The Drop
trait in Rust is used to run custom cleanup logic when a value goes out of scope. This is particularly useful for managing resources like files, network connections, or any other system resources that need to be explicitly released.
When a value that implements Drop
goes out of scope, the Rust runtime automatically calls the drop
method, allowing you to define custom behavior for resource cleanup.
In this challenge, you will implement a struct that represents a temporary file. The file should be automatically deleted when the struct is dropped, simulating the behavior of temporary files in real-world applications.
TempFile
struct with a method new
that takes a file name as input, it must accept both &str
and String
types.Drop
trait for TempFile
to delete the file automatically when the struct goes out of scope.If you're stuck, here are some hints to help you solve the challenge:
std::fs::File
to create a temporary file.std::env::temp_dir()
to get the path for temporary files.std::fs::remove_file
method can be used to delete files.PathBuf
struct is helpful for managing file paths.AsRef<str>
trait to allow flexible input types for the file name.Drop
trait for custom cleanup logic.
