Function std::intrinsics::needs_drop [−][src]
pub const extern "rust-intrinsic" fn needs_drop<T>() -> bool
🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (core_intrinsics
)
intrinsics are unlikely to ever be stabilized, instead they should be used through stabilized interfaces in the rest of the standard library
Expand description
Returns true
if the actual type given as T
requires drop
glue; returns false
if the actual type provided for T
implements Copy
.
If the actual type neither requires drop glue nor implements
Copy
, then the return value of this function is unspecified.
Note that, unlike most intrinsics, this is safe to call;
it does not require an unsafe
block.
Therefore, implementations must not require the user to uphold
any safety invariants.
The stabilized version of this intrinsic is mem::needs_drop
.
