This PR adds support for dynamically sized types by allowing links to be embedded directly instead of strictly through a
Linked
wrapper. Note that after this change, any generics are no longer implicitly wrapped inLinked<T>
. For example, any instances ofretire(ptr, reclaim::boxed::<T>)
must be changed toretire(ptr, reclaim::boxed::<Linked<T>>)
. Fortunately, because of the newAsLink
bounds, the previous example will result in a compiler error. However, any calls tolink.cast()
(previously callingLink::cast
) will be silently converted toptr.cast()
, and need to be updated to account for theLinked
wrapper.Closes #8.
