Struct wasmtime::RefType

pub struct RefType { /* private fields */ }

Opaque references to data in the Wasm heap or to host data.

Subtyping and Equality

RefType does not implement Eq, because reference types have a subtyping relationship, and so 99.99% of the time you actually want to check whether one type matches (i.e. is a subtype of) another type. You can use the RefType::matches and Ref::matches_ty methods to perform these types of checks. If, however, you are in that 0.01% scenario where you need to check precise equality between types, you can use the RefType::eq method.

Implementations

impl RefType

pub const EXTERNREF: Self = _

The externref type, aka (ref null extern).

pub const NULLEXTERNREF: Self = _

The nullexternref type, aka (ref null noextern).

pub const FUNCREF: Self = _

The funcref type, aka (ref null func).

pub const NULLFUNCREF: Self = _

The nullfuncref type, aka (ref null nofunc).

pub const ANYREF: Self = _

The anyref type, aka (ref null any).

pub const I31REF: Self = _

The i31ref type, aka (ref null i31).

pub const ARRAYREF: Self = _

The arrayref type, aka (ref null array).

pub const STRUCTREF: Self = _

The structref type, aka (ref null struct).

pub const NULLREF: Self = _

The nullref type, aka (ref null none).

pub fn new(is_nullable: bool, heap_type: HeapType) -> RefType

Construct a new reference type.

pub fn is_nullable(&self) -> bool

Can this type of reference be null?

pub fn heap_type(&self) -> &HeapType

The heap type that this is a reference to.

pub fn matches(&self, other: &RefType) -> bool

Does this reference type match the other?

That is, is this reference type a subtype of the other?

Panics

Panics if either type is associated with a different engine from the other.

pub fn eq(a: &RefType, b: &RefType) -> bool

Is reference type a precisely equal to reference type b?

Returns false even if a is a subtype of b or vice versa, if they are not exactly the same reference type.

Panics

Panics if either type is associated with a different engine.
