From 3048a41a5a042c2633a4d87ea38e04a1407f5bd3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: JOE1994 Date: Sun, 31 May 2020 15:58:06 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Rephrase term 'non-pointer type' If the reader assumes that 'pointer type's include 'smart pointer's, the term 'non-pointer type' could mislead the reader to assume that x should not be a smart pointer type. I tried to rephrase the term 'non-pointer type' to remove ambiguity in the doc comments. closes #72335 Thank you for reviewing this PR! :) --- src/libcore/ops/deref.rs | 8 ++++---- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/libcore/ops/deref.rs b/src/libcore/ops/deref.rs index 6e96aa330ff19..3faeb170b0637 100644 --- a/src/libcore/ops/deref.rs +++ b/src/libcore/ops/deref.rs @@ -18,8 +18,8 @@ /// /// If `T` implements `Deref`, and `x` is a value of type `T`, then: /// -/// * In immutable contexts, `*x` on non-pointer types is equivalent to -/// `*Deref::deref(&x)`. +/// * In immutable contexts, `*x` (where `T` is neither a reference nor a raw pointer) +/// is equivalent to `*Deref::deref(&x)`. /// * Values of type `&T` are coerced to values of type `&U` /// * `T` implicitly implements all the (immutable) methods of the type `U`. /// @@ -115,8 +115,8 @@ impl Deref for &mut T { /// If `T` implements `DerefMut`, and `x` is a value of type `T`, /// then: /// -/// * In mutable contexts, `*x` on non-pointer types is equivalent to -/// `*DerefMut::deref_mut(&mut x)`. +/// * In mutable contexts, `*x` (where `T` is neither a reference nor a raw pointer) +/// is equivalent to `*DerefMut::deref_mut(&mut x)`. /// * Values of type `&mut T` are coerced to values of type `&mut U` /// * `T` implicitly implements all the (mutable) methods of the type `U`. ///
