Primitive Type reference

[−] Expand description

References, both shared and mutable.

A reference represents a borrow of some owned value. You can get one by using the & or &mut operators on a value, or by using a ref or ref mut pattern.

For those familiar with pointers, a reference is just a pointer that is assumed to not be null. In fact, Option<&T> has the same memory representation as a nullable pointer, and can be passed across FFI boundaries as such.

In most cases, references can be used much like the original value. Field access, method calling, and indexing work the same (save for mutability rules, of course). In addition, the comparison operators transparently defer to the referent's implementation, allowing references to be compared the same as owned values.

References have a lifetime attached to them, which represents the scope for which the borrow is valid. A lifetime is said to "outlive" another one if its representative scope is as long or longer than the other. The 'static lifetime is the longest lifetime, which represents the total life of the program. For example, string literals have a 'static lifetime because the text data is embedded into the binary of the program, rather than in an allocation that needs to be dynamically managed.

&mut T references can be freely coerced into &T references with the same referent type, and references with longer lifetimes can be freely coerced into references with shorter ones.

For more information on how to use references, see the book's section on "References and Borrowing".

The following traits are implemented for all &T, regardless of the type of its referent:

• Copy
• Clone (Note that this will not defer to T's Clone implementation if it exists!)
• Deref
• Borrow
• Pointer

&mut T references get all of the above except Copy and Clone (to prevent creating multiple simultaneous mutable borrows), plus the following, regardless of the type of its referent:

• DerefMut
• BorrowMut

The following traits are implemented on &T references if the underlying T also implements that trait:

• All the traits in std::fmt except Pointer and fmt::Write
• PartialOrd
• Ord
• PartialEq
• Eq
• AsRef
• Fn (in addition, &T references get FnMut and FnOnce if T: Fn)
• Hash
• ToSocketAddrs

&mut T references get all of the above except ToSocketAddrs, plus the following, if T implements that trait:

• AsMut
• FnMut (in addition, &mut T references get FnOnce if T: FnMut)
• fmt::Write
• Iterator
• DoubleEndedIterator
• ExactSizeIterator
• FusedIterator
• TrustedLen
• Send (note that &T references only get Send if T: Sync)
• io::Write
• Read
• Seek
• BufRead

Note that due to method call deref coercion, simply calling a trait method will act like they work on references as well as they do on owned values! The implementations described here are meant for generic contexts, where the final type T is a type parameter or otherwise not locally known.
