Rust lang example on how to remove a struct from a vector using the item reference

remove_by_ref.rs

#[derive(Debug)]
struct Structure {
    name: String,
}

#[derive(Debug)]
struct StructVector(Vec<Structure>);

impl StructVector {
    fn by_name(&self, name: &str) -> Option<&Structure> {
        self.0.iter().find(|t| t.name == name)
    }

    fn remove(&mut self, structure_ptr: *const Structure) {
        self.0.retain(|s| !std::ptr::addr_eq(s, structure_ptr));
    }
}

fn main() {
    let mut structs = StructVector(vec![
        Structure { name: "one".to_string() },
        Structure { name: "two".to_string() },
        Structure { name: "three".to_string() },
    ]);

    println!("Before: {structs:?}");
    
    let structure_ref = structs.by_name("one").unwrap();
    structs.remove(structure_ref);

    println!("After: {structs:?}");
}
