For example, /// a program can create a reference cycle using [`Rc`][rc], or call /// [`process::exit`][exit] to exit without running destructors. Thus, allowing /// `mem::forget` from safe code does not fundamentally change Rust's safety /// guarantees. /// /// That said, leaking resources such as memory or I/O objects is usually undesirable. /// The need comes up in some specialized use cases for FFI or unsafe code, but even /// then, [`ManuallyDrop`] is typically preferred. /// /// Because forgetting a value is allowed, any `unsafe` code you write must /// allow for this possibility. You cannot return a value and expect that the /// caller will necessarily run the value's destructor. /// /// [rc]: ../../std/rc/struct.Rc.html /// [exit]: ../../std/process/fn.exit.html /// /// # Examples /// /// The canonical safe use of `mem::forget` is to circumvent a value's destructor /// implemented by the `Drop` trait. For example, this will leak a `File`, i.e. reclaim /// the space taken by the variable but never close the underlying system resource: /// /// ```no_run /// use std::mem; /// use std::fs::File; /// /// let file = File::open("foo.txt").unwrap(); /// mem::forget(file); /// ``` /// /// This is useful when the ownership of the underlying resource was previously /// transferred to code outside of Rust, for example by transmitting the raw /// file descriptor to C code. /// /// # Relationship with `ManuallyDrop` /// /// While `mem::forget` can also be used to transfer *memory* ownership, doing so is error-prone. /// [`ManuallyDrop`] should be used instead. Consider, for example, this code: /// /// ``` /// use std::mem; /// /// let mut v = vec![65, 122]; /// // Build a `String` using the contents of `v` /// let s = unsafe { String::from_raw_parts(v.as_mut_ptr(), v.len(), v.capacity()) }; /// // leak `v` because its memory is now managed by `s` /// mem::forget(v); // ERROR - v is invalid and must not be passed to a function /// assert_eq!(s, "Az"); /// // `s` is implicitly dropped and its memory deallocated. /// ``` /// /// There are two issues with the above example: /// /// * If more code were added between the construction of `String` and the invocation of /// `mem::forget()`, a panic within it would cause a double free because the same memory /// is handled by both `v` and `s`. /// * After calling `v.as_mut_ptr()` and transmitting the ownership of the data to `s`, /// the `v` value is invalid. Even when a value is just moved to `mem::forget` (which won't /// inspect it), some types have strict requirements on their values that /// make them invalid when dangling or no longer owned. Using invalid values in any /// way, including passing them to or returning them from functions, constitutes /// undefined behavior and may break the assumptions made by the compiler. /// /// Switching to `ManuallyDrop` avoids both issues: /// /// ``` /// use std::mem::ManuallyDrop; /// /// let v = vec![65, 122]; /// // Before we disassemble `v` into its raw parts, make sure it /// // does not get dropped! /// let mut v = ManuallyDrop::new(v); /// // Now disassemble `v`. These operations cannot panic, so there cannot be a leak. /// let (ptr, len, cap) = (v.as_mut_ptr(), v.len(), v.capacity()); /// // Finally, build a `String`. /// let s = unsafe { String::from_raw_parts(ptr, len, cap) }; /// assert_eq!(s, "Az"); /// // `s` is implicitly dropped and its memory deallocated. /// ``` /// /// `ManuallyDrop` robustly prevents double-free because we disable `v`'s destructor /// before doing anything else. `mem::forget()` doesn't allow this because it consumes its /// argument, forcing us to call it only after extracting anything we need from `v`. Even /// if a panic were introduced between construction of `ManuallyDrop` and building the /// string (which cannot happen in the code as shown), it would result in a leak and not a /// double free. In other words, `ManuallyDrop` errs on the side of leaking instead of /// erring on the side of (double-)dropping. /// /// Also, `ManuallyDrop` prevents us from having to "touch" `v` after transferring the /// ownership to `s` — the final step of interacting with `v` to dispose of it without /// running its destructor is entirely avoided. /// /// [`Box`]: ../../std/boxed/struct.Box.html /// [`Box::leak`]: ../../std/boxed/struct.Box.html#method.leak /// [`Box::into_raw`]: ../../std/boxed/struct.Box.html#method.into_raw /// [`mem::drop`]: drop /// [ub]: ../../reference/behavior-considered-undefined.html #[inline] #[rustc_const_stable(feature = "const_forget", since = "1.46.0")] #[stable(feature = "rust1", since = "1.0.0")] #[cfg_attr(not(test), rustc_diagnostic_item = "mem_forget")] pub const fn forget(t: T) { let _ = ManuallyDrop::new(t); } /// Like [`forget`], but also accepts unsized values. /// /// This function is just a shim intended to be removed when the `unsized_locals` feature gets /// stabilized. #[inline] #[unstable(feature = "forget_unsized", issue = "none")] pub fn forget_unsized(t: T) { intrinsics::forget(t) } /// Returns the size of a type in bytes. /// /// More specifically, this is the offset in bytes between successive elements /// in an array with that item type including alignment padding.
