Trait std::any::Any

1.0.0 · source ·
pub trait Any: 'static {
 fn type_id(&self) -> TypeId;
}
Expand description

A trait to emulate dynamic typing.

Most types implement Any. However, any type which contains a non-'static reference does not. See the module-level documentation for more details.

Required Methods

1.34.0 · source

fn type_id(&self) -> TypeId

Gets the TypeId of self.

Examples
use std::any::{Any, TypeId};
fn is_string(s: &dyn Any) -> bool {
 TypeId::of::<String>() == s.type_id()
}
assert_eq!(is_string(&0), false);
assert_eq!(is_string(&"cookie monster".to_string()), true);

pub fn downcast<T>(self) -> Result<Box<T, A>, Box<dyn Any + 'static, A>> where

Attempt to downcast the box to a concrete type.

Examples
use std::any::Any;
fn print_if_string(value: Box<dyn Any>) {
 if let Ok(string) = value.downcast::<String>() {
 println!("String ({}): {}", string.len(), string);
 }
}

Downcasts the box to a concrete type.

For a safe alternative see downcast.

Examples
#![feature(downcast_unchecked)]
use std::any::Any;
let x: Box<dyn Any> = Box::new(1_usize);
unsafe {
 assert_eq!(*x.downcast_unchecked::<usize>(), 1);
}
Run
Safety

The contained value must be of type T. Calling this method with the incorrect type is undefined behavior.
