pub fn into_flattened(self) -> Vec<T, A>

Takes a Vec<[T; N]> and flattens it into a Vec<T>.

§Panics

Panics if the length of the resulting vector would overflow a usize.

This is only possible when flattening a vector of arrays of zero-sized types, and thus tends to be irrelevant in practice. If size_of::<T>() > 0, this will never panic.

§Examples

let mut vec = vec![[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], [7, 8, 9]];
assert_eq!(vec.pop(), Some([7, 8, 9]));

let mut flattened = vec.into_flattened();
assert_eq!(flattened.pop(), Some(6));

pub const fn new() -> Vec<T>

Constructs a new, empty Vec<T>.

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

pub fn with_capacity(capacity: usize) -> Vec<T>

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

The vector will be able to hold at least capacity elements without reallocating. This method is allowed to allocate for more elements than capacity. If capacity is 0, the vector will not allocate.

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

If it is important to know the exact allocated capacity of a Vec, always use the capacity method after construction.

For Vec<T> where T is a zero-sized type, there will be no allocation and the capacity will always be usize::MAX.

§Panics

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

§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!(vec.capacity() >= 10);

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

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

// A vector of a zero-sized type will always over-allocate, since no
// allocation is necessary
let vec_units = Vec::<()>::with_capacity(10);
assert_eq!(vec_units.capacity(), usize::MAX);

pub fn try_with_capacity(capacity: usize) -> Result<Vec<T>, TryReserveError>

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (try_with_capacity)

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

The vector will be able to hold at least capacity elements without reallocating. This method is allowed to allocate for more elements than capacity. If capacity is 0, the vector will not allocate.

§Errors

Returns an error if the capacity exceeds isize::MAX bytes, or if the allocator reports allocation failure.

pub unsafe fn from_raw_parts( ptr: *mut T, length: usize, capacity: usize, ) -> Vec<T>

Creates a Vec<T> directly from a pointer, a length, and a capacity.

§Safety

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

ptr must have been allocated using the global allocator, such as via the alloc::alloc function.
T needs to have the same alignment as what ptr was allocated with. (T having a less strict alignment is not sufficient, the alignment really needs to be equal to satisfy the dealloc requirement that memory must be allocated and deallocated with the same layout.)
The size of T times the capacity (ie. the allocated size in bytes) needs to be the same size as the pointer was allocated with. (Because similar to alignment, dealloc must be called with the same layout size.)
length needs to be less than or equal to capacity.
The first length values must be properly initialized values of type T.
capacity needs to be the capacity that the pointer was allocated with.
The allocated size in bytes must be no larger than isize::MAX. See the safety documentation of pointer::offset.

These requirements are always upheld by any ptr that has been allocated via Vec<T>. Other allocation sources are allowed if the invariants are upheld.

Violating these may cause problems like corrupting the allocator’s internal data structures. For example it is normally not safe to build a Vec<u8> from a pointer to a C char array with length size_t, doing so is only safe if the array was initially allocated by a Vec or String. 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. To avoid these issues, it is often preferable to do casting/transmuting using slice::from_raw_parts instead.

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 {
        ptr::write(p.add(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]);
}

Using memory that was allocated elsewhere:

use std::alloc::{alloc, Layout};

fn main() {
    let layout = Layout::array::<u32>(16).expect("overflow cannot happen");

    let vec = unsafe {
        let mem = alloc(layout).cast::<u32>();
        if mem.is_null() {
            return;
        }

        mem.write(1_000_000);

        Vec::from_raw_parts(mem, 1, 16)
    };

1.5.0 · Source

pub fn resize(&mut self, new_len: usize, value: T)

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 Vec::resize_with. If you only need to resize to a smaller size, use Vec::truncate.

§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]);

pub fn extend_from_slice(&mut self, other: &[T])

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 slice 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]);

pub fn extend_from_within<R>(&mut self, src: R)
where R: RangeBounds<usize>,

Copies elements from src range to the end of the vector.

§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 vec = vec![0, 1, 2, 3, 4];

vec.extend_from_within(2..);
assert_eq!(vec, [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 2, 3, 4]);

pub fn splice<R, I>( &mut self, range: R, replace_with: I, ) -> Splice<'_, ::IntoIter, A>
where R: RangeBounds<usize>, I: IntoIterator<Item = T>,

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.

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 or equal 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, 4];
let new = [7, 8, 9];
let u: Vec<_> = v.splice(1..3, new).collect();
assert_eq!(v, &[1, 7, 8, 9, 4]);

pub fn extract_if<F>(&mut self, filter: F) -> ExtractIf<'_, T, F, A>
where F: FnMut(&mut T) -> bool,

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (extract_if)

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.

If the returned ExtractIf is not exhausted, e.g. because it is dropped without iterating or the iteration short-circuits, then the remaining elements will be retained. Use retain with a negated predicate if you do not need the returned 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;
    }
}

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

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

let evens = numbers.extract_if(|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 fn into_raw_parts(self) -> (*mut T, usize, usize)

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

Decomposes a Vec<T> into its raw components: (pointer, length, capacity).

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.

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 NonNull pointer, length, and capacity back into a Vec with the from_parts function, allowing the destructor to perform the cleanup.

let v: Vec<i32> = vec![-1, 0, 1];

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

let rebuilt = unsafe {

pub fn into_raw_parts_with_alloc(self) -> (*mut T, usize, usize, A)

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (allocator_api)

Decomposes a Vec<T> into its raw components: (pointer, length, capacity, allocator).

pub fn reserve(&mut self, additional: usize)

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

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 speculatively avoid frequent reallocations. After calling try_reserve, capacity will be greater than or equal to self.len() + additional if it returns Ok(()). Does nothing if capacity is already sufficient.

pub fn shrink_to_fit(&mut self)

Shrinks the capacity of the vector as much as possible.

The behavior of this method depends on the allocator, which may either shrink the vector in-place or reallocate. The resulting vector might still have some excess capacity, just as is the case for with_capacity. See Allocator::shrink for more details.

§Examples

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

pub fn shrink_to(&mut self, min_capacity: usize)

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.

If the current capacity is less than the lower limit, this is a no-op.

§Examples

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

pub fn into_boxed_slice(self) -> Box<[T], A>

Converts the vector into Box<[T]>.

let slice = v.into_boxed_slice();

Any excess capacity is removed:

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

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

pub fn truncate(&mut self, len: usize)

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

If len is greater or equal to 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]);

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]);

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

vec.truncate(0);

pub fn as_ptr(&self) -> *const T

Returns a raw pointer to the vector’s buffer, or a dangling raw pointer valid for zero sized reads if the vector didn’t allocate.

The caller must ensure that the vector outlives the pointer this function returns, or else it will end up dangling. 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.

This method guarantees that for the purpose of the aliasing model, this method does not materialize a reference to the underlying slice, and thus the returned pointer will remain valid when mixed with other calls to as_ptr, as_mut_ptr, and as_non_null. Note that calling other methods that materialize mutable references to the slice, or mutable references to specific elements you are planning on accessing through this pointer, as well as writing to those elements, may still invalidate this pointer. See the second example below for how this guarantee can be used.

§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);
    }
}

Due to the aliasing guarantee, the following code is legal:

unsafe {
    let mut v = vec![0, 1, 2];
    let ptr1 = v.as_ptr();
    let _ = ptr1.read();
    let ptr2 = v.as_mut_ptr().offset(2);
    ptr2.write(2);
    // Notably, the write to `ptr2` did *not* invalidate `ptr1`
    // because it mutated a different element:
    let _ = ptr1.read();
}

pub unsafe fn set_len(&mut self, new_len: usize)

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
        }
    }
}

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);
}

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

§Examples

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

where R: RangeBounds<usize>,

Removes the specified range from the vector in bulk, returning all removed elements as an iterator. If the iterator is dropped before being fully consumed, it drops the remaining removed elements.

The returned iterator keeps a mutable borrow on the vector to optimize its implementation.

pub fn split_off(&mut self, at: usize) -> Vec<T, A>
where A: Clone,

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.

If you want to take ownership of the entire contents and capacity of the vector, see mem::take or mem::replace.
If you don’t need the returned vector at all, see Vec::truncate.
If you want to take ownership of an arbitrary subslice, or you don’t necessarily want to store the removed items in a vector, see Vec::drain.

§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]);

pub fn resize_with<F>(&mut self, new_len: usize, f: F)
where F: FnMut() -> T,

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 Vec::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]);

pub fn leak<'a>(self) -> &'a mut [T]
where A: 'a,

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.

As of Rust 1.57, this method does not reallocate or shrink the Vec, so the leaked allocation may include unused capacity that is not part of the returned slice.

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:

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

pub fn spare_capacity_mut(&mut self) -> &mut [MaybeUninit<T>]

Returns the remaining spare capacity of the vector as a slice of MaybeUninit<T>.

The returned slice can be used to fill the vector with data (e.g. by reading from a file) before marking the data as initialized using the set_len method.

§Examples

// Allocate vector big enough for 10 elements.
let mut v = Vec::with_capacity(10);

// Fill in the first 3 elements.
let uninit = v.spare_capacity_mut();
uninit[0].write(0);
uninit[1].write(1);
uninit[2].write(2);

// Mark the first 3 elements of the vector as being initialized.
unsafe {
    v.set_len(3);
}

assert_eq!(&v, &[0, 1, 2]);

Source

pub fn split_at_spare_mut(&mut self) -> (&mut [T], &mut [MaybeUninit<T>])

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (vec_split_at_spare)

Returns vector content as a slice of T, along with the remaining spare capacity of the vector as a slice of MaybeUninit<T>.

The returned spare capacity slice can be used to fill the vector with data (e.g. by reading from a file) before marking the data as initialized using the set_len method.

Note that this is a low-level API, which should be used with care for optimization purposes. If you need to append data to a Vec you can use push, extend, extend_from_slice, extend_from_within, insert, append, resize or resize_with, depending on your exact needs.

§Examples

#![feature(vec_split_at_spare)]

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

// Reserve additional space big enough for 10 elements.
v.reserve(10);

let (init, uninit) = v.split_at_spare_mut();
let sum = init.iter().copied().sum::<u32>();

// Fill in the next 4 elements.
uninit[0].write(sum);
uninit[1].write(sum * 2);
uninit[2].write(sum * 3);
uninit[3].write(sum * 4);

// Mark the 4 elements of the vector as being initialized.
unsafe {
    let len = v.len();
    v.set_len(len + 4);
}

assert_eq!(&v, &[1, 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 16]);

Overwrites the contents of self with a clone of the contents of source.

This method is preferred over simply assigning source.clone() to self, as it avoids reallocation if possible. Additionally, if the element type T overrides clone_from(), this will reuse the resources of self’s elements as well.

§Examples

let x = vec![5, 6, 7];
let mut y = vec![8, 9, 10];
let yp: *const i32 = y.as_ptr();

y.clone_from(&x);

// The value is the same
assert_eq!(x, y);

// And no reallocation occurred
assert_eq!(yp, y.as_ptr());

impl<T> FromIterator<T> for Vec<T>

Collects an iterator into a Vec, commonly called via Iterator::collect()

§Allocation behavior

In general Vec does not guarantee any particular growth or allocation strategy. That also applies to this trait impl.

Note: This section covers implementation details and is therefore exempt from stability guarantees.

Vec may use any or none of the following strategies, depending on the supplied iterator:

preallocate based on Iterator::size_hint()
- and panic if the number of items is outside the provided lower/upper bounds
use an amortized growth strategy similar to pushing one item at a time
perform the iteration in-place on the original allocation backing the iterator

The last case warrants some attention. It is an optimization that in many cases reduces peak memory consumption and improves cache locality. But when big, short-lived allocations are created, only a small fraction of their items get collected, no further use is made of the spare capacity and the resulting Vec is moved into a longer-lived structure, then this can lead to the large allocations having their lifetimes unnecessarily extended which can result in increased memory footprint.

In cases where this is an issue, the excess capacity can be discarded with Vec::shrink_to(), Vec::shrink_to_fit() or by collecting into Box<[T]> instead, which additionally reduces the size of the long-lived struct.

static LONG_LIVED: Mutex<Vec<Vec<u16>>> = Mutex::new(Vec::new());

for i in 0..10 {
    let big_temporary: Vec<u16> = (0..1024).collect();
    // discard most items
    let mut result: Vec<_> = big_temporary.into_iter().filter(|i| i % 100 == 0).collect();
    // without this a lot of unused capacity might be moved into the global
    result.shrink_to_fit();
    LONG_LIVED.lock().unwrap().push(result);
}
