    // Provided method
    fn is_class_defined<T>(&self) -> bool
       where T: Any { ... }
}

Define and store class specs on an interpreter.

A class spec is a static set of information the interpreter requires to define a Ruby Class object.

Required Associated Types

type Value

Concrete value type for boxed Ruby values.

type Error

Concrete error type for errors encountered when manipulating the class registry.

type Spec: 'static

Type representing a class specification.

Required Methods

fn def_class<T>(&mut self, spec: Self::Spec) -> Result<(), Self::Error>

where T: Any,

Create a class definition bound to a Rust type T.

Class definitions have the same lifetime as the interpreter.

Errors

If the class registry state is inaccessible, an error is returned.

fn class_spec<T>(&self) -> Result<Option<&Self::Spec>, Self::Error>

where T: Any,

Retrieve a class definition from the state bound to Rust type T.

This function returns None if type T has not had a class spec registered for it using ClassRegistry::def_class.

Errors

If the class registry state is inaccessible, an error is returned.

fn class_of<T>(&mut self) -> Result<Option<Self::Value>, Self::Error>

where T: Any,

Retrieve a boxed Ruby value containing a Class object for the Class bound to Rust type T.

If the interpreter cannot find or load a class associated with T, Ok(None) is returned.

Errors

If the class registry state is inaccessible, an error is returned.

fn new_instance<T>( &mut self, args: &[Self::Value], ) -> Result<Option<Self::Value>, Self::Error>

where T: Any,

Create a new instance of the class bound to the Rust type T.

This method resolves the class referenced by the type T and calls new on this Ruby class with the given arguments.

If the interpreter cannot find or load a class associated with T, Ok(None) is returned.

Errors

If the class registry state is inaccessible, an error is returned.

If an exception is raised on the interpreter, then an error is returned.

Provided Methods

fn is_class_defined<T>(&self) -> bool

where T: Any,

Retrieve whether a class definition exists from the state bound to Rust type T.

Errors

If the class registry state is inaccessible, an error is returned.

Dyn Compatibility

This trait is not dyn compatible.

In older versions of Rust, dyn compatibility was called "object safety", so this trait is not object safe.
