Could this work eventually or is there some limitation I haven't think of?

This is #47: the layout of a fat pointer is not guaranteed, let alone FFI-safe; in the very near future (once #47 is implemented) it will be possible to write something along the lines of:

#[safer_ffi::repr(C)]
trait FooBar {
    fn method (self: &'_ mut Self, arg: Arg)
      -> R
    ;
}

#[ffi_export]
fn foobar (_: Option<c::Box<dyn FooBar>>)
{}

where c::Box<dyn FooBar + 'lt> would be an alias for CBoxDynFooBar<'lt>, which would be a manually laid out fat pointer that would enable the FFI interop:

//! generated bye the annotation on `trait FooBar`'s definition

#[safer_ffi::repr(C)]
struct CBoxDynFooBar<'lt> {
    ptr: ptr::NonNull<()>,
    vtable: &'lt FooBarVTable,
}

#[safer_ffi::repr(C)]
struct FooBarVTable {
    drop_boxed: unsafe extern "C" fn(ptr::NonNull<()>),
    method: unsafe extern "C" fn(ptr::NonNull<()>, arg: <Arg as ReprC>::CType) -> <Ret as ReprC>::CType,
}

from safer_ffi.

Closing as a "duplicate" of #47
