//! This module implements the `Any` trait, which enables dynamic typing
|
|
//! of any `'static` type through runtime reflection.
|
|
//!
|
|
//! `Any` itself can be used to get a `TypeId`, and has more features when used
|
|
//! as a trait object. As `&dyn Any` (a borrowed trait object), it has the `is`
|
|
//! and `downcast_ref` methods, to test if the contained value is of a given type,
|
|
//! and to get a reference to the inner value as a type. As `&mut dyn Any`, there
|
|
//! is also the `downcast_mut` method, for getting a mutable reference to the
|
|
//! inner value. `Box<dyn Any>` adds the `downcast` method, which attempts to
|
|
//! convert to a `Box<T>`. See the [`Box`] documentation for the full details.
|
|
//!
|
|
//! Note that `&dyn Any` is limited to testing whether a value is of a specified
|
|
//! concrete type, and cannot be used to test whether a type implements a trait.
|
|
//!
|
|
//! [`Box`]: ../../std/boxed/struct.Box.html
|
|
//!
|
|
//! # Examples
|
|
//!
|
|
//! Consider a situation where we want to log out a value passed to a function.
|
|
//! We know the value we're working on implements Debug, but we don't know its
|
|
//! concrete type. We want to give special treatment to certain types: in this
|
|
//! case printing out the length of String values prior to their value.
|
|
//! We don't know the concrete type of our value at compile time, so we need to
|
|
//! use runtime reflection instead.
|
|
//!
|
|
//! ```rust
|
|
//! use std::fmt::Debug;
|
|
//! use std::any::Any;
|
|
//!
|
|
//! // Logger function for any type that implements Debug.
|
|
//! fn log<T: Any + Debug>(value: &T) {
|
|
//! let value_any = value as &dyn Any;
|
|
//!
|
|
//! // Try to convert our value to a `String`. If successful, we want to
|
|
//! // output the String`'s length as well as its value. If not, it's a
|
|
//! // different type: just print it out unadorned.
|
|
//! match value_any.downcast_ref::<String>() {
|
|
//! Some(as_string) => {
|
|
//! println!("String ({}): {}", as_string.len(), as_string);
|
|
//! }
|
|
//! None => {
|
|
//! println!("{:?}", value);
|
|
//! }
|
|
//! }
|
|
//! }
|
|
//!
|
|
//! // This function wants to log its parameter out prior to doing work with it.
|
|
//! fn do_work<T: Any + Debug>(value: &T) {
|
|
//! log(value);
|
|
//! // ...do some other work
|
|
//! }
|
|
//!
|
|
//! fn main() {
|
|
//! let my_string = "Hello World".to_string();
|
|
//! do_work(&my_string);
|

|
|
//! let my_i8: i8 = 100;
