dyn-loader 0.4.0

//! # dyn — Rust fat-pointer bridge for trait objects
//!
//! Load trait objects from `.so`/`.dylib` plugins using Rust's native
//! fat-pointer representation (data pointer + vtable pointer), wrapped with
//! Arc-like retain/release for cross-boundary memory safety.
//!
//! - **AbiDynFatPtr**: ABI-stable representation of a Rust fat pointer,
//!   `#[repr(C)]` for C ABI compatibility.
//! - **AbiStableDynRef**: fat pointer + retain/release function pointers.
//! - **SafeArcDyn<T>**: safe, cloneable handle over an `AbiStableDynRef`.
//! - **DynPlugin<T>**: loaded plugin dereferencing to `&T`.
//!
//! ## Usage
//!
//! ```ignore
//! // In the plugin .so:
//! #[no_mangle]
//! pub extern "C" fn core_ast_transform_entry() -> AbiStableDynRef {
//!     SafeArcDyn::from_arc(Arc::new(MyTransform) as Arc<dyn Transform>).into_abi()
//! }
//!
//! // In the host:
//! use dyn_loader::dyn_mod::{DynPlugin, AbiStableDynRef, SafeArcDyn};
//! let plugin = DynPlugin::<dyn Transform>::load("libmy_transform.so", b"core_ast_transform_entry\0")?;
//! let transform: &dyn Transform = plugin.trait_ref();
//! ```
