//! Safe, zero-cost downcasting for limited compile-time specialization.
//!
//! This crate works fully on stable Rust, and also does not require the
//! standard library. To disable references to the standard library, you must
//! opt-out of the `std` feature using `default-features = false` in your
//! `Cargo.toml` file.
//!
//! Castaway provides the following key macros:
//!
//! - [`cast`]: Attempt to cast the result of an expression into a given
//!   concrete type.
//! - [`match_type`]: Match the result of an expression against multiple
//!   concrete types.

/// Attempt to cast the result of an expression into a given concrete type.
///
/// If the expression is in fact of the given type, an [`Ok`] is returned
/// containing the result of the expression as that type. If the types do not
/// match, the value is returned in an [`Err`] unchanged.
///
/// This macro is designed to work inside a generic context, and allows you to
/// downcast generic types to their concrete types or to another generic type at
/// compile time. If you are looking for the ability to downcast values at
/// runtime, you should use [`Any`](core::any::Any) instead.
///
/// This macro does not perform any sort of type _conversion_ (such as
/// re-interpreting `i32` as `u32` and so on), it only resolves generic types to
/// concrete types if the instantiated generic type is exactly the same as the
/// type you specify. If you are looking to reinterpret the bits of a value as a
/// type other than the one it actually is, then you should look for a different
/// library.
///
/// Invoking this macro is zero-cost, meaning after normal compiler optimization
/// steps there will be no code generated in the final binary for performing a
/// cast. In debug builds some glue code may be present with a small runtime
/// cost.
///
/// # Restrictions
///
/// Attempting to perform an illegal or unsupported cast that can never be
/// successful, such as casting to a value with a longer lifetime than the
/// expression, will produce a compile-time error.
///
/// Due to language limitations with lifetime bounds, this macro is more
/// restrictive than what is theoretically possible and rejects some legal
/// casts. This is to ensure safety and correctness around lifetime handling.
/// Examples include the following:
///
/// - Casting an expression by value with a non-`'static` lifetime is not
///   allowed. For example, you cannot attempt to cast a `T: 'a` to `Foo<'a>`.
/// - Casting to a reference with a non-`'static` lifetime is not allowed if the
///   expression type is not required to be a reference. For example, you can
///   attempt to cast a `&T` to `&String`, but you can't attempt to cast a `T`
///   to `&String` because `T` may or may not be a reference. You can, however,
///   attempt to cast a `T: 'static` to `&'static String`.
/// - You cannot cast references whose target itself may contain non-`'static`
///   references. For example, you can attempt to cast a `&'a T: 'static` to
///   `&'a Foo<'static>`, but you can't attempt to cast a `&'a T: 'b` to `&'a
///   Foo<'b>`.
/// - You can cast generic slices as long as the item type is `'static` and
///   `Sized`, but you cannot cast a generic reference to a slice or vice versa.
///
/// Some exceptions are made to the above restrictions for certain types which
/// are known to be _lifetime-free_. You can cast a generic type to any
/// lifetime-free type by value or by reference, even if the generic type is not
/// `'static`.
///
/// A type is considered lifetime-free if it contains no generic lifetime
/// bounds, ensuring that all possible instantiations of the type are always
/// `'static`. To mark a type as being lifetime-free and enable it to be casted
/// to in this manner by this macro it must implement the [`LifetimeFree`]
/// trait. This is implemented automatically for all primitive types and for
/// several `core` types. If you enable the `std` crate feature, then it will
/// also be implemented for several `std` types as well.
///
/// # Examples
///
/// The above restrictions are admittedly complex and can be tricky to reason
/// about, so it is recommended to read the following examples to get a feel for
/// what is, and what is not, supported.
///
/// Performing trivial casts:
///
/// ```
/// use castaway::cast;
///
/// let value: u8 = 0;
/// assert_eq!(cast!(value, u8), Ok(0));
///
/// let slice: &[u8] = &[value];
/// assert_eq!(cast!(slice, &[u8]), Ok(slice));
/// ```
///
/// Performing a cast in a generic context:
///
/// ```
/// use castaway::cast;
///
/// fn is_this_a_u8<T: 'static>(value: T) -> bool {
///     cast!(value, u8).is_ok()
/// }
///
/// assert!(is_this_a_u8(0u8));
/// assert!(!is_this_a_u8(0u16));
///
/// // Note that we can also implement this without the `'static` type bound
/// // because the only type(s) we care about casting to all implement
/// // `LifetimeFree`:
///
/// fn is_this_a_u8_non_static<T>(value: T) -> bool {
///     cast!(value, u8).is_ok()
/// }
///
/// assert!(is_this_a_u8_non_static(0u8));
/// assert!(!is_this_a_u8_non_static(0u16));
/// ```
///
/// Specialization in a blanket trait implementation:
///
/// ```
/// # #[cfg(feature = "std")] {
/// use std::fmt::Display;
/// use castaway::cast;
///
/// /// Like `std::string::ToString`, but with an optimization when `Self` is
/// /// already a `String`.
/// ///
/// /// Since the standard library is allowed to use unstable features,
/// /// `ToString` already has this optimization using the `specialization`
/// /// feature, but this isn't something normal crates can do.
/// pub trait FastToString {
///     fn fast_to_string(&self) -> String;

///
/// impl<T: Display> FastToString for T {
///     fn fast_to_string<'local>(&'local self) -> String {
///         // If `T` is already a string, then take a different code path.
///         // After monomorphization, this check will be completely optimized
///         // away.
