Trait otter_api_tests::Downcast[]

pub trait Downcast: Any {

Notable traits for Box<R, Global>

impl<R> Read for Box<R, Global> where
    R: Read + ?Sized
impl<W> Write for Box<W, Global> where
    W: Write + ?Sized
impl<I, A> Iterator for Box<I, A> where
    A: Allocator,
    I: Iterator + ?Sized
type Item = <I as Iterator>::Item;impl<F, A> Future for Box<F, A> where
    A: Allocator + 'static,
    F: Future + Unpin + ?Sized
type Output = <F as Future>::Output;

fn as_any(&self) -> &(dyn Any + 'static);
fn as_any_mut(&mut self) -> &mut (dyn Any + 'static); }
Expand description

Supports conversion to Any. Traits to be extended by impl_downcast! must extend Downcast.

Required methods

Convert Box<dyn Trait> (where Trait: Downcast) to Box<dyn Any>. Box<dyn Any> can then be further downcast into Box<ConcreteType> where ConcreteType implements Trait.

Convert Rc<Trait> (where Trait: Downcast) to Rc<Any>. Rc<Any> can then be further downcast into Rc<ConcreteType> where ConcreteType implements Trait.

Convert &Trait (where Trait: Downcast) to &Any. This is needed since Rust cannot generate &Any’s vtable from &Trait’s.

Convert &mut Trait (where Trait: Downcast) to &Any. This is needed since Rust cannot generate &mut Any’s vtable from &mut Trait’s.
