❓ What is any_ref

any_ref is a crate that allows you to capture things that are not 'static with memory safety.

Here's a simple demo to see how it works. ``rust // Create the typeReturnVecstands forVec<&'_ T>` makeanyref! { type ReturnVec = for<'a> Vec<&'a T>; }

let moved_ar; { // This is the owner let num: Box<(u16, u16, u16, u16)> = Box::new((1, 2, 3, 4));

// Initialize an `AnyRef`
let ar: AnyRef<ReturnVec<u16>, _> = AnyRef::new(
    num, |x| vec![&x.0, &x.1, &x.2, &x.3]
);

// Move out of this scope
moved_ar = ar;

}

// Read the reference of the value asserteq!(movedar.get(), &vec![&1, &2, &3, &4]); ```

📣 Compatibility Notice

Below the version of rustc 1.61, due to a problem with type inferer, we cannot use AnyRef::new to initialize AnyRef in stable rust, using new_any_ref as an temporary alternative solution. Please upgrade your rustc to 1.61.0 or later if possible!
