## BorrowKind

# Enum BorrowKind

Source

    pub enum BorrowKind {
        Immutable,
        UniqueImmutable,
        Mutable,
    }

## Variants§

§

### Immutable

Data must be immutable and is aliasable.

§

### UniqueImmutable

Data must be immutable but not aliasable. This kind of borrow cannot currently be expressed by the user and is used only in implicit closure bindings. It is needed when the closure is borrowing or mutating a mutable referent, e.g.:

    let mut z = 3;
    let x: &mut isize = &mut z;
    let y = || *x += 5;

If we were to try to translate this closure into a more explicit form, we’d encounter an error with the code as written:

ⓘ

    struct Env<'a> { x: &'a &'a mut isize }
    let mut z = 3;
    let x: &mut isize = &mut z;
    let y = (&mut Env { x: &x }, fn_ptr);  // Closure is pair of env and fn
    fn fn_ptr(env: &mut Env) { **env.x += 5; }

This is then illegal because you cannot mutate a `&mut` found in an aliasable location. To solve, you’d have to translate with an `&mut` borrow:

ⓘ

    struct Env<'a> { x: &'a mut &'a mut isize }
    let mut z = 3;
    let x: &mut isize = &mut z;
    let y = (&mut Env { x: &mut x }, fn_ptr); // changed from &x to &mut x
    fn fn_ptr(env: &mut Env) { **env.x += 5; }

Now the assignment to `**env.x` is legal, but creating a mutable pointer to `x` is not because `x` is not mutable. We could fix this by declaring `x` as `let mut x`. This is ok in user code, if awkward, but extra weird for closures, since the borrow is hidden.

So we introduce a “unique imm” borrow – the referent is immutable, but not aliasable. This solves the problem. For simplicity, we don’t give users the way to express this borrow, it’s just used when translating closures.

FIXME: Rename this to indicate the borrow is actually not immutable.

§

### Mutable

Data is mutable and not aliasable.

## Implementations§

Source§

### impl BorrowKind

Source

#### pub fn from_mutbl(m: Mutability) -> BorrowKind

Source

#### pub fn to_mutbl_lossy(self) -> Mutability

Returns a mutability `m` such that an `&m T` pointer could be used to obtain this borrow kind. Because borrow kinds are richer than mutabilities, we sometimes have to pick a mutability that is stronger than necessary so that it at least would permit the borrow in question.
