Struct DataReferenceGeneric

pub struct DataReferenceGeneric { /* private fields */ }

A Genericized version of DataReference<T>

This type can be safely passed around without knowing the inner of a DataReference. DataReferenceGeneric will track ref count just as DataReference, however the innner data cannot be accessed without first converting back into DataReference<T>.

Implements From<DataReference>

Implementations

impl DataReferenceGeneric

pub fn type_id(&self) -> TypeId

The TypeId of the associated DataReference<T>, literally TypeId::of::<DataReference<T>>()

pub fn inner_type_id(&self) -> TypeId

The TypeId of the inner type T of the associated DataReference<T>. If this DataReferenceGeneric is associated with DataReference<T>, this would be the result of TypeId::of::<T>()

pub fn to_typed<T: 'static>(&self) -> Option<DataReference<T>>

For a given type T, create a DataReference<T> if and only if T matches the type that was used to create this DataReferenceGeneric, otherwise None

This increments the ref count if Some is returned
