Struct std::any::TypeId1.0.0 [] [src]

pub struct TypeId { /* fields omitted */ }

A TypeId represents a globally unique identifier for a type.

Each TypeId is an opaque object which does not allow inspection of what's inside but does allow basic operations such as cloning, comparison, printing, and showing.

A TypeId is currently only available for types which ascribe to 'static, but this limitation may be removed in the future.

Methods

impl TypeId

Returns the TypeId of the type this generic function has been instantiated with.

Examples

#![feature(get_type_id)] use std::any::{Any, TypeId}; fn is_string(s: &Any) -> bool { TypeId::of::<String>() == s.get_type_id() } fn main() { assert_eq!(is_string(&0), false); assert_eq!(is_string(&"cookie monster".to_owned()), true); }
#![feature(get_type_id)]

use std::any::{Any, TypeId};

fn is_string(s: &Any) -> bool {
    TypeId::of::<String>() == s.get_type_id()
}

fn main() {
    assert_eq!(is_string(&0), false);
    assert_eq!(is_string(&"cookie monster".to_owned()), true);
}Run
