Module value 

Values as compiled code holds them: every value fits in a 64-bit Slot.

An int is its two’s-complement bits, a float its IEEE bits, a bool 0 or 1, and a string, list or struct a pointer to a reference-counted object. Zero in a slot of one of those types means “no value yet”, and retaining or releasing it does nothing. Lists and structs share their contents until a copy is changed, so values keep value semantics.

Structs

ListObject 🔒

StringObject 🔒

StructObject 🔒

TypeDesc

A type, as a compiled program describes it. Struct types may lead back to themselves through their fields, so these form a graph of statics.

Value 🔒

A value the runtime owns, released when dropped.

Enums

TypeKind

What kind of value a TypeDesc describes; compiled programs store it as a u8.

Statics

LIST_OF_STRINGS 🔒

[string], the type of the paths a file dialog answers with and of what is dropped.

Functions

as_list 🔒

as_str 🔒

The text of a string slot that someone owns for 'a.

as_struct 🔒

borrow 🔒 ^⚠

The object a slot holds, borrowed for as long as the slot keeps it alive.

equal 🔒

Whether two values of type ty are equal, as == decides.

from_slot 🔒 ^⚠

Takes the object a slot owns.

int 🔒

int_slot 🔒

into_slot 🔒

The slot holding an object, which the slot now owns.

list_mut 🔒

Makes the list in place its only owner’s, copying it if shared, and returns it.

list_slot 🔒

A list of type ty holding items, which it takes ownership of.

pointer 🔒

release 🔒

Removes an owner from the value in slot, freeing it with its last owner.

retain 🔒

Adds an owner to the value in slot.

string_slot 🔒

strings_slot 🔒

A [string] holding texts, in order.

struct_mut 🔒

unique 🔒

write 🔒

Writes a value of type ty as it reads inside an interpolated string.

write_items 🔒
