Expand description
The version of the call operator that takes an immutable receiver.
Instances of Fn
can be called repeatedly without mutating state.
This trait (Fn
) is not to be confused with function pointers
(fn
).
Fn
is implemented automatically by closures which only take immutable
references to captured variables or don’t capture anything at all, as well
as (safe) function pointers (with some caveats, see their documentation
for more details). Additionally, for any type F
that implements Fn
, &F
implements Fn
, too.
Since both FnMut
and FnOnce
are supertraits of Fn
, any
instance of Fn
can be used as a parameter where a FnMut
or FnOnce
is expected.
Use Fn
as a bound when you want to accept a parameter of function-like
type and need to call it repeatedly and without mutating state (e.g., when
calling it concurrently). If you do not need such strict requirements, use
FnMut
or FnOnce
as bounds.
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
§Calling a closure
let square = |x| x * x;
assert_eq!(square(5), 25);
§Using a Fn
parameter
fn call_with_one<F>(func: F) -> usize
where F: Fn(usize) -> usize {
func(1)
}
let double = |x| x * 2;
assert_eq!(call_with_one(double), 2);
