pub trait FnMut<Args>: FnOnce<Args> {
extern "rust-call" fn call_mut(
&mut self,
args: Args
) -> Self::Output;
}
Expand description
The version of the call operator that takes a mutable receiver.
Instances of FnMut
can be called repeatedly and may mutate state.
FnMut
is implemented automatically by closures which take mutable
references to captured variables, as well as all types that implement
Fn
, e.g., (safe) function pointers (since FnMut
is a supertrait of
Fn
). Additionally, for any type F
that implements FnMut
, &mut F
implements FnMut
, too.
Since FnOnce
is a supertrait of FnMut
, any instance of FnMut
can be
used where a FnOnce
is expected, and since Fn
is a subtrait of
FnMut
, any instance of Fn
can be used where FnMut
is expected.
Use FnMut
as a bound when you want to accept a parameter of function-like
type and need to call it repeatedly, while allowing it to mutate state.
If you don’t want the parameter to mutate state, use Fn
as a
bound; if you don’t need to call it repeatedly, use FnOnce
.
See the chapter on closures in The Rust Programming Language for some more information on this topic.
Also of note is the special syntax for Fn
traits (e.g.
Fn(usize, bool) -> usize
). Those interested in the technical details of
this can refer to the relevant section in the Rustonomicon.
Examples
Calling a mutably capturing closure
let mut x = 5;
{
let mut square_x = || x *= x;
square_x();
}
assert_eq!(x, 25);
Using a FnMut
parameter
fn do_twice<F>(mut func: F)
where F: FnMut()
{
func();
func();
}
let mut x: usize = 1;
{
let add_two_to_x = || x += 2;
do_twice(add_two_to_x);
}
assert_eq!(x, 5);
