Objective

  • There was a deadlock discovered in the implementation of bevy_reflect::utility::GenericTypeCell, when called on a recursive type, e.g. Vec<Vec<VariableCurve>>

Solution

  • Drop the lock before calling the initialisation function, and then pick it up again afterwards.

One issue this brings up (and that this PR does not need to be the one to fix) is that we apparently don't support self-referential types. The following won't compile:

#[derive(Reflect, FromReflect)]
struct Foo {
  foo: Vec<Foo>
}
