| `CoerceUnsized` or `DispatchFromDyn` was implemented on a struct which does not | |
| contain a field that is being unsized. | |
| Example of erroneous code: | |
| ```compile_fail,E0374 | |
| #![feature(coerce_unsized)] | |
| use std::ops::CoerceUnsized; | |
| struct Foo<T: ?Sized> { | |
| a: i32, | |
| } | |
| // error: Struct `Foo` has no unsized fields that need to be coerced. | |
| impl<T, U> CoerceUnsized<Foo<U>> for Foo<T> | |
| where T: CoerceUnsized<U> {} | |
| ``` | |
| `CoerceUnsized` is used to coerce structs that have a field that can be unsized, | |
| like a custom `MyBox<T>` being unsized to `MyBox<dyn Trait>`. `DispatchFromDyn` | |
| is used to dispatch from `MyBox<dyn Trait>` to `MyBox<Self>` in a dyn-compatible | |
| trait. | |
| If the struct doesn't have any fields of unsized types then there is no | |
| meaningful way to implement `CoerceUnsized` or `DispatchFromDyn`, since | |
| there is no coercion taking place. | |
| Note that `CoerceUnsized` and `DispatchFromDyn` is mainly used by smart pointers | |
| like `Box`, `Rc` and `Arc` to be able to mark that they can coerce unsized types | |
| that they are pointing at. |
