Rust Container Cheat Sheet
(programming.dev)
Nice sheet, though I have a few critiques:
where T: Sized
for references &T
? A reference can definitely point to an unsized type, e.g. &str
.&T
, &[T]
and &dyn Trait
) may either point to the stack or the heap.
- Why does it say
where T: Sized
for references&T
? A reference can definitely point to an unsized type, e.g.&str
.
I think the point being made is that the layout shown only applies for Sized
T
. Layouts for &[T]
and &dyn Trait
are shown elsewhere on the sheet. &str
is noted under &[T]
.
Edit: although, similar considerations would apply to other pointer types, but that isn't noted on the sheet except for Box<[T]>
Because when T
is !Sized
, the layout is different, it looks more like the layout of &[T]
.
This is outdatded. Mutexes don't allocate anymore. That's how Mutex::new
can be const.
