Module gdnative::object

Provides types to interact with the Godot Object class hierarchy

This module contains wrappers and helpers to interact with Godot objects. In Godot, classes stand in an inheritance relationship, with the root at Object.

If you are looking for how to manage user-defined types (native scripts), check out the export module.

Modules

• bounds
  Various traits to verify memory policy, ownership policy or lifetime bounds
• memory
  Marker types to express the memory management method of Godot types.
• ownership
  Typestates to express ownership and thread safety of Godot types.

Structs

• Instance
  A persistent reference to a GodotObject with a rust NativeClass attached.
• Null
  Represents an explicit null reference in method arguments. This works around type inference issues with Option. You may create Nulls with Null::null or GodotObject::null.
• RawObject
  An opaque struct representing Godot objects. This should never be created on the stack.
• Ref
  A polymorphic smart pointer for Godot objects whose behavior changes depending on the memory management method of the underlying type and the thread access status.
• TInstance
  A reference to a GodotObject with a rust NativeClass attached that is assumed safe during a certain lifetime.
• TRef
  A temporary safe pointer to Godot objects that tracks thread access status. TRef can be coerced into bare references with Deref.

Traits

• AsArg
  Trait for safe conversion from Godot object references into API method arguments. This is a sealed trait with no public interface.
• AsVariant
  Trait for safe conversion from Godot object references into Variant. This is a sealed trait with no public interface.
• GodotObject
  Trait for Godot API objects. This trait is sealed, and implemented for generated wrapper types.
• Instanciable
  GodotObjects that have a zero argument constructor.
• NewRef
  A trait for incrementing the reference count to a Godot object.
• QueueFree
  Manually managed Godot classes implementing queue_free. This trait has no public interface. See Ref::queue_free.
• Receiver
  Trait for types that can be used as the self or #[self] argument (receiver) for methods exported through the #[methods] attribute macro. This trait has no public interface, and is not intended to be implemented by users.
• SubClass
  Marker trait for API types that are subclasses of another type. This trait is implemented by the bindings generator, and has no public interface. Users should not attempt to implement this trait.
