Function core::mem::dropped [] [src]

pub unsafe fn dropped<T>() -> T
Unstable

Creates a value initialized to an unspecified series of bytes.

The byte sequence usually indicates that the value at the memory in question has been dropped. Thus, if T carries a drop flag, any associated destructor will not be run when the value falls out of scope.

Some code at one time used the zeroed`zeroed` function above to accomplish this goal.

This function is expected to be deprecated with the transition to non-zeroing drop.
