Hash trait that is object-safe
This crate provides a DynHash
trait that can be used in trait objects. Types
that implement the standard library's std::hash::Hash
trait are
automatically usable by a DynHash
trait object.
Example
use DynHash;
// Implement std::hash::Hash for dyn MyTrait
hash_trait_object!;
// Now data structures containing Box<dyn MyTrait> can derive Hash:
Without the dyn-hash crate, a trait trait MyTrait: std::hash::Hash {...}
would
not be object-safe (dyn MyTrait
).
error[E0038]: the trait `MyTrait` cannot be made into an object

7 | let _: &dyn MyTrait;
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^ `MyTrait` cannot be made into an object

note: for a trait to be "object safe" it needs to allow building a vtable to allow the call to be resolvable dynamically; for more information visit <https://doc.rust-lang.org/reference/items/traits.html#object-safety>

| fn hash<H: Hasher>(&self, state: &mut H);
| ^^^^ ...because method `hash` has generic type parameters
