# ptr_meta
|
|
|
|
A radioactive stabilization of the [`ptr_meta` RFC][rfc].
|
|
|
|
[rfc]: https://rust-lang.github.io/rfcs/2580-ptr-meta.html
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
### Sized types
|
|
|
|
Sized types already have `Pointee` implemented for them, so most of the time you won't have to worry
|
|
about them. However, trying to derive `Pointee` for a struct that may or may not have a DST as its
|
|
last field will cause an implementation conflict with the automatic sized implementation.
|
|
|
|
### `slice`s and `str`s
|
|
|
|
These core types have implementations built in.
|
|
|
|
### Structs with a DST as its last field
|
|
|
|
You can derive `Pointee` for last-field DSTs:
|
|
|
|
```rust
|
|
use ptr_meta::Pointee;
|
|
|
|
#[derive(Pointee)]
|
|
struct Block<H, T> {
|
|
header: H,
|
|
elements: [T],
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Trait objects
|
|
|
|
You can generate a `Pointee` for trait objects:
|
|
|
|
```rust
|
|
use ptr_meta::pointee;
|
|
|
|
// Generates Pointee for dyn Stringy
|
|
#[pointee]
|
|
trait Stringy {
|
|
fn as_string(&self) -> String;
|
|
}
|
|
```
