Help

If you run into any issues or need help with using shadow-clone in your project please email incoming+efunb-shadow-clone-12722979-issue-@incoming.gitlab.com.

How to use

Add

shadow-clone = "1"

to your cargo.toml under [dependencies] and add

use shadow_clone::shadow_clone;

to your main file.

Examples

let s = "foo".to_string();
let c = move |x: i32| format!("{}{}", s, x);
let bar = s;

This will not compile as s has been moved into the closure.

This issue can be solved with this macro.

use shadow_clone::shadow_clone;
let s = "foo".to_string();
{
    shadow_clone!(s);
    let c = move |x: i32| format!("{}{}", s, x);
}
let bar = s;

That expands to,

use shadow_clone::shadow_clone;
let s = "foo".to_string();
{
    let s = s.clone();
    let c = move |x: i32| format!("{}{}", s, x);
}
let bar = s;

You can also clone multiple variables separated by commas: shadow_clone!(foo, bar);.

You can also bind a clone as mutable by prefixing with mut: shadow_clone!(mut foo);.
