Instance Method

deinitialize(count:)

Deinitializes the specified number of values starting at this pointer.

Declaration

@discardableResult func deinitialize(count: Int) -> UnsafeMutableRawPointer

Parameters

count: The number of instances to deinitialize. count must not be negative.

Return Value

A raw pointer to the same address as this pointer. The memory referenced by the returned raw pointer is still bound to Pointee.

Discussion

The region of memory starting at this pointer and covering count instances of the pointer’s Pointee type must be initialized. After calling deinitialize(count:), the memory is uninitialized, but still bound to the Pointee type.
