Trait StructureType 

pub trait StructureType:
    Any
    + Send
    + Sync {
    // Required methods
    fn get_type_id(&self) -> TypeId;
    fn equals(&self, other: &dyn StructureType) -> bool;
    fn as_any(&self) -> &dyn Any;
    fn hash(&self) -> u64;
    fn clone_unique(&self) -> Box<dyn StructureType>;
    fn get_deserialize_function(
        &self,
    ) -> Box<dyn Fn(u64) -> Box<dyn StructureType>>;
    fn get_serialize_function(
        &self,
    ) -> Box<dyn Fn(Box<dyn StructureType>) -> u64>;
}

The trait for you structure type enum. Needed for proper routing of packets and type safety on serialization/deserialization of data.

You need to create your own structure type for every project.

There are a bunch of functions that already exists, from other traits. They kept manualy due to dyn compatibility.

Required Methods

fn get_type_id(&self) -> TypeId

fn equals(&self, other: &dyn StructureType) -> bool

We don’t use the equals from rust trait, due to need of dyn compatibility

fn as_any(&self) -> &dyn Any

fn hash(&self) -> u64

Only for local use, do not try to use this in serialize functions

fn clone_unique(&self) -> Box<dyn StructureType>

We don’t use the equals from rust trait, due to need of dyn compatibility

fn get_deserialize_function(&self) -> Box<dyn Fn(u64) -> Box<dyn StructureType>>

Returns the pointer to function that deserializes value into the current structure type

fn get_serialize_function(&self) -> Box<dyn Fn(Box<dyn StructureType>) -> u64>

Returns the pointer to function that serializes structure type value into the u64 value.

Dyn Compatibility

This trait is dyn compatible.

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