### Important traits for Box<I>

`impl<I: Iterator + ?Sized> Iterator for Box<I> type Item = I::Item;`
`pub fn new(x: T) -> Box<T>`[src]

Allocates memory on the heap and then places `x` into it.

This doesn't actually allocate if `T` is zero-sized.

# Examples

    let five = Box::new(5);

#### `pub fn pin(x: T) -> Pin<Box<T>>`
1.33.0
[src]

Constructs a new `Pin<Box<T>>`. If `T` does not implement `Unpin`, then `x` will be pinned in memory and unable to be moved.

### `impl<T: ?Sized> Box<T>`[src]

#### `pub unsafe fn from_raw(raw: *mut T) -> Self`
1.4.0
[src]

Constructs a box from a raw pointer.

After calling this function, the raw pointer is owned by the resulting `Box`. Specifically, the `Box` destructor will call the destructor of `T` and free the allocated memory. Since the way `Box` allocates and releases memory is unspecified, the only valid pointer to pass to this function is the one taken from another `Box` via the `Box::into_raw` function.

This function is unsafe because improper use may lead to memory problems. For example, a double-free may occur if the function is called twice on the same raw pointer.

# Examples

    let x = Box::new(5);
    let ptr = Box::into_raw(x);
    let x = unsafe { Box::from_raw(ptr) };

#### `pub fn into_raw(b: Box<T>) -> *mut T`
1.4.0
[src]

Consumes the `Box`, returning a wrapped raw pointer.

The pointer will be properly aligned and non-null.

After calling this function, the caller is responsible for the memory previously managed by the `Box`. In particular, the caller should properly destroy `T` and release the memory. The proper way to do so is to convert the raw pointer back into a `Box` with the `Box::from_raw` function.

Note: this is an associated function, which means that you have to call it as `Box::into_raw(b)` instead of `b.into_raw()`. This is so that there is no conflict with a method on the inner type.

# Examples

    let x = Box::new(5);
    let ptr = Box::into_raw(x);

#### `pub fn into_raw_non_null(b: Box<T>) -> NonNull<T>`[src]

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (`box_into_raw_non_null` #47336)

Consumes the `Box`, returning the wrapped pointer as `NonNull<T>`.

After calling this function, the caller is responsible for the memory previously managed by the `Box`. In particular, the caller should properly destroy `T` and release the memory. The proper way to do so is to convert the `NonNull<T>` pointer into a raw pointer and back into a `Box` with the `Box::from_raw` function.

Note: this is an associated function, which means that you have to call it as `Box::into_raw_non_null(b)` instead of `b.into_raw_non_null()`. This is so that there is no conflict with a method on the inner type.

# Examples

    #![feature(box_into_raw_non_null)]

    fn main() {
        let x = Box::new(5);
        let ptr = Box::into_raw_non_null(x);
    }

#### `pub fn leak<'a>(b: Box<T>) -> &'a mut T where
T: 'a,`
1.26.0
[src]

Consumes and leaks the `Box`, returning a mutable reference, `&'a mut T`. Note that the type `T` must outlive the chosen lifetime `'a`. If the type has only static references, or none at all, then this may be chosen to be `'static`.

This function is mainly useful for data that lives for the remainder of the program's life. Dropping the returned reference will cause a memory leak. If this is not acceptable, the reference should first be wrapped with the `Box::from_raw` function producing a `Box`. This `Box` can then be dropped which will properly destroy `T` and release the allocated memory.

Note: this is an associated function, which means that you have to call it as `Box::leak(b)` instead of `b.leak()`. This is so that there is no conflict with a method on the inner type.

# Examples

Simple usage:

    fn main() {
        let x = Box::new(41);
        let static_ref: &'static mut usize = Box::leak(x);
        *static_ref += 1;
        assert_eq!(*static_ref, 42);
    }

Unsized data:

    fn main() {
        let x = vec![1, 2, 3].into_boxed_slice();
        let static_ref = Box::leak(x);
        static_ref[0] = 4;
        assert_eq!(*static_ref, [4, 2, 3]);
    }

#### `pub fn into_pin(boxed: Box<T>) -> Pin<Box<T>>`[src]

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (`box_into_pin` #0)

Converts a `Box<T>` into a `Pin<Box<T>>`

This conversion does not allocate on the heap and happens in place.

This is also available via `From`.

### `impl Box<dyn Any>`[src]

#### `pub fn downcast<T: Any>(self) -> Result<Box<T>, Box<dyn Any>>`[src]

Attempt to downcast the box to a concrete type.

# Examples

    use std::any::Any;

    fn print_if_string(value: Box<dyn Any>) {
        if let Ok(string) = value.downcast::<String>() {
            println!("String ({}): {}", string.len(), string);
        }
    }

    fn main() {
        let my_string = "Hello World".to_string();
        print_if_string(Box::new(my_string));
        print_if_string(Box::new(0i8));
    }

### `impl Box<dyn Any + Send>`[src]

#### `pub fn downcast<T: Any>(self) -> Result<Box<T>, Box<dyn Any + Send>>`[src]

Attempt to downcast the box to a concrete type.

# Examples

    use std::any::Any;

    fn print_if_string(value: Box<dyn Any + Send>) {
        if let Ok(string) = value.downcast::<String>() {
            println!("String ({}): {}", string.len(), string);
        }
    }

    fn main() {
        let my_string = "Hello World".to_string();
        print_if_string(Box::new(my_string));
        print_if_string(Box::new(0i8));
    }

## Search Tricks

Prefix searches with a type followed by a colon (e.g., `fn:`) to restrict the search to a given type.

Accepted types are: `fn`, `mod`, `struct`, `enum`, `trait`, `type`, `macro`, and `const`.

Search functions by type signature (e.g., `vec -> usize` or `* -> vec`)

Search multiple things at once by splitting your query with comma (e.g., `str,u8` or `String,struct:Vec,test`)
