# 1.0.0[−][src]Struct std::vec::Vec

    pub struct Vec<T> { /* fields omitted */ }

A contiguous growable array type, written `Vec<T>` but pronounced 'vector'.

# Examples

    let mut vec = Vec::new();
    vec.push(1);
    vec.push(2);

    assert_eq!(vec.len(), 2);
    assert_eq!(vec[0], 1);

    assert_eq!(vec.pop(), Some(2));
    assert_eq!(vec.len(), 1);

    vec[0] = 7;
    assert_eq!(vec[0], 7);

    vec.extend([1, 2, 3].iter().copied());

    for x in &vec {
        println!("{}", x);
    }
    assert_eq!(vec, [7, 1, 2, 3]);

Run

The `vec!` macro is provided to make initialization more convenient:

    let mut vec = vec![1, 2, 3];
    vec.push(4);
    assert_eq!(vec, [1, 2, 3, 4]);

Run

It can also initialize each element of a `Vec<T>` with a given value. This may be more efficient than performing allocation and initialization in separate steps, especially when initializing a vector of zeros:

    let vec = vec![0; 5];
    assert_eq!(vec, [0, 0, 0, 0, 0]);

    // The following is equivalent, but potentially slower:
    let mut vec1 = Vec::with_capacity(5);
    vec1.resize(5, 0);

Run

Use a `Vec<T>` as an efficient stack:

    let mut stack = Vec::new();

    stack.push(1);
    stack.push(2);
    stack.push(3);

    while let Some(top) = stack.pop() {
        // Prints 3, 2, 1
        println!("{}", top);
    }

Run

# Indexing

The `Vec` type allows to access values by index, because it implements the `Index` trait. An example will be more explicit:

    let v = vec![0, 2, 4, 6];
    println!("{}", v[1]); // it will display '2'

Run

However be careful: if you try to access an index which isn't in the `Vec`, your software will panic! You cannot do this:

ⓘThis example panics

    let v = vec![0, 2, 4, 6];
    println!("{}", v[6]); // it will panic!

Run

Use `get` and `get_mut` if you want to check whether the index is in the `Vec`.

# Slicing

A `Vec` can be mutable. Slices, on the other hand, are read-only objects. To get a slice, use `&`. Example:

    fn read_slice(slice: &[usize]) {
        // ...
    }

    let v = vec![0, 1];
    read_slice(&v);

    // ... and that's all!
    // you can also do it like this:
    let x : &[usize] = &v;

Run

In Rust, it's more common to pass slices as arguments rather than vectors when you just want to provide read access. The same goes for `String` and `&str`.

# Capacity and reallocation

The capacity of a vector is the amount of space allocated for any future elements that will be added onto the vector. This is not to be confused with the length of a vector, which specifies the number of actual elements within the vector. If a vector's length exceeds its capacity, its capacity will automatically be increased, but its elements will have to be reallocated.

For example, a vector with capacity 10 and length 0 would be an empty vector with space for 10 more elements. Pushing 10 or fewer elements onto the vector will not change its capacity or cause reallocation to occur. However, if the vector's length is increased to 11, it will have to reallocate, which can be slow. For this reason, it is recommended to use `Vec::with_capacity` whenever possible to specify how big the vector is expected to get.

# Guarantees

Due to its incredibly fundamental nature, `Vec` makes a lot of guarantees about its design. This ensures that it's as low-overhead as possible in the general case, and can be correctly manipulated in primitive ways by unsafe code. Note that these guarantees refer to an unqualified `Vec<T>`. If additional type parameters are added (e.g., to support custom allocators), overriding their defaults may change the behavior.

Most fundamentally, `Vec` is and always will be a (pointer, capacity, length) triplet. No more, no less. The order of these fields is completely unspecified, and you should use the appropriate methods to modify these. The pointer will never be null, so this type is null-pointer-optimized.

However, the pointer may not actually point to allocated memory. In particular, if you construct a `Vec` with capacity 0 via `Vec::new`, `vec![]`, `Vec::with_capacity(0)`, or by calling `shrink_to_fit` on an empty Vec, it will not allocate memory. Similarly, if you store zero-sized types inside a `Vec`, it will not allocate space for them. Note that in this case the `Vec` may not report a `capacity` of 0. `Vec` will allocate if and only if `mem::size_of::<T>``() * capacity() > 0`. In general, `Vec`'s allocation details are very subtle — if you intend to allocate memory using a `Vec` and use it for something else (either to pass to unsafe code, or to build your own memory-backed collection), be sure to deallocate this memory by using `from_raw_parts` to recover the `Vec` and then dropping it.

If a `Vec` has allocated memory, then the memory it points to is on the heap (as defined by the allocator Rust is configured to use by default), and its pointer points to `len` initialized, contiguous elements in order (what you would see if you coerced it to a slice), followed by `capacity``-``len` logically uninitialized, contiguous elements.

`Vec` will never perform a "small optimization" where elements are actually stored on the stack for two reasons:

- It would make it more difficult for unsafe code to correctly manipulate a `Vec`. The contents of a `Vec` wouldn't have a stable address if it were only moved, and it would be more difficult to determine if a `Vec` had actually allocated memory.

- It would penalize the general case, incurring an additional branch on every access.

`Vec` will never automatically shrink itself, even if completely empty. This ensures no unnecessary allocations or deallocations occur. Emptying a `Vec` and then filling it back up to the same `len` should incur no calls to the allocator. If you wish to free up unused memory, use `shrink_to_fit`.

`push` and `insert` will never (re)allocate if the reported capacity is sufficient. `push` and `insert` will (re)allocate if `len``==``capacity`. That is, the reported capacity is completely accurate, and can be relied on. It can even be used to manually free the memory allocated by a `Vec` if desired. Bulk insertion methods may reallocate, even when not necessary.

`Vec` does not guarantee any particular growth strategy when reallocating when full, nor when `reserve` is called. The current strategy is basic and it may prove desirable to use a non-constant growth factor. Whatever strategy is used will of course guarantee `O(1)` amortized `push`.

`vec![x; n]`, `vec![a, b, c, d]`, and `Vec::with_capacity(n)`, will all produce a `Vec` with exactly the requested capacity. If `len``==``capacity`, (as is the case for the `vec!` macro), then a `Vec<T>` can be converted to and from a `Box<[T]>` without reallocating or moving the elements.

`Vec` will not specifically overwrite any data that is removed from it, but also won't specifically preserve it. Its uninitialized memory is scratch space that it may use however it wants. It will generally just do whatever is most efficient or otherwise easy to implement. Do not rely on removed data to be erased for security purposes. Even if you drop a `Vec`, its buffer may simply be reused by another `Vec`. Even if you zero a `Vec`'s memory first, that may not actually happen because the optimizer does not consider this a side-effect that must be preserved. There is one case which we will not break, however: using `unsafe` code to write to the excess capacity, and then increasing the length to match, is always valid.

`Vec` does not currently guarantee the order in which elements are dropped. The order has changed in the past and may change again.

## Implementations

### `impl<T> Vec<T>`[src]

#### `pub const fn new() -> Vec<T>`[src]

Constructs a new, empty `Vec<T>`.

The vector will not allocate until elements are pushed onto it.

# Examples

    let mut vec: Vec<i32> = Vec::new();

Run

#### `pub fn with_capacity(capacity: usize) -> Vec<T>`[src]

Constructs a new, empty `Vec<T>` with the specified capacity.

The vector will be able to hold exactly `capacity` elements without reallocating. If `capacity` is 0, the vector will not allocate.

It is important to note that although the returned vector has the capacity specified, the vector will have a zero length. For an explanation of the difference between length and capacity, see Capacity and reallocation.

# Examples

    let mut vec = Vec::with_capacity(10);

    // The vector contains no items, even though it has capacity for more
    assert_eq!(vec.len(), 0);
    assert_eq!(vec.capacity(), 10);

    // These are all done without reallocating...
    for i in 0..10 {
        vec.push(i);
    }
    assert_eq!(vec.len(), 10);
    assert_eq!(vec.capacity(), 10);

    // ...but this may make the vector reallocate
    vec.push(11);
    assert_eq!(vec.len(), 11);
    assert!(vec.capacity() >= 11);

Run

#### `pub fn into_raw_parts(self) -> (*mut T, usize, usize)`[src]

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (`vec_into_raw_parts` #65816)

new API

Decomposes a `Vec<T>` into its raw components.

Returns the raw pointer to the underlying data, the length of the vector (in elements), and the allocated capacity of the data (in elements). These are the same arguments in the same order as the arguments to `from_raw_parts`.

After calling this function, the caller is responsible for the memory previously managed by the `Vec`. The only way to do this is to convert the raw pointer, length, and capacity back into a `Vec` with the `from_raw_parts` function, allowing the destructor to perform the cleanup.

# Examples

    #![feature(vec_into_raw_parts)]
    let v: Vec<i32> = vec![-1, 0, 1];

    let (ptr, len, cap) = v.into_raw_parts();

    let rebuilt = unsafe {
        // We can now make changes to the components, such as
        // transmuting the raw pointer to a compatible type.
        let ptr = ptr as *mut u32;

        Vec::from_raw_parts(ptr, len, cap)
    };
    assert_eq!(rebuilt, [4294967295, 0, 1]);

Run

#### `pub unsafe fn from_raw_parts(
ptr: *mut T,
length: usize,
capacity: usize
) -> Vec<T>`[src]

Creates a `Vec<T>` directly from the raw components of another vector.

# Safety

This is highly unsafe, due to the number of invariants that aren't checked:

- `ptr` needs to have been previously allocated via `String`/`Vec<T>` (at least, it's highly likely to be incorrect if it wasn't).
- `T` needs to have the same size and alignment as what `ptr` was allocated with. (`T` having a less strict alignment is not sufficient, the alignment really needs to be equal to satsify the `dealloc` requirement that memory must be allocated and deallocated with the same layout.)
- `length` needs to be less than or equal to `capacity`.
- `capacity` needs to be the capacity that the pointer was allocated with.

Violating these may cause problems like corrupting the allocator's internal data structures. For example it is not safe to build a `Vec<u8>` from a pointer to a C `char` array with length `size_t`. It's also not safe to build one from a `Vec<u16>` and its length, because the allocator cares about the alignment, and these two types have different alignments. The buffer was allocated with alignment 2 (for `u16`), but after turning it into a `Vec<u8>` it'll be deallocated with alignment 1.

The ownership of `ptr` is effectively transferred to the `Vec<T>` which may then deallocate, reallocate or change the contents of memory pointed to by the pointer at will. Ensure that nothing else uses the pointer after calling this function.

# Examples

    use std::ptr;
    use std::mem;

    let v = vec![1, 2, 3];

    // Prevent running `v`'s destructor so we are in complete control
    // of the allocation.
    let mut v = mem::ManuallyDrop::new(v);

    // Pull out the various important pieces of information about `v`
    let p = v.as_mut_ptr();
    let len = v.len();
    let cap = v.capacity();

    unsafe {
        // Overwrite memory with 4, 5, 6
        for i in 0..len as isize {
            ptr::write(p.offset(i), 4 + i);
        }

        // Put everything back together into a Vec
        let rebuilt = Vec::from_raw_parts(p, len, cap);
        assert_eq!(rebuilt, [4, 5, 6]);
    }

Run

#### `pub fn capacity(&self) -> usize`[src]

Returns the number of elements the vector can hold without reallocating.

# Examples

    let vec: Vec<i32> = Vec::with_capacity(10);
    assert_eq!(vec.capacity(), 10);

Run

#### `pub fn reserve(&mut self, additional: usize)`[src]

Reserves capacity for at least `additional` more elements to be inserted in the given `Vec<T>`. The collection may reserve more space to avoid frequent reallocations. After calling `reserve`, capacity will be greater than or equal to `self.len() + additional`. Does nothing if capacity is already sufficient.

# Panics

Panics if the new capacity exceeds `isize::MAX` bytes.

# Examples

    let mut vec = vec![1];
    vec.reserve(10);
    assert!(vec.capacity() >= 11);

Run

#### `pub fn reserve_exact(&mut self, additional: usize)`[src]

Reserves the minimum capacity for exactly `additional` more elements to be inserted in the given `Vec<T>`. After calling `reserve_exact`, capacity will be greater than or equal to `self.len() + additional`. Does nothing if the capacity is already sufficient.

Note that the allocator may give the collection more space than it requests. Therefore, capacity can not be relied upon to be precisely minimal. Prefer `reserve` if future insertions are expected.

# Panics

Panics if the new capacity overflows `usize`.

# Examples

    let mut vec = vec![1];
    vec.reserve_exact(10);
    assert!(vec.capacity() >= 11);

Run

#### `pub fn try_reserve(&mut self, additional: usize) -> Result<(), TryReserveError>`[src]

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (`try_reserve` #48043)

new API

Tries to reserve capacity for at least `additional` more elements to be inserted in the given `Vec<T>`. The collection may reserve more space to avoid frequent reallocations. After calling `reserve`, capacity will be greater than or equal to `self.len() + additional`. Does nothing if capacity is already sufficient.

# Errors

If the capacity overflows, or the allocator reports a failure, then an error is returned.

# Examples

    #![feature(try_reserve)]
    use std::collections::TryReserveError;

    fn process_data(data: &[u32]) -> Result<Vec<u32>, TryReserveError> {
        let mut output = Vec::new();

        // Pre-reserve the memory, exiting if we can't
        output.try_reserve(data.len())?;

        // Now we know this can't OOM in the middle of our complex work
        output.extend(data.iter().map(|&val| {
            val * 2 + 5 // very complicated
        }));

        Ok(output)
    }

Run

#### `pub fn try_reserve_exact(
&mut self,
additional: usize
) -> Result<(), TryReserveError>`[src]

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (`try_reserve` #48043)

new API

Tries to reserves the minimum capacity for exactly `additional` more elements to be inserted in the given `Vec<T>`. After calling `reserve_exact`, capacity will be greater than or equal to `self.len() + additional`. Does nothing if the capacity is already sufficient.

Note that the allocator may give the collection more space than it requests. Therefore, capacity can not be relied upon to be precisely minimal. Prefer `reserve` if future insertions are expected.

    fn process_data(data: &[u32]) -> Result<Vec<u32>, TryReserveError> {
        let mut output = Vec::new();

        // Pre-reserve the memory, exiting if we can't
        output.try_reserve(data.len())?;

        // Now we know this can't OOM in the middle of our complex work
        output.extend(data.iter().map(|&val| {
            val * 2 + 5 // very complicated
        }));

        Ok(output)
    }

Run

#### `pub fn shrink_to_fit(&mut self)`[src]

Shrinks the capacity of the vector as much as possible.

It will drop down as close as possible to the length but the allocator may still inform the vector that there is space for a few more elements.

# Examples

    let mut vec = Vec::with_capacity(10);
    vec.extend([1, 2, 3].iter().cloned());
    assert_eq!(vec.capacity(), 10);
    vec.shrink_to_fit();
    assert!(vec.capacity() >= 3);

Run

#### `pub fn shrink_to(&mut self, min_capacity: usize)`[src]

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (`shrink_to` #56431)

new API

Shrinks the capacity of the vector with a lower bound.

The capacity will remain at least as large as both the length and the supplied value.

# Panics

Panics if the current capacity is smaller than the supplied minimum capacity.

# Examples

    #![feature(shrink_to)]
    let mut vec = Vec::with_capacity(10);
    vec.extend([1, 2, 3].iter().cloned());
    assert_eq!(vec.capacity(), 10);
    vec.shrink_to(4);
    assert!(vec.capacity() >= 4);
    vec.shrink_to(0);
    assert!(vec.capacity() >= 3);

Run

#### `pub fn into_boxed_slice(self) -> Box<[T]>`[src]

Converts the vector into `Box<[T]>`.

Note that this will drop any excess capacity.

# Examples

    let v = vec![1, 2, 3];

    let slice = v.into_boxed_slice();

Run

Any excess capacity is removed:

    let mut vec = Vec::with_capacity(10);
    vec.extend([1, 2, 3].iter().cloned());

    assert_eq!(vec.capacity(), 10);
    let slice = vec.into_boxed_slice();
    assert_eq!(slice.into_vec().capacity(), 3);

Run

#### `pub fn truncate(&mut self, len: usize)`[src]

Shortens the vector, keeping the first `len` elements and dropping the rest.

If `len` is greater than the vector's current length, this has no effect.

The `drain` method can emulate `truncate`, but causes the excess elements to be returned instead of dropped.

Note that this method has no effect on the allocated capacity of the vector.

# Examples

Truncating a five element vector to two elements:

    let mut vec = vec![1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
    vec.truncate(2);
    assert_eq!(vec, [1, 2]);

Run

No truncation occurs when `len` is greater than the vector's current length:

    let mut vec = vec![1, 2, 3];
    vec.truncate(8);
    assert_eq!(vec, [1, 2, 3]);

Run

Truncating when `len == 0` is equivalent to calling the `clear` method.

    let mut vec = vec![1, 2, 3];
    vec.truncate(0);
    assert_eq!(vec, []);

Run

#### `pub fn as_slice(&self) -> &[T]`1.7.0[src]

Extracts a slice containing the entire vector.

Equivalent to `&s[..]`.

# Examples

    use std::io::{self, Write};
    let buffer = vec![1, 2, 3, 5, 8];
    io::sink().write(buffer.as_slice()).unwrap();

Run

#### `pub fn as_mut_slice(&mut self) -> &mut [T]`1.7.0[src]

Extracts a mutable slice of the entire vector.

Equivalent to `&mut s[..]`.

# Examples

    use std::io::{self, Read};
    let mut buffer = vec![0; 3];
    io::repeat(0b101).read_exact(buffer.as_mut_slice()).unwrap();

Run

#### `pub fn as_ptr(&self) -> *const T`1.37.0[src]

Returns a raw pointer to the vector's buffer.

The caller must ensure that the vector outlives the pointer this function returns, or else it will end up pointing to garbage. Modifying the vector may cause its buffer to be reallocated, which would also make any pointers to it invalid.

The caller must also ensure that the memory the pointer (non-transitively) points to is never written to (except inside an `UnsafeCell`) using this pointer or any pointer derived from it. If you need to mutate the contents of the slice, use `as_mut_ptr`.

# Examples

    let x = vec![1, 2, 4];
    let x_ptr = x.as_ptr();

    unsafe {
        for i in 0..x.len() {
            assert_eq!(*x_ptr.add(i), 1 << i);
        }
    }

Run

#### `pub fn as_mut_ptr(&mut self) -> *mut T`1.37.0[src]

Returns an unsafe mutable pointer to the vector's buffer.

The caller must ensure that the vector outlives the pointer this function returns, or else it will end up pointing to garbage. Modifying the vector may cause its buffer to be reallocated, which would also make any pointers to it invalid.

# Examples

    // Allocate vector big enough for 4 elements.
    let size = 4;
    let mut x: Vec<i32> = Vec::with_capacity(size);
    let x_ptr = x.as_mut_ptr();

    // Initialize elements via raw pointer writes, then set length.
    unsafe {
        for i in 0..size {
            *x_ptr.add(i) = i as i32;
        }
        x.set_len(size);
    }
    assert_eq!(&*x, &[0,1,2,3]);

Run

#### `pub unsafe fn set_len(&mut self, new_len: usize)`[src]

Forces the length of the vector to `new_len`.

This is a low-level operation that maintains none of the normal invariants of the type. Normally changing the length of a vector is done using one of the safe operations instead, such as `truncate`, `resize`, `extend`, or `clear`.

# Safety

- `new_len` must be less than or equal to `capacity()`.
- The elements at `old_len..new_len` must be initialized.

# Examples

This method can be useful for situations in which the vector is serving as a buffer for other code, particularly over FFI:

    pub fn get_dictionary(&self) -> Option<Vec<u8>> {
        // Per the FFI method's docs, "32768 bytes is always enough".
        let mut dict = Vec::with_capacity(32_768);
        let mut dict_length = 0;
        // SAFETY: When `deflateGetDictionary` returns `Z_OK`, it holds that:
        // 1. `dict_length` elements were initialized.
        // 2. `dict_length` <= the capacity (32_768)
        // which makes `set_len` safe to call.
        unsafe {
            // Make the FFI call...
            let r = deflateGetDictionary(self.strm, dict.as_mut_ptr(), &mut dict_length);
            if r == Z_OK {
                // ...and update the length to what was initialized.
                dict.set_len(dict_length);
                Some(dict)
            } else {
                None
            }
        }
    }

Run

While the following example is sound, there is a memory leak since the inner vectors were not freed prior to the `set_len` call:

    let mut vec = vec![vec![1, 0, 0],
                       vec![0, 1, 0],
                       vec![0, 0, 1]];
    // SAFETY:
    // 1. `old_len..0` is empty so no elements need to be initialized.
    // 2. `0 <= capacity` always holds whatever `capacity` is.
    unsafe {
        vec.set_len(0);
    }

Run

Normally, here, one would use `clear` instead to correctly drop the contents and thus not leak memory.

#### `pub fn swap_remove(&mut self, index: usize) -> T`[src]

Removes an element from the vector and returns it.

The removed element is replaced by the last element of the vector.

This does not preserve ordering, but is O(1).

# Panics

Panics if `index` is out of bounds.

# Examples

    let mut v = vec!["foo", "bar", "baz", "qux"];

    assert_eq!(v.swap_remove(1), "bar");
    assert_eq!(v, ["foo", "qux", "baz"]);

    assert_eq!(v.swap_remove(0), "foo");
    assert_eq!(v, ["baz", "qux"]);

Run

#### `pub fn insert(&mut self, index: usize, element: T)`[src]

Inserts an element at position `index` within the vector, shifting all elements after it to the right.

# Panics

Panics if `index > len`.

# Examples

    let mut vec = vec![1, 2, 3];
    vec.insert(1, 4);
    assert_eq!(vec, [1, 4, 2, 3]);
    vec.insert(4, 5);
    assert_eq!(vec, [1, 4, 2, 3, 5]);

Run

#### `pub fn remove(&mut self, index: usize) -> T`[src]

Removes and returns the element at position `index` within the vector, shifting all elements after it to the left.

# Panics

Panics if `index` is out of bounds.

# Examples

    let mut v = vec![1, 2, 3];
    assert_eq!(v.remove(1), 2);
    assert_eq!(v, [1, 3]);

Run

#### `pub fn retain<F>(&mut self, f: F) where
F: FnMut(&T) -> bool,` [src]

Retains only the elements specified by the predicate.

In other words, remove all elements `e` such that `f(&e)` returns `false`. This method operates in place, visiting each element exactly once in the original order, and preserves the order of the retained elements.

# Examples

    let mut vec = vec![1, 2, 3, 4];
    vec.retain(|&x| x % 2 == 0);
    assert_eq!(vec, [2, 4]);

The exact order may be useful for tracking external state, like an index.

#### `pub fn dedup_by_key<F, K>(&mut self, key: F) where
F: FnMut(&mut T) -> K,
K: PartialEq<K>,` 1.16.0[src]

Removes all but the first of consecutive elements in the vector that resolve to the same key.

If the vector is sorted, this removes all duplicates.

# Examples

    let mut vec = vec![10, 20, 21, 30, 20];

    vec.dedup_by_key(|i| *i / 10);

    assert_eq!(vec, [10, 20, 30, 20]);

Run

#### `pub fn dedup_by<F>(&mut self, same_bucket: F) where
F: FnMut(&mut T, &mut T) -> bool,` 1.16.0[src]

Removes all but the first of consecutive elements in the vector satisfying a given equality relation.

The `same_bucket` function is passed references to two elements from the vector and must determine if the elements compare equal. The elements are passed in opposite order from their order in the slice, so if `same_bucket(a, b)` returns `true`, `a` is removed.

If the vector is sorted, this removes all duplicates.

# Examples

    let mut vec = vec!["foo", "bar", "Bar", "baz", "bar"];

    vec.dedup_by(|a, b| a.eq_ignore_ascii_case(b));

    assert_eq!(vec, ["foo", "bar", "baz", "bar"]);

Run

#### `pub fn push(&mut self, value: T)`[src]

Appends an element to the back of a collection.

# Panics

Panics if the new capacity exceeds `isize::MAX` bytes.

# Examples

    let mut vec = vec![1, 2];
    vec.push(3);
    assert_eq!(vec, [1, 2, 3]);

Run

#### `pub fn pop(&mut self) -> Option<T>`[src]

Removes the last element from a vector and returns it, or `None` if it is empty.

# Examples

    let mut vec = vec![1, 2, 3];
    assert_eq!(vec.pop(), Some(3));
    assert_eq!(vec, [1, 2]);

Run

#### `pub fn append(&mut self, other: &mut Vec<T>)`1.4.0[src]

Moves all the elements of `other` into `Self`, leaving `other` empty.

# Panics

Panics if the number of elements in the vector overflows a `usize`.

# Examples

    let mut vec = vec![1, 2, 3];
    let mut vec2 = vec![4, 5, 6];
    vec.append(&mut vec2);
    assert_eq!(vec, [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]);
    assert_eq!(vec2, []);

Run

#### `pub fn drain<R>(&mut self, range: R) -> Drain<T> where
R: RangeBounds<usize>,` 1.6.0[src]

Creates a draining iterator that removes the specified range in the vector and yields the removed items.

Note 1: The element range is removed even if the iterator is only partially consumed or not consumed at all.

Note 2: It is unspecified how many elements are removed from the vector if the `Drain` value is leaked.

# Panics

Panics if the starting point is greater than the end point or if the end point is greater than the length of the vector.

# Examples

    let mut v = vec![1, 2, 3];
    let u: Vec<_> = v.drain(1..).collect();
    assert_eq!(v, &[1]);
    assert_eq!(u, &[2, 3]);

    // A full range clears the vector
    v.drain(..);
    assert_eq!(v, &[]);

Run

#### `pub fn clear(&mut self)`[src]

Clears the vector, removing all values.

Note that this method has no effect on the allocated capacity of the vector.

# Examples

    let mut v = vec![1, 2, 3];

    v.clear();

    assert!(v.is_empty());

Run

#### `pub fn len(&self) -> usize`[src]

Returns the number of elements in the vector, also referred to as its 'length'.

# Examples

    let a = vec![1, 2, 3];
    assert_eq!(a.len(), 3);

Run

#### `pub fn is_empty(&self) -> bool`[src]

Returns `true` if the vector contains no elements.

    assert!(!v.is_empty());

Run

#### `#[must_use = "use `.truncate()` if you don't need the other half"]pub fn split_off(&mut self, at: usize) -> Vec<T>`1.4.0[src]

Splits the collection into two at the given index.

Returns a newly allocated vector containing the elements in the range `[at, len)`. After the call, the original vector will be left containing the elements `[0, at)` with its previous capacity unchanged.

# Panics

Panics if `at > len`.

# Examples

    let mut vec = vec![1,2,3];
    let vec2 = vec.split_off(1);
    assert_eq!(vec, [1]);
    assert_eq!(vec2, [2, 3]);

Run

#### `pub fn resize_with<F>(&mut self, new_len: usize, f: F) where
F: FnMut() -> T,` 1.33.0[src]

Resizes the `Vec` in-place so that `len` is equal to `new_len`.

If `new_len` is greater than `len`, the `Vec` is extended by the difference, with each additional slot filled with the result of calling the closure `f`. The return values from `f` will end up in the `Vec` in the order they have been generated.

If `new_len` is less than `len`, the `Vec` is simply truncated.

This method uses a closure to create new values on every push. If you'd rather `Clone` a given value, use `resize`. If you want to use the `Default` trait to generate values, you can pass `Default::default()` as the second argument.

# Examples

    let mut vec = vec![1, 2, 3];
    vec.resize_with(5, Default::default);
    assert_eq!(vec, [1, 2, 3, 0, 0]);

    let mut vec = vec![];
    let mut p = 1;
    vec.resize_with(4, || { p *= 2; p });
    assert_eq!(vec, [2, 4, 8, 16]);

Run

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

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (`vec_leak` #62195)

Consumes and leaks the `Vec`, returning a mutable reference to the contents, `&'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 similar to the `leak` function on `Box`.

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.

# Examples

Simple usage:

    #![feature(vec_leak)]

    let x = vec![1, 2, 3];
    let static_ref: &'static mut [usize] = Vec::leak(x);
    static_ref[0] += 1;
    assert_eq!(static_ref, &[2, 2, 3]);

### `impl<T> Vec<T> where
T: Clone,` [src]

#### `pub fn resize(&mut self, new_len: usize, value: T)`1.5.0[src]

Resizes the `Vec` in-place so that `len` is equal to `new_len`.

If `new_len` is greater than `len`, the `Vec` is extended by the difference, with each additional slot filled with `value`. If `new_len` is less than `len`, the `Vec` is simply truncated.

This method requires `T` to implement `Clone`, in order to be able to clone the passed value. If you need more flexibility (or want to rely on `Default` instead of `Clone`), use `resize_with`.

# Examples

    let mut vec = vec!["hello"];
    vec.resize(3, "world");
    assert_eq!(vec, ["hello", "world", "world"]);

    let mut vec = vec![1, 2, 3, 4];
    vec.resize(2, 0);
    assert_eq!(vec, [1, 2]);

Run

#### `pub fn extend_from_slice(&mut self, other: &[T])`1.6.0[src]

Clones and appends all elements in a slice to the `Vec`.

Iterates over the slice `other`, clones each element, and then appends it to this `Vec`. The `other` vector is traversed in-order.

Note that this function is same as `extend` except that it is specialized to work with slices instead. If and when Rust gets specialization this function will likely be deprecated (but still available).

# Examples

    let mut vec = vec![1];
    vec.extend_from_slice(&[2, 3, 4]);
    assert_eq!(vec, [1, 2, 3, 4]);

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (`vec_resize_default` #41758)

Resizes the `Vec` in-place so that `len` is equal to `new_len`.

If `new_len` is greater than `len`, the `Vec` is extended by the difference, with each additional slot filled with `Default::default()`. If `new_len` is less than `len`, the `Vec` is simply truncated.

This method uses `Default` to create new values on every push. If you'd rather `Clone` a given value, use `resize`.

# Examples

👎 Deprecated since 1.46.0:

Removing the first item equal to a needle is already easily possible with iterators and the current Vec methods. Furthermore, having a method for one particular case of removal (linear search, only the first item, no swap remove) but not for others is inconsistent. This method will be removed soon.

#### `pub fn splice<R, I>(
&mut self,
range: R,
replace_with: I
) -> Splice<<I as IntoIterator>::IntoIter> where
I: IntoIterator<Item = T>,
R: RangeBounds<usize>,` 1.21.0[src]

Creates a splicing iterator that replaces the specified range in the vector with the given `replace_with` iterator and yields the removed items. `replace_with` does not need to be the same length as `range`.

The element range is removed even if the iterator is not consumed until the end.

It is unspecified how many elements are removed from the vector if the `Splice` value is leaked.

The input iterator `replace_with` is only consumed when the `Splice` value is dropped.

This is optimal if:

- The tail (elements in the vector after `range`) is empty,
- or `replace_with` yields fewer elements than `range`’s length
- or the lower bound of its `size_hint()` is exact.

Otherwise, a temporary vector is allocated and the tail is moved twice.

# Panics

Panics if the starting point is greater than the end point or if the end point is greater than the length of the vector.

# Examples

    let mut v = vec![1, 2, 3];
    let new = [7, 8];
    let u: Vec<_> = v.splice(..2, new.iter().cloned()).collect();

#### `pub fn drain_filter<F>(&mut self, filter: F) -> DrainFilter<T, F> where
F: FnMut(&mut T) -> bool,` [src]

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (`drain_filter` #43244)

recently added

Creates an iterator which uses a closure to determine if an element should be removed.

If the closure returns true, then the element is removed and yielded. If the closure returns false, the element will remain in the vector and will not be yielded by the iterator.

Using this method is equivalent to the following code:

    let mut i = 0;
    while i != vec.len() {
        if some_predicate(&mut vec[i]) {
            let val = vec.remove(i);
            // your code here
        } else {
            i += 1;
        }
    }

Run

But `drain_filter` is easier to use. `drain_filter` is also more efficient, because it can backshift the elements of the array in bulk.

Note that `drain_filter` also lets you mutate every element in the filter closure, regardless of whether you choose to keep or remove it.

# Examples

Splitting an array into evens and odds, reusing the original allocation:

    #![feature(drain_filter)]
    let mut numbers = vec![1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 11, 13, 14, 15];

    let evens = numbers.drain_filter(|x| *x % 2 == 0).collect::<Vec<_>>();
    let odds = numbers;

    assert_eq!(evens, vec![2, 4, 6, 8, 14]);
    assert_eq!(odds, vec![1, 3, 5, 9, 11, 13, 15]);

#### `pub const fn as_ptr(&self) -> *const T`[src]

Returns a raw pointer to the slice's buffer.

The caller must ensure that the slice outlives the pointer this function returns, or else it will end up pointing to garbage.

The caller must also ensure that the memory the pointer (non-transitively) points to is never written to (except inside an `UnsafeCell`) using this pointer or any pointer derived from it. If you need to mutate the contents of the slice, use `as_mut_ptr`.

Modifying the container referenced by this slice may cause its buffer to be reallocated, which would also make any pointers to it invalid.

# Examples

    let x = &[1, 2, 4];
    let x_ptr = x.as_ptr();

    unsafe {
        for i in 0..x.len() {

#### `pub fn as_ptr_range(&self) -> Range<*const T>`[src]

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (`slice_ptr_range` #65807)

Returns the two raw pointers spanning the slice.

The returned range is half-open, which means that the end pointer points one past the last element of the slice. This way, an empty slice is represented by two equal pointers, and the difference between the two pointers represents the size of the slice.

See `as_ptr` for warnings on using these pointers. The end pointer requires extra caution, as it does not point to a valid element in the slice.

This function is useful for interacting with foreign interfaces which use two pointers to refer to a range of elements in memory, as is common in C++.

It can also be useful to check if a pointer to an element refers to an element of this slice:

    #![feature(slice_ptr_range)]

#### `pub fn chunks(&self, chunk_size: usize) -> Chunks<T>`[src]

Returns an iterator over `chunk_size` elements of the slice at a time, starting at the beginning of the slice.

The chunks are slices and do not overlap. If `chunk_size` does not divide the length of the slice, then the last chunk will not have length `chunk_size`.

See `chunks_exact` for a variant of this iterator that returns chunks of always exactly `chunk_size` elements, and `rchunks` for the same iterator but starting at the end of the slice.

# Panics

Panics if `chunk_size` is 0.

# Examples

    let slice = ['l', 'o', 'r', 'e', 'm'];
    let mut iter = slice.chunks(2);
    assert_eq!(iter.next().unwrap(), &['l', 'o']);

#### `pub fn chunks_exact(&self, chunk_size: usize) -> ChunksExact<T>`1.31.0[src]

Returns an iterator over `chunk_size` elements of the slice at a time, starting at the beginning of the slice.

The chunks are slices and do not overlap. If `chunk_size` does not divide the length of the slice, then the last up to `chunk_size-1` elements will be omitted and can be retrieved from the `remainder` function of the iterator.

Due to each chunk having exactly `chunk_size` elements, the compiler can often optimize the resulting code better than in the case of `chunks`.

See `chunks` for a variant of this iterator that also returns the remainder as a smaller chunk, and `rchunks_exact` for the same iterator but starting at the end of the slice.

Binary searches this sorted slice for a given element.

If the value is found then `Result::Ok` is returned, containing the index of the matching element. If there are multiple matches, then any one of the matches could be returned.

# Examples

Looks up a series of four elements. The first is found, with a uniquely determined position; the second and third are not found; the fourth could match any position in `[1, 4]`.

Binary searches this sorted slice with a comparator function.

The comparator function should implement an order consistent with the sort order of the underlying slice, returning an order code that indicates whether its argument is `Less`, `Equal` or `Greater` the desired target.

If the value is found then `Result::Ok` is returned, containing the index of the matching element. If there are multiple matches, then any one of the matches could be returned. If the value is not found then `Result::Err` is returned, containing the index where a matching element could be inserted while maintaining sorted order.

Looks up a series of four elements. The first is found, with a uniquely determined position; the second and third are not found; the fourth could match any position in `[1, 4]`.

    let s = [0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55];

Binary searches this sorted slice with a key extraction function.

Assumes that the slice is sorted by the key, for instance with `sort_by_key` using the same key extraction function.

If the value is found then `Result::Ok` is returned, containing the index of the matching element. If there are multiple matches, then any one of the matches could be returned. If the value is not found then `Result::Err` is returned, containing the index where a matching element could be inserted while maintaining sorted order.

#### `pub fn sort_unstable(&mut self) where
T: Ord,` 1.20.0[src]

Sorts the slice, but may not preserve the order of equal elements.

This sort is unstable (i.e., may reorder equal elements), in-place (i.e., does not allocate), and `O(n * log(n))` worst-case.

# Current implementation

The current algorithm is based on pattern-defeating quicksort by Orson Peters, which combines the fast average case of randomized quicksort with the fast worst case of heapsort, while achieving linear time on slices with certain patterns. It uses some randomization to avoid degenerate cases, but with a fixed seed to always provide deterministic behavior.

It is typically faster than stable sorting, except in a few special cases, e.g., when the slice consists of several concatenated sorted sequences.

# Examples

    let mut v = [-5, 4, 1, -3, 2];

    v.sort_unstable();
    assert!(v == [-5, -3, 1, 2, 4]);

Run

#### `pub fn sort_unstable_by<F>(&mut self, compare: F) where
F: FnMut(&T, &T) -> Ordering,` 1.20.0[src]

Sorts the slice with a comparator function, but may not preserve the order of equal elements.

This sort is unstable (i.e., may reorder equal elements), in-place (i.e., does not allocate), and `O(n * log(n))` worst-case.

The comparator function must define a total ordering for the elements in the slice. If the ordering is not total, the order of the elements is unspecified. An order is a total order if it is (for all a, b and c):

- total and antisymmetric: exactly one of a < b, a == b or a > b is true; and
- transitive, a < b and b < c implies a < c. The same must hold for both == and >.

For example, while `f64` doesn't implement `Ord` because `NaN != NaN`, we can use `partial_cmp` as our sort function when we know the slice doesn't contain a `NaN`.

    let mut floats = [5f64, 4.0, 1.0, 3.0, 2.0];
    floats.sort_unstable_by(|a, b| a.partial_cmp(b).unwrap());
    assert_eq!(floats, [1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0]);

Sorts the slice with a key extraction function, but may not preserve the order of equal elements.

This sort is unstable (i.e., may reorder equal elements), in-place (i.e., does not allocate), and `O(m * n * log(n))` worst-case, where the key function is `O(m)`.

Due to its key calling strategy, `sort_unstable_by_key` is likely to be slower than `sort_by_cached_key` in cases where the key function is expensive.

Moves all but the first of consecutive elements to the end of the slice satisfying a given equality relation.

Returns two slices. The first contains no consecutive repeated elements. The second contains all the duplicates in no specified order.

The `same_bucket` function is passed references to two elements from the slice and must determine if the elements compare equal. The elements are passed in opposite order from their order in the slice, so if `same_bucket(a, b)` returns `true`, `a` is moved at the end of the slice.

If the slice is sorted, the first returned slice contains no duplicates.

#### `pub unsafe fn align_to<U>(&self) -> (&[T], &[U], &[T])`1.30.0[src]

Transmute the slice to a slice of another type, ensuring alignment of the types is maintained.

This method splits the slice into three distinct slices: prefix, correctly aligned middle slice of a new type, and the suffix slice. The method may make the middle slice the greatest length possible for a given type and input slice, but only your algorithm's performance should depend on that, not its correctness. It is permissible for all of the input data to be returned as the prefix or suffix slice.

This method has no purpose when either input element `T` or output element `U` are zero-sized and will return the original slice without splitting anything.

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (`is_sorted` #53485)

new API

Checks if the elements of this slice are sorted using the given comparator function.

Instead of using `PartialOrd::partial_cmp`, this function uses the given `compare` function to determine the ordering of two elements. Apart from that, it's equivalent to `is_sorted`; see its documentation for more information.

#### `pub fn is_sorted_by_key<F, K>(&self, f: F) -> bool where
F: FnMut(&T) -> K,
K: PartialOrd<K>,` [src]

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (`is_sorted` #53485)

new API

Checks if the elements of this slice are sorted using the given key extraction function.

Instead of comparing the slice's elements directly, this function compares the keys of the elements, as determined by `f`. Apart from that, it's equivalent to `is_sorted`; see its documentation for more information.

# Examples

    #![feature(is_sorted)]

    assert!(["c", "bb", "aaa"].is_sorted_by_key(|s| s.len()));
    assert!(![-2i32, -1, 0, 3].is_sorted_by_key(|n| n.abs()));

#### `pub fn partition_point<P>(&self, pred: P) -> usize where
P: FnMut(&T) -> bool,` [src]

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (`partition_point` #73831)

new API

Returns the index of the partition point according to the given predicate (the index of the first element of the second partition).

The slice is assumed to be partitioned according to the given predicate. This means that all elements for which the predicate returns true are at the start of the slice and all elements for which the predicate returns false are at the end. For example, [7, 15, 3, 5, 4, 12, 6] is a partitioned under the predicate x % 2 != 0 (all odd numbers are at the start, all even at the end).

If this slice is not partitioned, the returned result is unspecified and meaningless, as this method performs a kind of binary search.

# Examples

    #![feature(partition_point)]

    let v = [1, 2, 3, 3, 5, 6, 7];
    let i = v.partition_point(|&x| x < 5);

    assert_eq!(i, 4);
    assert!(v[..i].iter().all(|&x| x < 5));
    assert!(v[i..].iter().all(|&x| !(x < 5)));

#### `pub fn is_ascii(&self) -> bool`1.23.0[src]

Checks if all bytes in this slice are within the ASCII range.

#### `pub fn eq_ignore_ascii_case(&self, other: &[u8]) -> bool`1.23.0[src]

Checks that two slices are an ASCII case-insensitive match.

Same as `to_ascii_lowercase(a) == to_ascii_lowercase(b)`, but without allocating and copying temporaries.

#### `pub fn make_ascii_uppercase(&mut self)`1.23.0[src]

Converts this slice to its ASCII upper case equivalent in-place.

ASCII letters 'a' to 'z' are mapped to 'A' to 'Z', but non-ASCII letters are unchanged.

To return a new uppercased value without modifying the existing one, use `to_ascii_uppercase`.

#### `pub fn make_ascii_lowercase(&mut self)`1.23.0[src]

Converts this slice to its ASCII lower case equivalent in-place.

ASCII letters 'A' to 'Z' are mapped to 'a' to 'z', but non-ASCII letters are unchanged.

To return a new lowercased value without modifying the existing one, use `to_ascii_lowercase`.

#### `pub fn sort(&mut self) where
T: Ord,` [src]

Sorts the slice.

This sort is stable (i.e., does not reorder equal elements) and `O(n * log(n))` worst-case.

When applicable, unstable sorting is preferred because it is generally faster than stable sorting and it doesn't allocate auxiliary memory. See `sort_unstable`.

# Current implementation

The current algorithm is an adaptive, iterative merge sort inspired by timsort. It is designed to be very fast in cases where the slice is nearly sorted, or consists of two or more sorted sequences concatenated one after another.

Also, it allocates temporary storage half the size of `self`, but for short slices a non-allocating insertion sort is used instead.

# Examples

    let mut v = [-5, 4, 1, -3, 2];

    v.sort();
    assert!(v == [-5, -3, 1, 2, 4]);

Run

#### `pub fn sort_by<F>(&mut self, compare: F) where
F: FnMut(&T, &T) -> Ordering,` [src]

Sorts the slice with a comparator function.

This sort is stable (i.e., does not reorder equal elements) and `O(n * log(n))` worst-case.

The comparator function must define a total ordering for the elements in the slice. If the ordering is not total, the order of the elements is unspecified. An order is a total order if it is (for all `a`, `b` and `c`):

- total and antisymmetric: exactly one of `a < b`, `a == b` or `a > b` is true, and
- transitive, `a < b` and `b < c` implies `a < c`. The same must hold for both `==` and `>`.

For example, while `f64` doesn't implement `Ord` because `NaN != NaN`, we can use `partial_cmp` as our sort function when we know the slice doesn't contain a `NaN`.

    let mut floats = [5f64, 4.0, 1.0, 3.0, 2.0];
    floats.sort_by(|a, b| a.partial_cmp(b).unwrap());
    assert_eq!(floats, [1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0]);

Run

When applicable, unstable sorting is preferred because it is generally faster than stable sorting and it doesn't allocate auxiliary memory. See `sort_unstable_by`.

    assert!(v == [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]);

#### `pub fn sort_by_key<K, F>(&mut self, f: F) where
F: FnMut(&T) -> K,
K: Ord,` 1.7.0[src]

Sorts the slice with a key extraction function.

This sort is stable (i.e., does not reorder equal elements) and `O(m * n * log(n))` worst-case, where the key function is `O(m)`.

For expensive key functions (e.g. functions that are not simple property accesses or basic operations), `sort_by_cached_key` is likely to be significantly faster, as it does not recompute element keys.

When applicable, unstable sorting is preferred because it is generally faster than stable sorting and it doesn't allocate auxiliary memory. See `sort_unstable_by_key`.

#### `pub fn sort_by_cached_key<K, F>(&mut self, f: F) where
F: FnMut(&T) -> K,
K: Ord,` 1.34.0[src]

Sorts the slice with a key extraction function.

During sorting, the key function is called only once per element.

This sort is stable (i.e., does not reorder equal elements) and `O(m * n + n * log(n))` worst-case, where the key function is `O(m)`.

For simple key functions (e.g., functions that are property accesses or basic operations), `sort_by_key` is likely to be faster.

# Current implementation

The current algorithm is based on pattern-defeating quicksort by Orson Peters, which combines the fast average case of randomized quicksort with the fast worst case of heapsort, while achieving linear time on slices with certain patterns. It uses some randomization to avoid degenerate cases, but with a fixed seed to always provide deterministic behavior.

In the worst case, the algorithm allocates temporary storage in a `Vec<(K, usize)>` the length of the slice.

# Examples

    let mut v = [-5i32, 4, 32, -3, 2];

    v.sort_by_cached_key(|k| k.to_string());
    assert!(v == [-3, -5, 2, 32, 4]);
