In this chapter, we will cover the following recipes:
- Creating lazy static objects
- Working with bit fields
- Providing custom derives
- Converting types into each other
- Boxing data
- Sharing ownership with smart pointers
- Working with interior mutability
Introduction
So far, we have primarily looked at techniques that were all useful in their own right. Of course, we are continuing that trend, but the recipes shown in this chapter truly shine when combined with other code. You can imagine them as the glue holding a nice Rust program together, as they are primarily oriented toward new enabling ways in which different components of your crate can work together.
Creating lazy static objects
Big objects, especially constant ...
