Expand description
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 dyn_hash::DynHash;
trait MyTrait: DynHash {
/* ... */
}
// Implement std::hash::Hash for dyn MyTrait
dyn_hash::hash_trait_object!(MyTrait);
// Now data structures containing Box<dyn MyTrait> can derive Hash:
#[derive(Hash)]
struct Container {
trait_object: Box<dyn MyTrait>,
}
Without the dyn-hash crate, a trait trait MyTrait: std::hash::Hash {...}
would not be dyn-compatible (dyn MyTrait
).
error[E0038]: the trait `MyTrait` is not dyn compatible
--> src/main.rs:7:12

7 | let _: &dyn MyTrait;
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^ `MyTrait` is not dyn compatible

note: for a trait to be dyn compatible it needs to allow building a vtable

| fn hash<H: Hasher>(&self, state: &mut H);
