# `arbitrary_self_types_pointers` | ||
|
||
The tracking issue for this feature is: [#44874] | ||
|
||
[#38788]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/44874 | ||
|
||
------------------------ | ||
|
||
This extends the [arbitrary self types] feature to allow methods to | ||
receive `self` by pointer. For example: | ||
|
||
```rust | ||
#![feature(arbitrary_self_types_pointers)] | ||
|
||
struct A; | ||
|
||
impl A { | ||
fn m(self: *const Self) {} | ||
} | ||
|
||
fn main() { | ||
let a = A; | ||
let a_ptr: *const A = &a as *const A; | ||
a_ptr.m(); | ||
} | ||
``` | ||
|
||
In general this is not advised: it's thought to be better practice to wrap | ||
raw pointers in a newtype wrapper which implements the `core::ops::Receiver` | ||
trait, then you need "only" the `arbitrary_self_types` feature. For example: | ||
|
||
```rust | ||
#![feature(arbitrary_self_types)] | ||
#![allow(dead_code)] | ||
|
||
struct A; | ||
|
||
impl A { | ||
fn m(self: Wrapper<Self>) {} // can extract the pointer and do | ||
// what it needs | ||
} | ||
|
||
struct Wrapper<T>(*const T); | ||
|
||
impl<T> core::ops::Receiver for Wrapper<T> { | ||
type Target = T; | ||
} | ||
|
||
fn main() { | ||
let a = A; | ||
let a_ptr: *const A = &a as *const A; | ||
let a_wrapper = Wrapper(a_ptr); | ||
a_wrapper.m(); | ||
} | ||
``` | ||

# `arbitrary_self_types` | ||
|
||
The tracking issue for this feature is: [#44874] | ||
|
||
[#38788]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/44874 | ||
|
||
------------------------ | ||
|
||
Allows any type implementing `core::ops::Receiver<Target=T>` to be used as the type | ||
of `self` in a method belonging to `T`. | ||
|
||
For example, | ||
|
||
```rust | ||
#![feature(arbitrary_self_types)] | ||
|
||
struct A; | ||
|
||
impl A { | ||
fn f(self: SmartPtr<Self>) -> i32 { 1 } // note self type | ||
} | ||
|
||
struct SmartPtr<T>(T); | ||
|
||
impl<T> core::ops::Receiver for SmartPtr<T> { | ||
type Target = T; | ||
} | ||
|
||
fn main() { | ||
let smart_ptr = SmartPtr(A); | ||
assert_eq!(smart_ptr.f(), 1); | ||
} | ||
``` | ||
|
||
The `Receiver` trait has a blanket implementation for all `T: Deref`, so in fact | ||
things like this work too: | ||
|
||
```rust | ||
#![feature(arbitrary_self_types)] | ||
|
||
use std::rc::Rc; | ||
|
||
struct A; | ||
|
||
impl A { | ||
fn f(self: Rc<Self>) -> i32 { 1 } // Rc implements Deref | ||
} | ||
|
||
fn main() { | ||
let smart_ptr = Rc::new(A); | ||
assert_eq!(smart_ptr.f(), 1); | ||
} | ||
``` | ||
|
||
Interestingly, that works even without the `arbitrary_self_types` feature | ||
- but that's because certain types are _effectively_ hard coded, including | ||
`Rc`. ("Hard coding" isn't quite true; they use a lang-item called | ||
`LegacyReceiver` to denote their special-ness in this way). With the | ||
`arbitrary_self_types` feature, their special-ness goes away, and custom | ||
smart pointers can achieve the same. | ||
|
||
## Changes to method lookup | ||
|
||
Method lookup previously used to work by stepping through the `Deref` | ||
chain then using the resulting list of steps in two different ways: | ||
|
||
* To identify types that might contribute methods via their `impl` | ||
blocks (inherent methods) or via traits | ||
* To identify the types that the method receiver (`a` in the above | ||
examples) can be converted to. | ||
|
||
With this feature, these lists are created by instead stepping through | ||
the `Receiver` chain. However, a note is kept about whether the type | ||
can be reached also via the `Deref` chain. | ||
|
||
The full chain (via `Receiver` hops) is used for the first purpose | ||
(identifying relevant `impl` blocks and traits); whereas the shorter | ||
list (reachable via `Deref`) is used for the second purpose. That's | ||
because, to convert the method target (`a` in `a.b()`) to the self | ||
type, Rust may need to be able to use `Deref::deref`. Type conversions, | ||
then, can only proceed as far as the end of the `Deref` chain whereas | ||
the longer `Receiver` chain can be used to explore more places where | ||
useful methods might reside. | ||
|
||
## Types suitable for use as smart pointers | ||
|
||
This feature allows the creation of customised smart pointers - for example | ||
your own equivalent to `Rc` or `Box` with whatever capabilities you like. | ||
Those smart pointers can either implement `Deref` (if it's safe to | ||
create a reference to the referent) or `Receiver` (if it isn't). | ||
|
||
Either way, smart pointer types should mostly _avoid having methods_. | ||
Calling methods on a smart pointer leads to ambiguity about whether you're | ||
aiming for a method on the pointer, or on the referent. | ||
|
||
Best practice is therefore to put smart pointer functionality into | ||
associated functions instead - that's what's done in all the smart pointer | ||
types within Rust's standard library which implement `Receiver`. | ||
|
||
If you choose to add any methods to your smart pointer type, your users | ||
may run into errors from deshadowing, as described in the next section. | ||
|
||
## Avoiding shadowing | ||
|
||
With or without this feature, Rust emits an error if it finds two method | ||
candidates, like this: | ||
|
||
```rust,compile_fail | ||
use std::pin::Pin; | ||
use std::pin::pin; | ||
struct A; | ||
impl A { | ||
fn get_ref(self: Pin<&A>) {} | ||
} | ||
fn main() { | ||
let pinned_a: Pin<&A> = pin!(A).as_ref(); | ||
let pinned_a: Pin<&A> = pinned_a.as_ref(); | ||
pinned_a.get_ref(); // error[E0034]: multiple applicable items in scope | ||
} | ||
``` | ||
|
||
(this is why Rust's smart pointers are mostly carefully designed to avoid | ||
having methods at all, and shouldn't add new methods in future.) | ||
|
||
With `arbitrary_self_types`, we take care to spot some other kinds of | ||
conflict: | ||
|
||
```rust,compile_fail | ||
#![feature(arbitrary_self_types)] | ||
use std::pin::Pin; | ||
use std::pin::pin; | ||
struct A; | ||
impl A { | ||
fn get_ref(self: &Pin<&A>) {} // note &Pin | ||
} | ||
fn main() { | ||
let pinned_a: Pin<&mut A> = pin!(A); | ||
let pinned_a: Pin<&A> = pinned_a.as_ref(); | ||
pinned_a.get_ref(); | ||
} | ||
``` | ||
|
||
This is to guard against the case where an inner (referent) type has a | ||
method of a given name, taking the smart pointer by reference, and then | ||
the smart pointer implementer adds a similar method taking self by value. | ||
As noted in the previous section, the safe option is simply | ||
not to add methods to smart pointers, and then these errors can't occur. |
