Trait pasture_core::layout::PointType

pub trait PointType: Copy + Clone + NoUninit + AnyBitPattern {
    // Required method
    fn layout() -> PointLayout;
}

Trait that marks a Rust type for usage as a type in which point data can be stored. This trait allows the mapping between Rust types at compile time and the dynamic PointLayout type. You will almost never want to implement PointType manually! Prefer to use the #[derive(PointType)] procedural macro!

Required Methods

fn layout() -> PointLayout

Returns the associated PointLayout that describes the type implementing this trait.

Note: This returns the PointLayout by value, even though it is a ‘One instance per type’ kind of object. There is an interesting discussion regarding this topic here. The essence seems to be that per-type static variables are not supported because of potential issues with dll linking on Windows. So for now we stick to returning the PointLayout by value, instead of a potentially more efficient &'static PointLayout

Object Safety

This trait is not object safe.
