)Expand description
A generalization of Clone
to borrowed data.
Some types make it possible to go from borrowed to owned, usually by
implementing the Clone
trait. But Clone
works only for going from &T
to T
. The ToOwned
trait generalizes Clone
to construct owned data
from any borrow of a given type.

1.63.0 ยท Sourcefn clone_into(&self, target: &mut Self::Owned)
fn clone_into(&self, target: &mut Self::Owned)
Uses borrowed data to replace owned data, usually by cloning.
This is borrow-generalized version of Clone::clone_from
.
ยงExamples
Basic usage:
let mut s: String = String::new();
"hello".clone_into(&mut s);
let mut v: Vec<i32> = Vec::new();
[1, 2][..].clone_into(&mut v);
Dyn Compatibilityยง
This trait is not dyn compatible.
In older versions of Rust, dyn compatibility was called "object safety", so this trait is not object safe.
