3 //! A pointer type for heap allocation.
4 //!
5 //! [`Box<T>`], casually referred to as a 'box', provides the simplest form of
6 //! heap allocation in Rust. Boxes provide ownership for this allocation, and
7 //! drop their contents when they go out of scope. Boxes also ensure that they
8 //! never allocate more than `isize::MAX` bytes.
9 //!
10 //! # Examples
11 //!
12 //! Move a value from the stack to the heap by creating a [`Box`]:
13 //!
14 //! ```
15 //! let val: u8 = 5;
16 //! let boxed: Box<u8> = Box::new(val);
17 //! ```
18 //!
19 //! Move a value from a [`Box`] back to the stack by [dereferencing]:
20 //!
21 //! ```
22 //! let boxed: Box<u8> = Box::new(5);
23 //! let val: u8 = *boxed;
24 //! ```
25 //!
26 //! Creating a recursive data structure:
27 //!
28 //! ```
29 //! #[derive(Debug)]
30 //! enum List<T> {
31 //!     Cons(T, Box<List<T>>),
32 //!     Nil,
33 //! }
34 //!
35 //! let list: List<i32> = List::Cons(1, Box::new(List::Cons(2, Box::new(List::Nil))));
36 //! println!("{list:?}");
37 //! ```
38 //!
39 //! This will print `Cons(1, Cons(2, Nil))`.
40 //!
41 //! Recursive structures must be boxed, because if the definition of `Cons`
42 //! looked like this:
43 //!
44 //! ```compile_fail,E0072
45 //! # enum List<T> {
46 //! Cons(T, List<T>),
47 //! # }
48 //! ```
49 //!
50 //! It wouldn't work. This is because the size of a `List` depends on how many
51 //! elements are in the list, and so we don't know how much memory to allocate
52 //! for a `Cons`. By introducing a [`Box<T>`], which has a defined size, we know how
53 //! big `Cons` needs to be.
54 //!
55 //! # Memory layout
56 //!
57 //! For non-zero-sized values, a [`Box`] will use the [`Global`] allocator for
58 //! its allocation. It is valid to convert both ways between a [`Box`] and a
59 //! raw pointer allocated with the [`Global`] allocator, given that the
60 //! [`Layout`] used with the allocator is correct for the type. More precisely,
61 //! a `value: *mut T` that has been allocated with the [`Global`] allocator
62 //! with `Layout::for_value(&*value)` may be converted into a box using
63 //! [`Box::<T>::from_raw(value)`]. Conversely, the memory backing a `value: *mut
64 //! T` obtained from [`Box::<T>::into_raw`] may be deallocated using the
65 //! [`Global`] allocator with [`Layout::for_value(&*value)`].
66 //!
67 //! For zero-sized values, the `Box` pointer still has to be [valid] for reads
68 //! and writes and sufficiently aligned. In particular, casting any aligned
69 //! non-zero integer literal to a raw pointer produces a valid pointer, but a
70 //! pointer pointing into previously allocated memory that since got freed is
71 //! not valid. The recommended way to build a Box to a ZST if `Box::new` cannot
72 //! be used is to use [`ptr::NonNull::dangling`].
73 //!
74 //! So long as `T: Sized`, a `Box<T>` is guaranteed to be represented
75 //! as a single pointer and is also ABI-compatible with C pointers
76 //! (i.e. the C type `T*`). This means that if you have extern "C"
77 //! Rust functions that will be called from C, you can define those
78 //! Rust functions using `Box<T>` types, and use `T*` as corresponding
79 //! type on the C side. As an example, consider this C header which
80 //! declares functions that create and destroy some kind of `Foo`
81 //! value:
82 //!
83 //! ```c
84 //! /* C header */
85 //!
86 //! /* Returns ownership to the caller */
87 //! struct Foo* foo_new(void);
88 //!
89 //! /* Takes ownership from the caller; no-op when invoked with null */
90 //! void foo_delete(struct Foo*);
91 //! ```
92 //!
93 //! These two functions might be implemented in Rust as follows. Here, the
94 //! `struct Foo*` type from C is translated to `Box<Foo>`, which captures
95 //! the ownership constraints. Note also that the nullable argument to
96 //! `foo_delete` is represented in Rust as `Option<Box<Foo>>`, since `Box<Foo>`
97 //! cannot be null.
98 //!
99 //! ```
100 //! #[repr(C)]
101 //! pub struct Foo;
102 //!
103 //! #[no_mangle]
104 //! pub extern "C" fn foo_new() -> Box<Foo> {
105 //!     Box::new(Foo)
106 //! }
107 //!
108 //! #[no_mangle]
109 //! pub extern "C" fn foo_delete(_: Option<Box<Foo>>) {}
110 //! ```
111 //!
112 //! Even though `Box<T>` has the same representation and C ABI as a C pointer,
113 //! this does not mean that you can convert an arbitrary `T*` into a `Box<T>`
114 //! and expect things to work. `Box<T>` values will always be fully aligned,
115 //! non-null pointers. Moreover, the destructor for `Box<T>` will attempt to
116 //! free the value with the global allocator. In general, the best practice
117 //! is to only use `Box<T>` for pointers that originated from the global
118 //! allocator.
119 //!
120 //! **Important.** At least at present, you should avoid using
121 //! `Box<T>` types for functions that are defined in C but invoked
122 //! from Rust. In those cases, you should directly mirror the C types
123 //! as closely as possible. Using types like `Box<T>` where the C
124 //! definition is just using `T*` can lead to undefined behavior, as
125 //! described in [rust-lang/unsafe-code-guidelines#198][ucg#198].

1954  *
1955  *  We could have chosen not to add this impl, and instead have written a
1956  *  function of Pin<Box<T>> to Pin<T>. Such a function would not be sound,
1957  *  because Box<T> implements Unpin even when T does not, as a result of
1958  *  this impl.
1959  *
1960  *  We chose this API instead of the alternative for a few reasons:
1961  *      - Logically, it is helpful to understand pinning in regard to the
1962  *        memory region being pointed to. For this reason none of the
1963  *        standard library pointer types support projecting through a pin
1964  *        (Box<T> is the only pointer type in std for which this would be
1965  *        safe.)
1966  *      - It is in practice very useful to have Box<T> be unconditionally
1967  *        Unpin because of trait objects, for which the structural auto
1968  *        trait functionality does not apply (e.g., Box<dyn Foo> would
1969  *        otherwise not be Unpin).
1970  *
1971  *  Another type with the same semantics as Box but only a conditional
1972  *  implementation of `Unpin` (where `T: Unpin`) would be valid/safe, and
1973  *  could have a method to project a Pin<T> from it.
