Struct crate_metadata::WeakDependent

pub struct WeakDependent {
    pub section: WeakSectionRef,
    pub relocation: RelocationEntry,
}

A representation that the section A in this struct depends on the owner B of (the LoadedSection object containing) this struct. The target dependency B is not specifically included here; it’s implicitly the owner of this struct.

This is a weak reference to another LoadedSection A, because it is okay to remove a section A that depends on the owning section B before removing B. Otherwise, there would be an infinitely recursive dependency, and neither A nor B could ever be dropped. This design allows for A to be dropped before B, because there is no dependency ordering violation there.

This is the inverse of the StrongDependency type.

Fields
