Now that we can do interior mutability in const, most of the RefCell API can be const fn. The main exceptions are APIs which use FnOnce (RefCell::replace_with and Ref[Mut]::[filter_]map[_split]) and RefCell::take which calls Default::default.

The main problem is dropping. Please make sure to also add a test actually using a RefCell; that will probably not work since the Ref/RefMut Drop impls are not const.

@compiler-errors what is the state of Drop in const? Can one impl const Drop and it will "just work"? Are const Destruct bounds ready for use in std (for APIs that are stable but const-unstable)?

Since we probably all want to hear the answer to that question...

No. Until we know what const traits syntax to implement, adding more const trait impls is not something we want. The libstd churn is not worth it

@Daniel-Aaron-Bloom okay so please remove the fn const_drop hack and instead try impl const Drop for BorrowRef and BorrowRefMut. If that does not work, then I think it is better to wait until that works; nobody will be able to use RefCell in const otherwise anyway (not even on nightly).

Should I also remove try to remove my added private function RefMut::as_mut and use const_deref instead?

RalfJung commented Mar 3, 2025

Oh that's what those functions are for?

Sure, seems fine to me as long no incomplete nightly features have to be enabled for this.
