An auto trait cannot be added to the bounds of a `dyn Trait` type via a pointer cast. Erroneous code example: ```rust,edition2021,compile_fail,E0804 let ptr: *const dyn core::any::Any = &(); _ = ptr as *const (dyn core::any::Any + Send); ``` Adding an auto trait can make the vtable invalid, potentially causing UB in safe code afterwards. For example: ```rust,edition2021,no_run use core::{mem::transmute, ptr::NonNull}; trait Trait { fn f(&self) where Self: Send; } impl Trait for NonNull<()> { fn f(&self) { unreachable!() } } fn main() { let unsend: &dyn Trait = &NonNull::dangling(); let bad: &(dyn Trait + Send) = unsafe { transmute(unsend) }; // This crashes, since the vtable for `NonNull as dyn Trait` does // not have an entry for `Trait::f`. bad.f(); } ``` To fix this error, you can use `transmute` rather than pointer casts, but you must ensure that the vtable is valid for the pointer's type before calling a method on the trait object or allowing other code to do so.
