QUESTION
I want to read a stream of values for multiple files on disc. These might be CSV files, or tab-separated, or some proprietary binary format. Therefore I want my function that handles reading multiple files to take the Path -> Iterator
function as an argument. If I understand correctly, in Rust I need to box the iterator, and the function itself, since they're unsized. Therefore my reading function should be (I'm just using i32
as a simple proxy for my data here):
ANSWER
Answered 2021-Nov-08 at 18:39Pointers to dynamically sized types (DSTs) like Box>
are "fat". A Box>
is not a pointer to a DST (as the size of IntoIter
is known), and hence can be a "thin" pointer simply pointing to the instance of IntoIter
on the heap.
The creation and usage of a fat pointer is more expensive than that of a thin pointer. This is why, as @Aplet123 mentioned, you need to explicitly tell the compiler somehow (via type annotations or an as
cast) that you want to cast the thin Box>
pointer generated by your closure to a fat Box>
pointer.
Note that if you remove the let
binding and create the closure in the argument list of the foo
function call, then the compiler makes the closure must return a fat pointer because of the argument type expected by foo
.
