Trait GenericGeneration 

pub trait GenericGeneration {
    // Required methods
    fn from_untyped_generation(generation: Generation) -> Self
       where Self: Sized;
    fn into_untyped_generation(self) -> Generation
       where Self: Sized;
    fn as_untyped_generation(&self) -> &Generation;
}

A trait abstracting over typed and untyped generation numbers.

This can be used to write code that’s generic over TypedGeneration, Generation, and other types that may wrap TypedGeneration (due to e.g. orphan rules).

This trait is similar to From, but a bit harder to get wrong – in general, the conversion from and to untyped generation numbers should be careful and explicit.

Required Methods

fn from_untyped_generation(generation: Generation) -> Self

where Self: Sized,

Creates a new instance of Self from an untyped Generation.

fn into_untyped_generation(self) -> Generation

where Self: Sized,

Converts self into an untyped Generation.

fn as_untyped_generation(&self) -> &Generation

Returns the inner Generation.

Generally, into_untyped_generation should be preferred. However, in some cases it may be necessary to use this method to satisfy lifetime constraints.

Dyn Compatibility

This trait is dyn compatible.

In older versions of Rust, dyn compatibility was called "object safety".
