traits

Core object-lifetime and value-semantics traits.

The traits package defines the stabilized traits that describe how Mojo values are created, copied, moved, and destroyed: AnyType, Deinitable, Movable, Copyable, and ImplicitlyCopyable. These traits are Mojo built-ins and are automatically imported into every Mojo program through the prelude.

Modules​

  • ​anytype: Defines AnyType, the most basic trait that all Mojo types extend by default.
  • ​copyable: Defines Copyable and ImplicitlyCopyable, the traits for types whose value can be copied.
  • ​deinitable: Defines Deinitable, the trait for types with lifetime management through destructors.
  • ​movable: Defines Movable, the trait for types whose value can be moved.
