🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (ptr_metadata)

The metadata for a Dyn = dyn SomeTrait trait object type.

It is a pointer to a vtable (virtual call table) that represents all the necessary information to manipulate the concrete type stored inside a trait object. The vtable notably contains:

• type size
• type alignment
• a pointer to the type’s drop_in_place impl (may be a no-op for plain-old-data)
• pointers to all the methods for the type’s implementation of the trait

Note that the first three are special because they’re necessary to allocate, drop, and deallocate any trait object.

It is possible to name this struct with a type parameter that is not a dyn trait object (for example DynMetadata<u64>) but not to obtain a meaningful value of that struct.

Note that while this type implements PartialEq, comparing vtable pointers is unreliable: pointers to vtables of the same type for the same trait can compare inequal (because vtables are duplicated in multiple codegen units), and pointers to vtables of different types/traits can compare equal (since identical vtables can be deduplicated within a codegen unit).

Trait Implementations

impl<Dyn> Clone for DynMetadata<Dyn>

where Dyn: ?Sized,

fn clone(&self) -> DynMetadata<Dyn>

Returns a copy of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

where Dyn: ?Sized,

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result<(), Error>

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl<Dyn> Hash for DynMetadata<Dyn>

where Dyn: ?Sized,

fn hash<H>(&self, hasher: &mut H)

where H: Hasher,

Feeds this value into the given Hasher.

fn hash_slice<H>(data: &[Self], state: &mut H)

where H: Hasher, Self: Sized,

impl<Dyn> Ord for DynMetadata<Dyn>

where Dyn: ?Sized,

fn cmp(&self, other: &DynMetadata<Dyn>) -> Ordering

This method returns an Ordering between self and other.

fn max(self, other: Self) -> Self

where Self: Sized,

Compares and returns the maximum of two values.

fn min(self, other: Self) -> Self

where Self: Sized,

Compares and returns the minimum of two values.

fn clamp(self, min: Self, max: Self) -> Self

where Self: Sized + PartialOrd,

impl<Dyn> PartialEq for DynMetadata<Dyn>

where Dyn: ?Sized,

fn eq(&self, other: &DynMetadata<Dyn>) -> bool

Tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

fn partial_cmp(&self, other: &DynMetadata<Dyn>) -> Option<Ordering>

This method returns an ordering between self and other values if one exists.

fn lt(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests less than (for self and other) and is used by the < operator.

fn le(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests less than or equal to (for self and other) and is used by the <= operator.

fn gt(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests greater than (for self and other) and is used by the > operator.

fn ge(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool
