Generic Associated Types significantly cleanup the
GcHandleSystem
interface, and are nessecarry for the tests to be generic over collectors.Generic Associated Types have been accepted in Rust RFC #1958. However, much like specialization, they've been kind of in a semi-permenant unstable state for many years (the RFC is from 2016).
I've tried to avoid tying the zerogc API to any nightly features, especially those that are unlikely to be stabalized soon.
However,t the implementations are already making heavy use of nightly, and it doesn't look like it's going away any time soon.
Although I still want to avoid using, in practice it seems silly to avoid using GAT when it cleans up the handle API so significantly.
Unfortunately there is a tiny issue with the implementation right now and there is an error with a where bound in
zerogc-context
. I hope to fix that eventually.
