Module `marker`

Primitive traits and types representing basic properties of types.

Rust types can be classified in various useful ways according to their intrinsic properties. These classifications are represented as traits.

Structs

PhantomContravariant Zero-sized type used to mark a type parameter as contravariant.
PhantomContravariantLifetime Zero-sized type used to mark a lifetime as contravariant.
PhantomCovariant Zero-sized type used to mark a type parameter as covariant.
PhantomCovariantLifetime Zero-sized type used to mark a lifetime as covariant.
PhantomData Zero-sized type used to mark things that "act like" they own a T.
PhantomInvariant Zero-sized type used to mark a type parameter as invariant.
PhantomInvariantLifetime Zero-sized type used to mark a lifetime as invariant.
PhantomPinned A marker type which does not implement Unpin.

Traits

ConstParamTy_ A marker for types which can be used as types of const generic parameters.
Copy Types whose values can be duplicated simply by copying bits.
Destruct A marker for types that can be dropped.
DiscriminantKind Compiler-internal trait used to indicate the type of enum discriminants.
FnPtr A common trait implemented by all function pointers.
Freeze Used to determine whether a type contains any UnsafeCell internally, but not through an indirection. This affects, for example, whether a static of that type is placed in read-only static memory or writable static memory. This can be used to declare that a constant with a generic type will not contain interior mutability, and subsequently allow placing the constant behind references.
MetaSized Types with a size that can be determined from pointer metadata.
PointeeSized Types that may or may not have a size.
Send Types that can be transferred across thread boundaries.
Sized Types with a constant size known at compile time.
StructuralPartialEq Required trait for constants used in pattern matches.
Sync Types for which it is safe to share references between threads.
Tuple A marker for tuple types.
Unpin Types that do not require any pinning guarantees.
UnsafeUnpin Used to determine whether a type contains any UnsafePinned (or PhantomPinned) internally, but not through an indirection. This affects, for example, whether we emit noalias metadata for &mut T or not.
Unsize Types that can be "unsized" to a dynamically-sized type.
Variance A marker trait for phantom variance types.

Functions

variance Construct a variance marker; equivalent to Default::default.

Macros

CoercePointee Derive macro that makes a smart pointer usable with trait objects.
ConstParamTy Derive macro generating an impl of the trait ConstParamTy.
Copy Derive macro generating an impl of the trait Copy.
