This crate implements an offset_of!(...)
macro which safely encapsulates a pointer-to-member.
Example:
struct Foo { x: u32, y: f64 } let foo_y = offset_of!(Foo => y); let mut a = Foo { x: 1, y: 2.0 }; *foo_y.apply_mut(&mut a) = 3.0; assert!(a.y == 3.0);
The macro returns an instance of FieldOffset<T, U>
, which represents a pointer to a field of type U
within a containing type, T
.
The FieldOffset
type implements Add
. Applying the resulting field offset is equivalent to applying the first field offset, then applying the second field offset.
The macro also supports accessing nested fields:
let bar_foo_y = offset_of!(Bar => foo: Foo => y);
