# Function lazy_static::initialize [−] [src]

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

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..65537).collect();
    }

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

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

## Search Tricks

Prefix searches with a type followed by a colon (e.g. `fn:`) to restrict the search to a given type.

Accepted types are: `fn`, `mod`, `struct`, `enum`, `trait`, `type`, `macro`, and `const`.

Search functions by type signature (e.g. `vec -> usize` or `* -> vec`)
