Subject: [PATCH v2 1/6] rust: io: turn IoCapable into a functional trait
Date: Fri, 06 Feb 2026 15:00:15 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260206-io-v2-1-71dea20a06e6@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260206-io-v2-0-71dea20a06e6@nvidia.com>
`IoCapable<T>` is currently used as a marker trait to signal that the
methods of the `Io` trait corresponding to `T` have been overridden by
the implementor (the default implementations triggering a build-time
error).
This goes against the DRY principle and separates the signaling of the
capability from its implementation, making it possible to forget a step
while implementing a new `Io`.
Another undesirable side-effect is that it makes the implementation of
I/O backends boilerplate-y and convoluted: currently this is done using
two levels of imbricated macros that generate unsafe code.
Fix these issues by turning `IoCapable` into a functional trait that
includes the raw implementation of the I/O access for `T` using
unsafe methods that work with an arbitrary address.
This allows us to turn the default methods of `Io` into regular methods
that check the passed offset, turn it into an address, and call into the
corresponding `IoCapable` functions, removing the need to overload them
at all.
`IoCapable` must still be implemented for all supported primitive types,
which is still done more concisely using a macro, but this macro becomes
much simpler and does not require calling into another one.
