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
.
fn into_any_rc(self: Rc<Self>) -> Rc<dyn Any + 'static>
fn into_any_rc(self: Rc<Self>) -> Rc<dyn Any + 'static>
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.
fn as_any_mut(&mut self) -> &mut (dyn Any + 'static)
fn as_any_mut(&mut self) -> &mut (dyn Any + 'static)
Convert &mut Trait
(where Trait: Downcast
) to &Any
. This is needed since Rust cannot
generate &mut Any
’s vtable from &mut Trait
’s.
