Static unique domains
MatthewPomes-Eaton opened this issue · comments
The current implementation of the unique_domain
macro makes it impossible to assign such a domain to a static variable.
Ideally, I'd like to be able to write something like this:
static GLOBAL_DOMAIN: Domain<_> = unique_domain!();
However, Rust doesn't support wildcards in const/static types, and for I can't name the family type.
One simple solution would be to provide a similar macro for declaring static domains, which would look like this:
unique_domain!(static GLOBAL_DOMAIN);
Since the macro can name the family type, this doesn't pose any issues. I'd be happy to submit a PR if this is a desired feature.
That sounds like a great idea! I think there are some details to be worked out, but probably easiest to do so via a PR so we can talk about the actual code. We'll probably want to have two different macros, one for producing a value and one for producing a type, but that we can also take in the PR!
