# typeless

`unsafe` API for type erasure on the stack

## Usage

Add the following to your `Cargo.toml`

```toml
[dependencies]
typeless = "0.1"
```

Storing any value `x` of type `T` in `TypeErased` completely destroys all type data associated
with it.

## Restrictions

While this erases all type data, leaving only the pure bytes, the compiler still requires 2
things:

- Size: The size of a `TypeErased` is not based on the data it contains, but
  rather a const generic parameter `C`, effectively a "maximum size" on the types it can contain.

- Alignment: Until there is a way to define alignment by a const parameter, the alignment of `TypeErased` is
  8 bytes, so anything with an alignment of 8 or less can be contained

### Access

Since there is no type data anymore, any access to the inner data is `unsafe` (except [getting the bytes directly](crate::TypeErased::raw))

`TypeErased` is not `Send` nor `Sync` since it can't be known if that's safe
