An attempt was made to implement Drop
on a specialization of a generic type. An example is shown below:
trait Foo{} struct MyStruct<T> { t: T } impl<T: Foo> Drop for MyStruct<T> { fn drop(&mut self) {} }
This code is not legal: it is not possible to specialize Drop
to a subset of implementations of a generic type. In order for this code to work, MyStruct
must also require that T
implements Foo
. Alternatively, another option is to wrap the generic type in another that specializes appropriately:
trait Foo{} struct MyStruct<T> { t: T } struct MyStructWrapper<T: Foo> { t: MyStruct<T> } impl <T: Foo> Drop for MyStructWrapper<T> { fn drop(&mut self) {} }
