[−][src]Trait cast_trait_object::DynCastConfig
Specifies the trait that we are casting from and the trait we are casting to.
The reason we need a "config" type instead of just specifying the source
and target traits as type parameters in the DynCast
trait is that the
compiler would error out it certain situations due to it detecting "cycles".
"Hiding" the source and target traits as associated types prevent this from
happening and allows using the DynCast
trait as a supertrait of the
source trait from which we perform a cast.
Associated Types
type Target: ?Sized
The trait we are casting to.
type Source: ?Sized
The trait we are casting from and that we want back if the cast failed.
