Trivial Wrapper around Box, doesn't have a size known at compile-time

[xnor]

I'm trying to create a wrapper around a box that manages in what thread deallocation will happen..
I'm aware of the unstable coercions (coerce_unsized, unsize) for custom smart pointers.. but it seems like that should be automatically applied here..

Is there something I am missing that would allow me to use this without having to go unstable?

#[repr(transparent)]
pub struct Wrapper<T>(Box<T>);

//works
//pub type Container = Box<dyn Event>;

//does not work
pub type Container = Wrapper<dyn Event>;

pub trait Event {
    fn foo(&mut self) -> usize;
}

pub trait Schedule {
    fn schedule(&mut self, event: Container);
}
fn main() {

}

(Playground)

Errors:

One small change and this compiles:

#[repr(transparent)]
pub struct Wrapper<T>(Box<T>);
//works
//pub type Container = Box<dyn Event>;
//does not work
pub type Container = Wrapper<dyn Event>;

pub trait Event {
    fn foo(&mut self) -> usize;
}

pub trait Schedule {
    fn schedule(&mut self, event: Container);
}
fn main() {

}

Transform:

pub struct Wrapper<T>(Box<T>);

to

pub struct Wrapper<T: ?Sized>(Box<T>);

[leudz]

When you define a generic it is Sized by default but you don't want it.

pub struct Wrapper<T: ?Sized>(Box<T>);

@nologik You're making a Box<Box<dyn Event>> though.

Yep, @leudz is right

there it is! thanks @leudz and @nologik !
