinct elements in the input. It leverages superscalar out-of-order execution capabilities commonly found in CPUs, to efficiently perform the operation.

In the worst case, the algorithm allocates temporary storage in a Vec<(K, usize)> the length of the slice.

§Panics

May panic if the implementation of Ord for K does not implement a total order, or if the Ord implementation panics.

All safe functions on slices preserve the invariant that even if the function panics, all original elements will remain in the slice and any possible modifications via interior mutability are observed in the input. This ensures that recovery code (for instance inside of a Drop or following a catch_unwind) will still have access to all the original elements. For instance, if the slice belongs to a Vec, the Vec::drop method will be able to dispose of all contained elements.

§Examples
let mut v = [4i32, -5, 1, -3, 2, 10];

// Strings are sorted by lexicographical order.
v.sort_by_cached_key(|k| k.to_string());
assert_eq!(v, [-3, -5, 1, 10, 2, 4]);
