Enum bevy::utils::CowArc

pub enum CowArc<'a, T>where
    T: 'static + ?Sized,{
    Borrowed(&'a T),
    Static(&'static T),
    Owned(Arc<T, Global>),
}

Much like a Cow, but owned values are Arc-ed to make clones cheap. This should be used for values that are cloned for use across threads and change rarely (if ever).

This also makes an opinionated tradeoff by adding a CowArc::Static and implementing [From<&'static T>] instead of [From<'a T>]. This preserves the static context and prevents conversion to CowArc::Owned in cases where a reference is known to be static. This is an optimization that prevents allocations and atomic ref-counting.

This means that static references should prefer From::from or CowArc::Static and non-static references must use CowArc::Borrowed.

Variants

Borrowed(&'a T)

A borrowed value

Static(&'static T)

A static value reference. This exists to avoid conversion to CowArc::Owned in cases where a reference is known to be static. This is an optimization that prevents allocations and atomic ref-counting.

Owned(Arc<T, Global>)

An owned Arc-ed value

Implementations

impl<'a, T> CowArc<'a, T>where &'a T: Into<Arc<T, Global>>, T: ?Sized,

pub fn into_owned(self) -> CowArc<'static, T>

Converts this into an “owned” value. If internally a value is borrowed, it will be cloned into an “owned Arc”. If it is already a CowArc::Owned or a CowArc::Static, it will remain unchanged.

pub fn clone_owned(&self) -> CowArc<'static, T>

Clones into an owned [CowArc<'static>]. If internally a value is borrowed, it will be cloned into an “owned Arc”. If it is already a CowArc::Owned or CowArc::Static, the value will be cloned. This is equivalent to .clone().into_owned().
