Trait floresta_common::prelude::fmt::Pointer
1.0.0 · source · pub trait Pointer {
// Required method
fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result<(), Error>;
}Expand description
p formatting.
The Pointer trait should format its output as a memory location. This is commonly presented
as hexadecimal.
For more information on formatters, see the module-level documentation.
Examples
Basic usage with &i32:
let x = &42;
let address = format!("{x:p}"); // this produces something like '0x7f06092ac6d0'Implementing Pointer on a type:
use std::fmt;
struct Length(i32);
impl fmt::Pointer for Length {
fn fmt(&self, f: &mut fmt::Formatter<'_>) -> fmt::Result {
// use `as` to convert to a `*const T`, which implements Pointer, which we can use
let ptr = self as *const Self;
fmt::Pointer::fmt(&ptr, f)
}
}
let l = Length(42);
println!("l is in memory here: {l:p}");
let l_ptr = format!("{l:018p}");
assert_eq!(l_ptr.len(), 18);
assert_eq!(&l_ptr[..2], "0x");
