Subject: [PATCH v4 4/5] rust: types: ForeignOwnable: Add type Target
Date: Thu, 26 Jun 2025 22:00:42 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250626200054.243480-5-dakr@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250626200054.243480-1-dakr@kernel.org>
ForeignOwnable::Target defines the payload data of a ForeignOwnable. For
Arc<T> for instance, ForeignOwnable::Target would just be T.
This is useful for cases where a trait bound is required on the target
type of the ForeignOwnable. For instance:
fn example<P>(data: P)
where
P: ForeignOwnable,
P::Target: MyTrait,
{}
