Trait StaticType

pub unsafe trait StaticType {
    type Ref: ?Sized;

    // Required method
    fn ref_ptr(&self) -> *const Self::Ref;
}

A value that is fixed in memory.

If you implement this you need to guarantee that Self and Ref does not move in memory

Most probably it should be allocated on the heap

Required Associated Types

type Ref: ?Sized

Required Methods

fn ref_ptr(&self) -> *const Self::Ref

the caller of ref_ptr promises to not use the ptr after Self goes out of scope and to use the ptr only to cast to a references
