Struct core::ptr::DynMetadata
source · [−]pub struct DynMetadata<Dyn: ?Sized> { /* private fields */ }
Expand description
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 it 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.
