alloc/boxed.rs
1//! The `Box<T>` type for heap allocation.
2//!
3//! [`Box<T>`], casually referred to as a 'box', provides the simplest form of
4//! heap allocation in Rust. Boxes provide ownership for this allocation, and
5//! drop their contents when they go out of scope. Boxes also ensure that they
6//! never allocate more than `isize::MAX` bytes.
7//!
8//! # Examples
9//!
10//! Move a value from the stack to the heap by creating a [`Box`]:
11//!
12//! ```
13//! let val: u8 = 5;
14//! let boxed: Box<u8> = Box::new(val);
15//! ```
16//!
17//! Move a value from a [`Box`] back to the stack by [dereferencing]:
18//!
19//! ```
20//! let boxed: Box<u8> = Box::new(5);
21//! let val: u8 = *boxed;
22//! ```
23//!
24//! Creating a recursive data structure:
25//!
26//! ```
27//! # #[allow(dead_code)]
28//! #[derive(Debug)]
29//! enum List<T> {
30//! Cons(T, Box<List<T>>),
31//! Nil,
32//! }
33//!
34//! let list: List<i32> = List::Cons(1, Box::new(List::Cons(2, Box::new(List::Nil))));
35//! println!("{list:?}");
36//! ```
37//!
38//! This will print `Cons(1, Cons(2, Nil))`.
39//!
40//! Recursive structures must be boxed, because if the definition of `Cons`
41//! looked like this:
42//!
43//! ```compile_fail,E0072
44//! # enum List<T> {
45//! Cons(T, List<T>),
46//! # }
47//! ```
48//!
49//! It wouldn't work. This is because the size of a `List` depends on how many
50//! elements are in the list, and so we don't know how much memory to allocate
51//! for a `Cons`. By introducing a [`Box<T>`], which has a defined size, we know how
52//! big `Cons` needs to be.
53//!
54//! # Memory layout
55//!
56//! For non-zero-sized values, a [`Box`] will use the [`Global`] allocator for its allocation. It is
57//! valid to convert both ways between a [`Box`] and a raw pointer allocated with the [`Global`]
58//! allocator, given that the [`Layout`] used with the allocator is correct for the type and the raw
59//! pointer points to a valid value of the right type. More precisely, a `value: *mut T` that has
60//! been allocated with the [`Global`] allocator with `Layout::for_value(&*value)` may be converted
61//! into a box using [`Box::<T>::from_raw(value)`]. Conversely, the memory backing a `value: *mut T`
62//! obtained from [`Box::<T>::into_raw`] may be deallocated using the [`Global`] allocator with
63//! [`Layout::for_value(&*value)`].
64//!
65//! For zero-sized values, the `Box` pointer has to be non-null and sufficiently aligned. The
66//! recommended way to build a Box to a ZST if `Box::new` cannot be used is to use
67//! [`ptr::NonNull::dangling`].
68//!
69//! On top of these basic layout requirements, a `Box<T>` must point to a valid value of `T`.
70//!
71//! So long as `T: Sized`, a `Box<T>` is guaranteed to be represented
72//! as a single pointer and is also ABI-compatible with C pointers
73//! (i.e. the C type `T*`). This means that if you have extern "C"
74//! Rust functions that will be called from C, you can define those
75//! Rust functions using `Box<T>` types, and use `T*` as corresponding
76//! type on the C side. As an example, consider this C header which
77//! declares functions that create and destroy some kind of `Foo`
78//! value:
79//!
80//! ```c
81//! /* C header */
82//!
83//! /* Returns ownership to the caller */
84//! struct Foo* foo_new(void);
85//!
86//! /* Takes ownership from the caller; no-op when invoked with null */
87//! void foo_delete(struct Foo*);
88//! ```
89//!
90//! These two functions might be implemented in Rust as follows. Here, the
91//! `struct Foo*` type from C is translated to `Box<Foo>`, which captures
92//! the ownership constraints. Note also that the nullable argument to
93//! `foo_delete` is represented in Rust as `Option<Box<Foo>>`, since `Box<Foo>`
94//! cannot be null.
95//!
96//! ```
97//! #[repr(C)]
98//! pub struct Foo;
99//!
100//! #[unsafe(no_mangle)]
101//! pub extern "C" fn foo_new() -> Box<Foo> {
102//! Box::new(Foo)
103//! }
104//!
105//! #[unsafe(no_mangle)]
106//! pub extern "C" fn foo_delete(_: Option<Box<Foo>>) {}
107//! ```
108//!
109//! Even though `Box<T>` has the same representation and C ABI as a C pointer,
110//! this does not mean that you can convert an arbitrary `T*` into a `Box<T>`
111//! and expect things to work. `Box<T>` values will always be fully aligned,
112//! non-null pointers. Moreover, the destructor for `Box<T>` will attempt to
113//! free the value with the global allocator. In general, the best practice
114//! is to only use `Box<T>` for pointers that originated from the global
115//! allocator.
116//!
117//! **Important.** At least at present, you should avoid using
118//! `Box<T>` types for functions that are defined in C but invoked
119//! from Rust. In those cases, you should directly mirror the C types
120//! as closely as possible. Using types like `Box<T>` where the C
121//! definition is just using `T*` can lead to undefined behavior, as
122//! described in [rust-lang/unsafe-code-guidelines#198][ucg#198].
123//!
124//! # Considerations for unsafe code
125//!
126//! **Warning: This section is not normative and is subject to change, possibly
127//! being relaxed in the future! It is a simplified summary of the rules
128//! currently implemented in the compiler.**
129//!
130//! The aliasing rules for `Box<T>` are the same as for `&mut T`. `Box<T>`
131//! asserts uniqueness over its content. Using raw pointers derived from a box
132//! after that box has been mutated through, moved or borrowed as `&mut T`
133//! is not allowed. For more guidance on working with box from unsafe code, see
134//! [rust-lang/unsafe-code-guidelines#326][ucg#326].
135//!
136//! # Editions
137//!
138//! A special case exists for the implementation of `IntoIterator` for arrays on the Rust 2021
139//! edition, as documented [here][array]. Unfortunately, it was later found that a similar
140//! workaround should be added for boxed slices, and this was applied in the 2024 edition.
141//!
142//! Specifically, `IntoIterator` is implemented for `Box<[T]>` on all editions, but specific calls
143//! to `into_iter()` for boxed slices will defer to the slice implementation on editions before
144//! 2024:
145//!
146//! ```rust,edition2021
147//! // Rust 2015, 2018, and 2021:
148//!
149//! # #![allow(boxed_slice_into_iter)] // override our `deny(warnings)`
150//! let boxed_slice: Box<[i32]> = vec![0; 3].into_boxed_slice();
151//!
152//! // This creates a slice iterator, producing references to each value.
153//! for item in boxed_slice.into_iter().enumerate() {
154//! let (i, x): (usize, &i32) = item;
155//! println!("boxed_slice[{i}] = {x}");
156//! }
157//!
158//! // The `boxed_slice_into_iter` lint suggests this change for future compatibility:
159//! for item in boxed_slice.iter().enumerate() {
160//! let (i, x): (usize, &i32) = item;
161//! println!("boxed_slice[{i}] = {x}");
162//! }
163//!
164//! // You can explicitly iterate a boxed slice by value using `IntoIterator::into_iter`
165//! for item in IntoIterator::into_iter(boxed_slice).enumerate() {
166//! let (i, x): (usize, i32) = item;
167//! println!("boxed_slice[{i}] = {x}");
168//! }
169//! ```
170//!
171//! Similar to the array implementation, this may be modified in the future to remove this override,
172//! and it's best to avoid relying on this edition-dependent behavior if you wish to preserve
173//! compatibility with future versions of the compiler.

2347 *
2348 * We could have chosen not to add this impl, and instead have written a

2350 * because Box<T> implements Unpin even when T does not, as a result of
2351 * this impl.
2352 *
2353 * We chose this API instead of the alternative for a few reasons:
2354 * - Logically, it is helpful to understand pinning in regard to the
2355 * memory region being pointed to. For this reason none of the
2356 * standard library pointer types support projecting through a pin
2357 * (Box<T> is the only pointer type in std for which this would be
2358 * safe.)
2359 * - It is in practice very useful to have Box<T> be unconditionally
2360 * Unpin because of trait objects, for which the structural auto
2361 * trait functionality does not apply (e.g., Box<dyn Foo> would
2362 * otherwise not be Unpin).
2363 *
2364 * Another type with the same semantics as Box but only a conditional
2365 * implementation of `Unpin` (where `T: Unpin`) would be valid/safe, and
2366 * could have a method to project a Pin<T> from it.
