destruct-drop

Macro for dropping the fields of a struct or enum without dropping the container.

Usage

Add #[derive(DestructDrop)] to your struct or enum definition.

use destruct_drop::DestructDrop;

#[derive(DestructDrop)]
struct Container {
    inner: Inner
}

struct Inner;

impl Drop for Container {
    fn drop(&mut self) {
        println!("dropped Container");
    }
}

impl Drop for Inner {
    fn drop(&mut self) {
        println!("dropped Inner");
    }
}

fn main() {
    // prints "dropped Inner" and then "dropped Container"
    drop(Container { inner: Inner });

    // prints only "dropped Inner"
    Container { inner: Inner }.destruct_drop();
}
