How safe is this behavior of GTK-rs Builder::get_object?
In The Rust Programming Language, it says something like:
Move semantics
There’s some more subtlety here, though: Rust ensures that there is
exactly one binding to any given resource. For example, if we have a
vector, we can assign it to another binding:
But I found that I can do this using gtk-rs:
let label1: gtk::Label = builder.get_object("label1").unwrap();
let label1_test: gtk::Label = builder.get_object("label1").unwrap();
Both now point to the same resource "or something happens to me."
Builder::get_object is defined as:
pub fn get_object<T: IsA<Object>>(&self, name: &str) -> Option<T> {
unsafe {
Option::<Object>::from_glib_none(
ffi::gtk_builder_get_object(self.to_glib_none().0, name.to_glib_none().0))
.and_then(|obj| obj.downcast().ok())
}
}
Although this is not really something from Rust directly, just from gtk-rs, I was wondering if I am right and how sure is this.
Maybe it could use Rc?
