# [−][src]Trait std::marker::Unsize

    #[lang = "unsize"]
    pub trait Unsize<T> where
        T: ?Sized, { }

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (`unsize` #27732)

Types that can be "unsized" to a dynamically-sized type.

For example, the sized array type `[i8; 2]` implements `Unsize<[i8]>` and `Unsize<fmt::Debug>`.

All implementations of `Unsize` are provided automatically by the compiler.

`Unsize` is implemented for:

- `[T; N]` is `Unsize<[T]>`
- `T` is `Unsize<Trait>` when `T: Trait`
- `Foo<..., T, ...>` is `Unsize<Foo<..., U, ...>>` if:
  - `T: Unsize<U>`
  - Foo is a struct
  - Only the last field of `Foo` has a type involving `T`
  - `T` is not part of the type of any other fields
  - `Bar<T>: Unsize<Bar<U>>`, if the last field of `Foo` has type `Bar<T>`

`Unsize` is used along with `ops::CoerceUnsized` to allow "user-defined" containers such as `rc::Rc` to contain dynamically-sized types. See the DST coercion RFC and the nomicon entry on coercion for more details.

## Search Tricks

Prefix searches with a type followed by a colon (e.g., `fn:`) to restrict the search to a given type.

Accepted types are: `fn`, `mod`, `struct`, `enum`, `trait`, `type`, `macro`, and `const`.

Search functions by type signature (e.g., `vec -> usize` or `* -> vec`)

Search multiple things at once by splitting your query with comma (e.g., `str,u8` or `String,struct:Vec,test`)
