Arc Trait

arc_trait is a procedural macro that simplifies the process of implementing traits for std::sync::Arc<T>. By applying this macro to a trait, you enable Arc<T> to implement it whenever the inner type T implements the trait, saving you from writing repetitive boilerplate code.

Features

  • Automatically implements a trait for std::sync::Arc<T> types.
  • Simplifies code and reduces boilerplate.
  • Easy to use with simple attribute-based syntax.

Installation

Add this to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
arc_trait = "0.1.0"

And this to your crate root:

extern crate arc_trait;
use arc_trait::arc_trait;

Usage

Apply the arc_trait attribute to your traits as shown in the example:

extern crate arc_trait;
use arc_trait::arc_trait;
use std::sync::Arc;

#[arc_trait]
trait ExampleTrait {
    fn example_method(&self, value: i32) -> i32;
}

struct Example;

impl ExampleTrait for Example {
    fn example_method(&self, value: i32) -> i32 {
        value + 1
    }
}

fn main() {
    let example = Arc::new(Example);
    assert_eq!(example.example_method(1), 2);
}

How It Works

arc_trait works by:

  • Parsing the given trait to identify all methods within it.
  • Generating an implementation of the trait for std::sync::Arc<T> that forwards method calls to the inner value wrapped by the Arc.
