pub struct OnceCell<T> { /* private fields */ }
Expand description
A cell which can nominally be written to only once.
This allows obtaining a shared &T
reference to its inner value without copying or replacing
it (unlike Cell
), and without runtime borrow checks (unlike RefCell
). However,
only immutable references can be obtained unless one has a mutable reference to the cell
itself. In the same vein, the cell can only be re-initialized with such a mutable reference.
A OnceCell
can be thought of as a safe abstraction over uninitialized data that becomes
initialized once written.
For a thread-safe version of this struct, see std::sync::OnceLock
.

Gets the reference to the underlying value.
Returns None
if the cell is uninitialized.

pub fn get_mut(&mut self) -> Option<&mut T>
Gets the mutable reference to the underlying value.
Returns None
if the cell is uninitialized.

once_cell_try
#109737)Gets the contents of the cell, initializing it to f()
if
the cell was uninitialized. If the cell was uninitialized
and f()
failed, an error is returned.
§Panics
If f()
panics, the panic is propagated to the caller, and the cell
remains uninitialized.
It is an error to reentrantly initialize the cell from f
. Doing
so results in a panic.
