Currently, it is possible to
Copy
andClone
Js*
types which is unsafe. These types depend on being contained in aHandle
to verify the lifetime. They should only exist as references outside of aHandle
. Unfortunately, the ability to clone allows getting an owned copy from a reference.This change attempts to minimize impact to users by making
Handle<T>
Copy
, while making the innerT
!Copy
. This works by introducing a new marker traitTransparentWrapper
which indicates a type is a transparent wrapper around aTransparentWrapper::Inner
type--allowing transmutation between the two.Using this
trait
,Handle
actually stores aCopy
inner type, while implementingDeref
with aTarget
to the!Copy
outer type.Unfortunately, since
Copy
won't propagate upward from aDeref
, all APIs that currently takeself
on aValue
were changed to take&self
to keep from requiring a manualclone()
. This could still impact users in some places--for example when creating anObject
with a circular reference.
