Expand description

Data, emphatically: an atom declares a wire encoding because it must cross a channel as a message payload. What cannot encode is a capability, and capabilities are addresses.

Required Methods§

Source

fn type_name(&self) -> &'static str

Wire tag and registry key, stable across processes. Table indices are process-local, names are not.

Source

fn eq_atom(&self, other: &dyn HostType) -> bool

Implementations downcast and return false on a foreign type rather than comparing tags.

Source

fn encode(&self, out: &mut Vec<u8>)

Source

fn as_any(&self) -> &dyn Any
