/*! ## Casting from `Any` In the standard library, the std::any::Any trait comes with downcast methods which let you cast from an `Any` trait object to a concrete type. ```rust let x: i32 = 7; let y: &dyn std::any::Any = &x; // Cast to i32 succeeds because x: i32 assert_eq!(y.downcast_ref::<i32>(), Some(&7)); // Cast to f32 fails assert_eq!(y.downcast_ref::<f32>(), None); ``` However, it is not possible to downcast to a trait object. ```compile_fail trait Foo { fn foo(&self) -> i32; } struct A { x: i32 } impl Foo for A { fn foo(&self) -> i32 { self.x } } let x = A { x: 7 }; let y: &dyn std::any::Any = &x; // This cast is not possible, because it is only possible to cast to types that // are Sized. Among other things, this precludes trait objects. let z: Option<&dyn Foo> = y.downcast_ref(); ``` ## Traitcast This library provides a way of casting between different trait objects. ```rust use traitcast::{TraitcastFrom, TraitcastTo, Traitcast}; // Extending `TraitcastFrom` is optional. This allows `Foo` objects themselves // to be cast to other trait objects. If you do not extend `TraitcastFrom`, // then Foo may only be cast into, not out of. trait Foo: TraitcastFrom { fn foo(&self) -> i32; } // Invoking `traitcast_to_trait!` implements TraitcastTo for this Foo, allowing // other trait objects to be cast into Foo trait objects. traitcast::traitcast_to_trait!(Foo, Foo_Traitcast); trait Bar: TraitcastFrom { fn bar(&mut self) -> i32; } traitcast::traitcast_to_trait!(Bar, Bar_Traitcast); struct A { x: i32 } // No implementation of TraitcastFrom is necessary, because it is covered by // the blanket impl for any sized type with a static lifetime. impl Foo for A { fn foo(&self) -> i32 { self.x } } impl Bar for A { fn bar(&mut self) -> i32 { self.x *= 2; self.x } } // Register the traits. // For each struct that implements each trait, register the implementation. traitcast::traitcast_to_impl!(Foo, A); traitcast::traitcast_to_impl!(Bar, A); fn main() { let mut x = A { x: 7 }; { let x: &dyn Foo = &x; // Test whether x is of a type that implements Bar. assert!(traitcast::implements_trait::<dyn Foo, dyn Bar>(x)); } { let x: &dyn Bar = &x; // Cast an immutable reference using the `cast_ref` method (via the // `Traitcast` trait, which is blanket implemented for all pairs of // traits that may be cast between). let x: &dyn Foo = x.cast_ref().unwrap(); assert_eq!(x.foo(), 7); // We can also cast using the top-level `cast_ref` function, which can // be more convenient when type arguments cannot be inferred. assert!(traitcast::cast_ref::<dyn Foo, dyn Bar>(x).is_some()); } { let x: &mut dyn Foo = &mut x; // Cast a mutable reference using the `cast_mut` method let x: &mut dyn Bar = x.cast_mut().unwrap(); assert_eq!(x.bar(), 14); } { // We can cast from `Any` too! let y: Box<dyn std::any::Any> = Box::new(x); // Cast a boxed reference let z: Box<dyn Foo> = y.cast_box().unwrap(); assert_eq!(z.foo(), 14); } } ``` */ use std::any::Any; pub mod private; #[cfg(test)] pub mod tests; use private::get_impl_table; /// Subtraits of `TraitcastFrom` may be cast into `dyn Any`, and thus may be /// cast into any other castable dynamic trait object, too.
