Root Cause

The trait object does not expose the method because the trait definition lacks the method or it's not object-safe.

generic

中文

trait 对象未暴露该方法，因为 trait 定义中缺少该方法或该方法不是对象安全的。

Workarounds

  1. 90% success Ensure the method is defined in the trait and is object-safe: no generics, use `where Self: Sized` for non-object-safe methods. 
    Ensure the method is defined in the trait and is object-safe: no generics, use `where Self: Sized` for non-object-safe methods.
  2. 85% success If the method uses generics, refactor to use `Box<dyn Trait>` with a separate trait for object-safe methods. 
    If the method uses generics, refactor to use `Box<dyn Trait>` with a separate trait for object-safe methods.

中文步骤

  1. 确保方法在 trait 中定义且是对象安全的：避免泛型，对非对象安全的方法使用 `where Self: Sized`。
  2. 如果方法使用泛型，重构为使用 `Box<dyn Trait>` 并分离出对象安全的 trait。

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. 80% fail

    Methods with generic type parameters are not object-safe; use associated types or dyn-compatible signatures.

  2. 60% fail

    The method must exist in the trait; impl Trait only changes dispatch, not method availability.
