//! This crate offers functionality for casting between trait objects using only
//! safe Rust and no platform specific code. If you want to downcast to concrete
//! types instead of other trait objects then this crate can't help you, instead
//! use [`std::any`] or a crate like [`downcast-rs`].
//!
//! This crate offers two things, a trait [`DynCast`] that abstracts over methods
//! used to cast between trait objects and some macros to minimize the boilerplate
//! needed to implement that trait.
//!
//! # Usage
//!
//! You should use the [`DynCast`] trait in trait bounds or as a supertrait and
//! then do casts using the methods provided by the [`DynCastExt`] trait. The
//! [`DynCast`] trait takes a type parameter that should be a "config" type
//! generated by the [`create_dyn_cast_config`] macro, this type defines from
//! which trait and to which trait a cast is made. Types that need to allow casting
//! to meet the [`DynCast`] trait bound can then implement it via the
//! [`impl_dyn_cast`] macro.
//!
//! # Examples
//!
//! ```
//! use cast_trait_object::{create_dyn_cast_config, impl_dyn_cast, DynCast, DynCastExt};
//!
//! create_dyn_cast_config!(SuperToSubCast = Super => Sub);
//! create_dyn_cast_config!(SuperUpcast = Super => Super);
//! trait Super: DynCast<SuperToSubCast> + DynCast<SuperUpcast> {}
//! trait Sub: Super {}
//!
//! struct Foo;
//! impl Super for Foo {}
//! impl Sub for Foo {}
//! impl_dyn_cast!(Foo as Super => Sub, Super);
//!
//! let foo: &dyn Super = &Foo;
//! // Casting to a sub trait is fallible (the error allows us to keep using the
//! // `dyn Super` trait object if we want which can be important if we are casting
//! // movable types like `Box<dyn Trait>`):
//! let foo: &dyn Sub = foo.dyn_cast().ok().unwrap();
//! // Upcasting to a supertrait is infallible:
//! let foo /*: &dyn Super*/ = foo.dyn_upcast::<dyn Super>();
//! ```
//!
//! When implementing the [`DynCast`] trait via the [`impl_dyn_cast`] macro you
//! can also list the created "config" types instead of the source and target
//! traits:
//!
//! ```
//!# use cast_trait_object::{create_dyn_cast_config, impl_dyn_cast, DynCast, DynCastExt};
//!# //
//!# create_dyn_cast_config!(SuperToSubCast = Super => Sub);
//!# create_dyn_cast_config!(SuperUpcast = Super => Super);
//!# trait Super: DynCast<SuperToSubCast> + DynCast<SuperUpcast> {}
//!# trait Sub: Super {}
//!# //
//!# struct Foo;
//!# impl Super for Foo {}
//!# impl Sub for Foo {}
//! impl_dyn_cast!(Foo => SuperToSubCast, SuperUpcast);
//!# //
//!# let foo: &dyn Super = &Foo;
//!# let foo: &dyn Sub = foo.dyn_cast().ok().unwrap();
//!# let foo /*: &dyn Super*/ = foo.dyn_upcast::<dyn Super>();
//! ```
//!
//! If the `proc-macros` feature is enabled (which it is by default) we can also
//! use procedural attribute macros to write a little bit less boilerplate:
//!
//! ```
//!# // Macros rely on items being at `crate::some_name`
//!# #[cfg(feature = "proc-macros")]
//!# use cast_trait_object::*;
//!# //
//!# #[cfg(feature = "proc-macros")]
//!# fn main() { inner::some_fn(); }
//!# #[cfg(not(feature = "proc-macros"))]
//!# fn main() { }
//!# //
//!# #[cfg(feature = "proc-macros")]
//!# mod inner {
//!# pub fn some_fn() {
//! use cast_trait_object::{dyn_cast, dyn_upcast, DynCastExt};
//!
//! #[dyn_cast(Sub)]
//! #[dyn_upcast]
//! trait Super {}
//! trait Sub: Super {}
//!
//! struct Foo;
//! #[dyn_cast(Sub)]
//! #[dyn_upcast]
//! impl Super for Foo {}
//! impl Sub for Foo {}
//!# //
//!# let foo: &dyn Super = &Foo;
//!# let foo: &dyn Sub = foo.dyn_cast().ok().unwrap();
//!# let foo /*: &dyn Super*/ = foo.dyn_upcast::<dyn Super>();
//!# }}
//! ```
//!
//! Note that `#[dyn_upcast]` does the same as `#[dyn_cast(Super)]` but it is a bit
//! clearer about intentions:
//!
//! ```
//!# // Macros rely on items being at `crate::some_name`
//!# #[cfg(feature = "proc-macros")]
//!# use cast_trait_object::*;
//!# //
//!# #[cfg(feature = "proc-macros")]
//!# fn main() { inner::some_fn(); }
//!# #[cfg(not(feature = "proc-macros"))]
//!# fn main() { }
//!# //
//!# #[cfg(feature = "proc-macros")]
//!# mod inner {
//!# pub fn some_fn() {
//! use cast_trait_object::{dyn_cast, DynCastExt};
//!
//! #[dyn_cast(Super, Sub)]
//! trait Super {}
//! trait Sub: Super {}
//!
//! struct Foo;
//! #[dyn_cast(Super, Sub)]
//! impl Super for Foo {}
//! impl Sub for Foo {}
//!
//!# let foo: &dyn Super = &Foo;
//!# let foo: &dyn Sub = foo.dyn_cast().ok().unwrap();
//! let foo: &dyn Sub = &Foo;
//! // Upcasting still works:
//! let foo /*: &dyn Super*/ = foo.dyn_upcast::<dyn Super>();
//!# }}
//! ```
//!
//! # Generics
//!
//! Generics traits and types are supported and both the declarative macros
//! ([`impl_dyn_cast`], [`create_dyn_cast_config`], [`impl_dyn_cast_config`])
//! and the procedural attribute macros ([`dyn_cast`] and [`dyn_upcast`]) can
//! be used with generics.
//!
//! ```
//!# // Macros rely on items being at `crate::some_name`
//!# #[cfg(feature = "proc-macros")]
//!# use cast_trait_object::*;
//!# //
//!# #[cfg(feature = "proc-macros")]
//!# fn main() { inner::some_fn(); }
//!# #[cfg(not(feature = "proc-macros"))]
//!# fn main() { }
//!# //
//!# #[cfg(feature = "proc-macros")]
//!# mod inner {
//!# pub fn some_fn() {
//! use cast_trait_object::{DynCastExt, dyn_cast, dyn_upcast};
//!
//! // Define a source and target trait:
//! #[dyn_cast(Sub<T>)]
//! #[dyn_upcast]
//! trait Super<T> {}
//! trait Sub<T>: Super<T> {}
//!
//! // Since `T` isn't used for `Color` it doesn't need to be `'static`:
//!# #[expect(dead_code, reason = "the fields are never read")]
//! struct Color(u8, u8, u8);
//! #[dyn_cast(Sub<T>)]
//! #[dyn_upcast]
//! impl<T> Super<T> for Color {}
//! impl<T> Sub<T> for Color {}
//!
//! struct Example<T>(T);
//! #[dyn_cast(Sub<T>)]
//! #[dyn_upcast]
//! impl<T: 'static> Super<T> for Example<T> {}
//! impl<T: 'static> Sub<T> for Example<T> {}
//!
//! let as_sub: &dyn Sub<bool> = &Example(false);
//! let upcasted: &dyn Super<bool> = as_sub.dyn_upcast();
//! let _downcasted /*: &dyn Sub<bool> */ = upcasted.dyn_cast::<dyn Sub<bool>>().ok().unwrap();
//!# }}
//! ```
//!
//! Note that one limitation of the current support for generic types is that if
//! the type that implements [`DynCast`] has any generic type parameters then
//! they might need to be constrained to be `'static`.
//!
//! There is also another limitation with generic types and this one can be a bit
//! counter intuitive. The [`DynCast`] implementations that are generated by the
//! macros must always succeed or always fail. This means that if a target trait
//! is only implemented for a subset of the types that the [`DynCast`] trait is
//! implemented for then the cast will always fail.
//!
//! ```
//! use cast_trait_object::{create_dyn_cast_config, impl_dyn_cast, DynCast, DynCastExt};
//!
//! // Define a source and target trait:
//! create_dyn_cast_config!(UpcastConfig = Super => Super);
//! create_dyn_cast_config!(SuperConfig = Super => Sub);
//! trait Super: DynCast<SuperConfig> + DynCast<UpcastConfig> {}
//! trait Sub: Super {}
//!
//! /// Only implements `Sub` for types that implement `Display`.
//! struct OnlyDisplayGeneric<T>(T);
//! impl<T: 'static> Super for OnlyDisplayGeneric<T> {}
//! impl<T: core::fmt::Display + 'static> Sub for OnlyDisplayGeneric<T> {}
//! // The cast to `Sub` will always fail since this impl of DynCast includes
//! // some `T` that don't implement `Display`:
//! impl_dyn_cast!(for<T> OnlyDisplayGeneric<T> as Super where {T: 'static} => Sub);
//! impl_dyn_cast!(for<T> OnlyDisplayGeneric<T> as Super where {T: 'static} => Super);
//!
//! // &str does implement Display:
//! let _is_display: &dyn core::fmt::Display = &"";
//!
//! // But the cast will still fail:
//! let as_super: &dyn Super = &OnlyDisplayGeneric("");
//! assert!(as_super.dyn_cast::<dyn Sub>().is_err());
//!
//! // `OnlyDisplayGeneric<&str>` does implement `Sub`:
//! let as_sub: &dyn Sub = &OnlyDisplayGeneric("");
//!
//! // Note that this means that we can perform an upcast and then fail to downcast:
//! let upcasted: &dyn Super = as_sub.dyn_upcast();
//! assert!(upcasted.dyn_cast::<dyn Sub>().is_err());
//! ```
//!
//! The best way to avoid this problem is to have the same trait bounds on both
//! the source trait implementation and the target trait implementation.
//!
//! # How it works
//!
//! ## How the conversion is preformed
//!
//! Using the [`DynCast`] trait as a supertraits adds a couple of extra methods
//! to a trait object's vtable. These methods all essentially take a pointer to
//! the type and returns a new fat pointer which points to the wanted vtable.
//! There are a couple of methods since we need to generate one for each type of
//! trait object, so one for each of `&dyn Trait`, `&mut dyn Trait`,
//! `Box<dyn Trait>`, `Rc<dyn Trait>` and `Arc<dyn Trait>`. Note that these methods
//! are entirely safe Rust code, this crate doesn't use or generate any unsafe
//! code at all.
//!
//! These methods work something like:
//!
//! ```
//! trait Super {}
//! trait Sub {
//!     fn upcast(self: Box<Self>) -> Box<dyn Super>;
//! }
//!
//! impl Super for () {}
//! impl Sub for () {
//!     fn upcast(self: Box<Self>) -> Box<dyn Super> { self }
//! }
//!
//! let a: Box<dyn Sub> = Box::new(());
//! let a: Box<dyn Super> = a.upcast();
//! ```
//!
//! The [`DynCastExt`] trait then abstracts over the different types of trait
//! objects so that when a call is made using the [dyn_cast](DynCastExt::dyn_cast)
//! method the compiler can inline that static method call to the correct method
//! on the trait object.
//!
//! ## Why "config" types are needed
//!
//! We have to generate "config" types since we need to uniquely identify each
//! [`DynCast`] supertrait based on which trait it is casting from and into.
//! Originally this was just done using two type parameters on the trait, something
//! like `DynCast<dyn Super, dyn Sub>`, but that caused compile errors when they were
//! used as a supertrait of one of the mentioned traits. So now the traits are
//! "hidden" as associated types on a generated "config" type. To make this "config"
//! type more ergonomic we also implement a [`GetDynCastConfig`] trait to easily
//! go from the source trait and target trait to a "config" type via something
//! like `<dyn Source as GetDynCastConfig<dyn Target>>::Config`. This allows
//! the macros ([`impl_dyn_cast`], [`dyn_cast`] and [`dyn_upcast`]) to take traits
//! as arguments instead of "config" types, it also makes type inference work for
//! the [`DynCastExt`] trait.
//!
//! ## How the macros know if a type implements a "target" trait or not
//!
//! When a type implementing [`DynCast`] for a specific config and therefore
//! source to target trait cast the generated code must choose if the cast is
//! going to succeed or not. We want to return `Ok(value as &dyn Target)` if
//! the type implements the `Target` trait and `Err(value as &dyn Source)` if
//! it doesn't.
//!
//! We can use a clever hack to only preform the coercion if a type actually
//! implements the target trait. See dtolnay's [Autoref-based stable specialization](https://github.com/dtolnay/case-studies/tree/master/autoref-specialization)
//! case study for more information about how this hack works. In short the hack
//! allows us to call one method if a trait bound is met and another method if it
//! isn't. In this way we can call a helper method that performs the coercion to
//! the target trait only if the type actually implements that trait.
//!
//! So we could generate something like:
//!
//! ```rust
//! trait Source {}
//! trait Target {}
//!
//! struct Foo;
//! impl Source for Foo {}
//!
//! struct Fallback;
//! impl Fallback {
//!#    #[allow(dead_code)]
//!     fn cast<'a, T: Source>(&self, value: &'a T) -> &'a dyn Source { value }
//! }
//!
//! struct HasTrait<T>(core::marker::PhantomData<T>);
//! impl<T> HasTrait<T> {
//!     fn new() -> Self {
//!          Self(core::marker::PhantomData)
//!     }
//! }
//! impl<T: Target> HasTrait<T> {
//!#    #[allow(dead_code)]
//!     fn cast<'a>(&self, value: &'a T) -> &'a dyn Target { value }
//! }
//! impl<T> core::ops::Deref for HasTrait<T> {
//!     type Target = Fallback;
//!     fn deref(&self) -> &Self::Target {
//!         static FALLBACK: Fallback = Fallback;
//!         &FALLBACK
//!     }
//! }
//!
//! let used_fallback: &dyn Source = HasTrait::<Foo>::new().cast(&Foo);
//! ```
//!
//! So the [`impl_dyn_cast`] macro works by generating a struct that implements
//! [`core::ops::Deref`] into another type. Both types have a `cast` method but
//! they do different things. The first struct's `cast` method has a trait bound
//! so that it is only implemented if the cast can succeed. If the first method
//! can't be used the compiler will insert a deref operation (`&*foo`) and see
//! if there is a method that can apply after that. In this case that means that
//! the `Fallback` structs method is called. This way the generated code doesn't
//! call the method that preform the coercion to the `Target` trait unless the
//! type actually implements it.
//!
//! # Alternatives
//!
//! The [`intertrait`] crate offers similar functionality to this crate but has
//! a totally different implementation, at least as of [`intertrait`] version
//! `0.2.0`. It uses the [`linkme`] crate to create a registry of [`std::any::Any`]
//! type ids for types that can be cast into a certain trait object. This means
//! it probably has some runtime overhead when it looks up a cast function in
//! the global registry using a [`TypeId`]. It also means that it can't work on
//! all platforms since the [`linkme`] crate needs to offer support for them. This
//! is a limitation that this crate doesn't have.
//!
//! The [`traitcast`] crate works similar to [`intertrait`] in that it has a
//! global registry that is keyed with [`TypeId`]s. But it differs in that it
//! uses the [`inventory`] crate to build the registry instead of the [`linkme`]
//! crate. The [`inventory`] crate uses the [`ctor`] crate to run some code before
//! `main`, something that is generally discouraged and this is something that
//! [`intertrait`] actually mentions as an advantage to its approach.
//!
//! The [`traitcast_core`] library allow for a more low level API that doesn't
//! depend on a global registry and therefore also doesn't depend on a crate like
//! [`linkme`] or [`inventory`] that needs platform specific support. Instead it
//! requires that you explicitly create a registry and register all your types
//! and their casts with it.
//!
//! The [`downcast-rs`] crate offers downcasting to concrete types but not
//! directly casting from one trait object to another trait object. So it has a
//! different use case and both it and this crate could be useful in the same
//! project.
//!
//! You could just define methods on your traits similar to the ones provided by
//! this crate's [`DynCast`] trait. Doing this yourself can be more flexible and
//! you could for example minimize bloat by only implementing methods for casts
//! that you actually require. The disadvantage is that it would be much less
//! ergonomic than what this crate offers.
