# Struct alloc::fmt::Arguments

1.0.0 · source · [−]

    pub struct Arguments<'a> { /* private fields */ }

Expand description

This structure represents a safely precompiled version of a format string and its arguments. This cannot be generated at runtime because it cannot safely be done, so no constructors are given and the fields are private to prevent modification.

The `format_args!` macro will safely create an instance of this structure. The macro validates the format string at compile-time so usage of the `write()` and `format()` functions can be safely performed.

You can use the `Arguments<'a>` that `format_args!` returns in `Debug` and `Display` contexts as seen below. The example also shows that `Debug` and `Display` format to the same thing: the interpolated format string in `format_args!`.

    let debug = format!("{:?}", format_args!("{} foo {:?}", 1, 2));
    let display = format!("{}", format_args!("{} foo {:?}", 1, 2));
    assert_eq!("1 foo 2", display);
    assert_eq!(display, debug);

## Implementations

source

### impl<'a> Arguments<'a>

1.52.0 (const: unstable) · source

#### pub fn as_str(&self) -> Option<&'static str>

Get the formatted string, if it has no arguments to be formatted.

This can be used to avoid allocations in the most trivial case.

##### Examples

    use std::fmt::Arguments;

    fn write_str(_: &str) { /* ... */ }

    fn write_fmt(args: &Arguments) {
        if let Some(s) = args.as_str() {
            write_str(s)
        } else {
            write_str(&args.to_string());
        }
    }

Run

    assert_eq!(format_args!("hello").as_str(), Some("hello"));
    assert_eq!(format_args!("").as_str(), Some(""));
    assert_eq!(format_args!("{}", 1).as_str(), None);
