Expand description
A managed map.
This enum can be used to represent exclusive access to maps. In Rust, exclusive access to an object is obtained by either owning the object, or owning a mutable pointer to the object; hence, “managed”.
The purpose of this enum is providing good ergonomics with std
present while making
it possible to avoid having a heap at all (which of course means that std
is not present).
To achieve this, the variants other than Borrow
are only available when the corresponding
feature is opted in.
Unlike Managed and ManagedSlice, the managed map is implemented using a B-tree map when allocation is available, and a sorted slice of key-value pairs when it is not. Thus, algorithmic complexity of operations on it depends on the kind of map.
A function that requires a managed object should be generic over an Into<ManagedMap<'a, T>>
argument; then, it will be possible to pass either a Vec<T>
, or a &'a mut [T]
without any conversion at the call site.
See also Managed.
Variants§
Borrowed(&'a mut [Option<(K, V)>])
Borrowed variant.
Owned(BTreeMap<K, V>)
Owned variant, only available with the std
or alloc
feature enabled.
