Problem
We'd like to expand the functionality of
BTreeMap
to support unbounded types. To add this support in a backward-compatible way, theBTreeMap
would need to support both bounded types (i.e. types that implementBoundedStorable
) and unbounded types (i.e. types that don't implementBoundedStorable
).Rust doesn't support generic specializations, so we cannot have the same
BTreeMap
support both use-cases simultaneously. It can either support onlyBoundedStorable
types, or all types implementingStorable
, but without the knowledge of whether aBoundedStorable
implementation is available for those types.Solution
Merge
BoundedStorable
andStorable
into the same trait. The one downside of this approach is that checking whether or not a bound exists now happens at run-time.This impacts the developer experience. Prior to the PR, if you try to store a
String
inside aStableVec
, the compiler will complain thatString
doesn’t implementBoundedStorable
. But, with this solution, it’ll happily compile, and only when you run your code will you see a panic thatString
is not bounded.This PR relates to #84 and #69.
