Crate dync

Overview

This crate aims to fill the gap in Rust's dynamic traits system by exposing the control over dynamic virtual function tables to the user in a safe API. Below is a list of capabilities unlocked by dync.

• Create homogeneous untyped Vecs that store a single virtual function table for all contained elements. This functionality is enabled by the traits feature. For more details see vec_dyn.

Re-exports

pub use downcast_rs as downcast;

pub use index_slice::*;

Modules

index_slice
macros	Utility macros for code generation.
traits	This module defines the function pointers for supported traits from the standard library.

Macros

call_numeric_buffer_fn	Applies $fn to an VecCopy mapping valid numeric data types by corresponding generic parameters. For example, passing an VecCopy containing data of type u8 will cause this macro to call $fn with type parameter u8 like $fn::<u8>(buffer).
eval_align
from_dyn	Convert a given container with a dynamic vtable to a concrete type.
into_dyn	Convert a given container type (e.g. VecCopy or SliceDyn) to have a dynamic VTable.

Structs

CopyValueMut	A generic mutable Copy value reference.
CopyValueRef	A generic value reference to a Copy type.
Meta	Defines a meta struct containing information about a type but not the type itself.
Slice
SliceCopy
SliceCopyMut
SliceMut
Value
ValueMut	A generic mutable value reference into a buffer.
ValueRef	A generic value reference into a buffer.
VecCopy	Buffer of untyped Copy values.
VecDyn

Enums

Error
VTableRef	A VTable reference type.

Traits

CopyElem
DropAsAligned
Elem
GetBytesMut
GetBytesRef
VTable	VTable defines a type that represents a virtual function table for some type T.
