Inline dyn

A relatively simple example wrapper working (kinda) as a by-value dyn Trait.

Limitations:

  • The wrapper size is fixed. The content either fits, or it doesn’t compile.
  • Supporting each trait requires a bit of code, as there is no way to express “for each trait X” in Rust.
  • Like with Box<dyn _>, you can’t call by-value methods on the content.
  • Requires unstable features (notably ptr_metadata, others are probably avoidable).
  • unsafe here, unsafe there, unsafe everywhere! (It does pass Miri though).
