chmp!() { /* proc-macro */ }Expand description
Use the chmp macro to chain comparison operators.
You can use all of these operators: <, <=, >, >=, ==, !=.
§Examples
§Basic usage
use chain_cmp::chmp;
let (a, b, c) = (1, 2, 3);
let verbose = a < b && b <= c;
let concise = chmp!(a < b <= c);
assert_eq!(concise, verbose);
// You can use equality operators as well:
assert!(chmp!(a != b != c));
// And you can even chain more than three operators:
assert!(chmp!(a != b != c != a)); // making sure these values are pairwise distinct
// And of course mix and match operators:
assert!(chmp!(a < b <= c != a == a));§Short-circuiting
chmp will short-circuit to evaluate the fewest expressions
possible.
fn panics() -> i32 {
panic!();
}
assert!(!chmp!(i32::MAX < i32::MIN < panics())); // this **won't** panic§Comparing arbitrary expressions
As long as the comparison operators have the lowest precedence,
chmp will evaluate any expression, like variables, blocks,
function calls, etc.
