Expand description
The version of the call operator that takes a by-value receiver.
Instances of FnOnce
can be called, but might not be callable multiple
times. Because of this, if the only thing known about a type is that it
implements FnOnce
, it can only be called once.
FnOnce
is implemented automatically by closures that might consume captured
variables, as well as all types that implement FnMut
, e.g., (safe)
function pointers (since FnOnce
is a supertrait of FnMut
).
Since both Fn
and FnMut
are subtraits of FnOnce
, any instance of
Fn
or FnMut
can be used where a FnOnce
is expected.
Use FnOnce
as a bound when you want to accept a parameter of function-like
type and only need to call it once. If you need to call the parameter
repeatedly, use FnMut
as a bound; if you also need it to not mutate
state, use Fn
.
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
Using a FnOnce
parameter
fn consume_with_relish<F>(func: F)
where F: FnOnce() -> String
{
// `func` consumes its captured variables, so it cannot be run more
// than once.
println!("Consumed: {}", func());
println!("Delicious!");
// Attempting to invoke `func()` again will throw a `use of moved
// value` error for `func`.
}
let x = String::from("x");
let consume_and_return_x = move || x;
consume_with_relish(consume_and_return_x);
// `consume_and_return_x` can no longer be invoked at this point
