This article will investigate how Rust handles dynamic dispatch using trait objects and vtables. We will also explore how the Rust compiler can sometimes optimize tail calls in the context of dynamic dispatch. Finally, we will examine how the vtable facilitates freeing memory when using trait objects wrapped in a Box.
