Struct abi_stable::sabi_trait::robject::RObject

#[repr(C)]
pub struct RObject<'lt, P, I, V> where
    P: GetPointerKind,  { /* fields omitted */ }

RObject implements ffi-safe trait objects,for a minimal selection of traits.

The main use of RObject<_> is as the default backend for #[sabi_trait] generated trait objects.

Construction

To construct an RObject<_> directly (not as part of a trait object) you can call one of these methods:

• from_ptr Can be constructed from a pointer of a value.Cannot unerase the RObject afterwards.

• from_ptr_unerasable: Can be constructed from a pointer of a value.Requires a 'static value.

• from_value: Can be constructed from the value directly.Cannot unerase the RObject afterwards.

• from_value_unerasable Can be constructed from the value directly.Requires a 'static value.

Trait object

RObject<'borrow,Pointer<()>,Interface,VTable> can be used as a trait object for any combination of the traits listed bellow.

These are the traits:

• Send

• Sync

• Debug

• Clone

Deconstruction

RObject<_> can then be unwrapped into a concrete type, within the same dynamic library/executable that constructed it, using these (fallible) conversion methods:

• into_unerased:Unwraps into a pointer to T.Requires T:'static.

• as_unerased:Unwraps into a &T.Requires T:'static.

• as_unerased_mut:Unwraps into a &mut T.Requires T:'static.

RObject can only be converted back if it was created using a RObject::*_unerased function.

Methods

impl<'lt, P, I, V> RObject<'lt, P, I, V> where
    P: GetPointerKind<Target = ()>, 

pub unsafe fn with_vtable<OrigPtr>(
    ptr: OrigPtr,
    vtable: StaticRef<V>
) -> RObject<'lt, P, I, V> where
    OrigPtr: CanTransmuteElement<(), TransmutedPtr = P>,
    OrigPtr::Target: Sized + 'lt,
    P: Deref<Target = ()>, 

Constructs an RObject from a pointer and an extra vtable.

This is mostly intended to be called by #[sabi_trait] generated trait objects.

Safety

These are the requirements for the caller:

• P must be a pointer to the type that the vtable functions take as the first parameter.

• The vtable must not come from a reborrowed RObject (created using RObject::reborrow or RObject::reborrow_mut).

• The vtable must be the <SomeVTableName> of a struct declared with #[derive(StableAbi)]``#[sabi(kind(Prefix(prefix_struct="<SomeVTableName>")))].

• The vtable must have StaticRef<RObjectVtable<..>> as its first declared field

impl<'borr, 'a, I, V> RObject<'borr, RRef<'a, ()>, I, V>

pub const unsafe fn with_vtable_const<T, Unerasability>(
    ptr: &'a T,
    vtable: VTableTO_RO<T, RRef<'a, T>, Unerasability, V>
) -> Self where
    T: 'borr, 

This function allows constructing an RObject in a constant/static.

This is mostly intended for #[sabi_trait] generated trait objects

Safety

This has the same safety requirements as RObject::with_vtable

Example

Because this is intended for #[sabi_trait] generated trait objects, this demonstrates how to construct one in a constant.

use abi_stable::sabi_trait::{
    doc_examples::{ConstExample_CTO,ConstExample_MV},
    prelude::TU_Opaque,
};

const EXAMPLE0:ConstExample_CTO<'static,'static>=
    ConstExample_CTO::from_const(
        &0usize,
        TU_Opaque,
        ConstExample_MV::VTABLE,
    );

impl<'lt, P, I, V> RObject<'lt, P, I, V> where
    P: GetPointerKind, 

pub fn into_unerased<T>(self) -> Result<P::TransmutedPtr, UneraseError<Self>> where
    T: 'static,
    P: Deref<Target = ()> + CanTransmuteElement<T>, 

Attempts to unerase this trait object into the pointer it was constructed with.

Errors

This will return an error in any of these conditions:

• It is called in a dynamic library/binary outside the one from which this RObject was constructed.

• The RObject was constructed using the from_(value|ptr) method

• T is not the concrete type this RObject<_> was constructed with.

pub fn as_unerased<T>(&self) -> Result<&T, UneraseError<&Self>> where
    T: 'static,
    P: Deref<Target = ()> + CanTransmuteElement<T>, 

Attempts to unerase this trait object into a reference of the value was constructed with.

Errors

This will return an error in any of these conditions:

• It is called in a dynamic library/binary outside the one from which this RObject was constructed.

• The RObject was constructed using the from_(value|ptr) method

• T is not the concrete type this RObject<_> was constructed with.

pub fn as_unerased_mut<T>(&mut self) -> Result<&mut T, UneraseError<&mut Self>> where
    T: 'static,
    P: DerefMut<Target = ()> + CanTransmuteElement<T>, 

Attempts to unerase this trait object into a mutable reference of the value was constructed with.

Errors

This will return an error in any of these conditions:

• It is called in a dynamic library/binary outside the one from which this RObject was constructed.

• The RObject was constructed using the frfrom_(value|ptr)_* method

• T is not the concrete type this RObject<_> was constructed with.

pub unsafe fn unchecked_into_unerased<T>(self) -> P::TransmutedPtr where
    P: Deref<Target = ()> + CanTransmuteElement<T>, 

Unwraps the RObject<_> into a pointer to T, without checking whether T is the type that the RObject was constructed with.

Safety

You must check that T is the type that RObject was constructed with through other means.

pub unsafe fn unchecked_as_unerased<T>(&self) -> &T where
    P: Deref<Target = ()>, 

Unwraps the RObject<_> into a reference to T, without checking whether T is the type that the RObject was constructed with.

Safety

You must check that T is the type that RObject was constructed with through other means.

pub unsafe fn unchecked_as_unerased_mut<T>(&mut self) -> &mut T where
    P: DerefMut<Target = ()>, 

Unwraps the RObject<_> into a mutable reference to T, without checking whether T is the type that the RObject was constructed with.

Safety

You must check that T is the type that RObject was constructed with through other means.

pub fn reborrow<'re>(&'re self) -> RObject<'lt, &'re (), I, V> where

The reborrowed RObject cannot use these methods:

• RObject::clone
