Trait shadow_shim_helper_rs::util::NoTypeInference

pub trait NoTypeInference {
    type This;
}

A trait to prevent type inference during function calls.

Useful when you have a type that wraps a pointer (like ForeignArrayPtr) and you don’t want Rust to infer the type of pointer during creation. Instead, the caller must specify the generic type.

Example:

let x: ForeignArrayPtr<u8>;

// normally the `<u8>` wouldn't be required since Rust would infer it from the type of `x`, but
// for this function using [`NoTypeInference`], the `<u8>` is required and must match
x = ForeignArrayPtr::new::<u8>(...);
