!Sized support
Ten0 opened this issue · comments
Arc does not have a Sized requirement for its use, however due to a lacking ?Sized bound on impl RefCnt for Arc, this library can't be used to store e.g. ArcSwap<dyn Config>.
Is there a technical limitation that prevents this? Or could it be implemented?
I haven't found it in the documentation though
It is indeed a bit buried in there. But AFAIK this is not the first thing someone coming to the crate needs to know.

It would be great if the crate could somehow supply an error hint when that happens, but I don't know of a way to do that :-|

Unfortunately that feature does not exist. This is something Diesel has been looking for for a while as well.
The feature doesn't, but I wouldn't be too surprised if someone came up with a hack, like making the compiler output something like types don't match, expected: WeDontSupportUnsizedSeeTheDocsWhy 😈
