Struct crate_metadata::LoadedSectionInner

#[non_exhaustive]
pub struct LoadedSectionInner {
    pub sections_i_depend_on: Vec<StrongDependency>,
    pub sections_dependent_on_me: Vec<WeakDependent>,
}

The parts of a LoadedSection that may be mutable, i.e., only the parts that could change after a section is initially loaded and linked.

Fields (Non-exhaustive)

Non-exhaustive structs could have additional fields added in future. Therefore, non-exhaustive structs cannot be constructed in external crates using the traditional Struct { .. } syntax; cannot be matched against without a wildcard ..; and struct update syntax will not work.

sections_i_depend_on: Vec<StrongDependency>

The list of sections in foreign crates that this section depends on, i.e., “my required dependencies”. This is kept as a list of strong references because these sections must outlast this section, i.e., those sections cannot be removed/deleted until this one is deleted.

sections_dependent_on_me: Vec<WeakDependent>

The list of sections in foreign crates that depend on this section, i.e., “my dependents”. This is kept as a list of Weak references because we must be able to remove other sections that are dependent upon this one before we remove this one. If we kept strong references to the sections dependent on this one, then we wouldn’t be able to remove/delete those sections before deleting this one.
