Trait Scalar 

pub trait Scalar:
    Copy
    + Send
    + Sync
    + 'static {
    // Required method
    fn to_f32(&self) -> f32;
}

A scalar value usable in tensors. Every scalar projects to f32 for cross-backend interop.

Backends pick their own concrete scalar set; the framework ships universal primitive impls for f32 + f64 only. Concrete backends may add impls for i32, i64, u32, u64, bool, f16 (bf16, fp8 variants), etc.

Required Methods

fn to_f32(&self) -> f32

Projection to f32. Lossy for wider types (f64, i64); faithful for f32 + smaller integers.

Dyn Compatibility

This trait is not dyn compatible.

In older versions of Rust, dyn compatibility was called "object safety".
