# Function lazy_static::initialize

source · [−]

    pub fn initialize<T: LazyStatic>(lazy: &T)

Expand description

Takes a shared reference to a lazy static and initializes it if it has not been already.

This can be used to control the initialization point of a lazy static.

Example:

    #[macro_use]
    extern crate lazy_static;

    lazy_static! {
        static ref BUFFER: Vec<u8> = (0..255).collect();
    }

    fn main() {
        lazy_static::initialize(&BUFFER);

        // ...
        work_with_initialized_data(&BUFFER);
    }
