3 /// `vec!` allows `Vec`s to be defined with the same syntax as array expressions.
4 /// There are two forms of this macro:
6 /// - Create a [`Vec`] containing a given list of elements:
9 /// let v = vec![1, 2, 3];
10 /// assert_eq!(v[0], 1);
11 /// assert_eq!(v[1], 2);
12 /// assert_eq!(v[2], 3);
15 /// - Create a [`Vec`] from a given element and size:
18 /// let v = vec![1; 3];
19 /// assert_eq!(v, [1, 1, 1]);
22 /// Note that unlike array expressions this syntax supports all elements
23 /// which implement [`Clone`] and the number of elements doesn't have to be
26 /// This will use `clone` to duplicate an expression, so one should be careful
27 /// using this with types having a nonstandard `Clone` implementation. For
28 /// example, `vec![Rc::new(1); 5]` will create a vector of five references
29 /// to the same boxed integer value, not five references pointing to independently
32 /// Also, note that `vec![expr; 0]` is allowed, and produces an empty vector.
33 /// This will still evaluate `expr`, however, and immediately drop the resulting value, so
34 /// be mindful of side effects.
