Crate const_array_init 

Macros used to initialize an array in const context using closure syntax or const fn.

All macros in this crate implemented using macro_rules! which is very IDE-friendly way.

Examples

Using const_arr! macro:

use const_array_init::const_arr;
 
const ARR1: [i32; 5] = const_arr!([i32; 5], |i| i as i32 + 1);
assert_eq!(ARR1, [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]);
 
const fn to_i32_plus_one(n: usize) -> i32 {
    n as i32 + 1
}
const ARR2: [i32; 5] = const_arr!([i32; 5], to_i32_plus_one);
assert_eq!(ARR2, [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]);

Using make_const_arr! macro:

use const_array_init::make_const_arr;
 
make_const_arr!(ARR1, [i32; 5], |i| i as i32 + 1);
assert_eq!(ARR1, [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]);
 
const fn to_i32_plus_one(n: usize) -> i32 {
    n as i32 + 1
}
 
make_const_arr!(ARR2, [i32; 5], to_i32_plus_one);
assert_eq!(ARR2, [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]);

Advanced usage:

• Note that User isn’t Copy, yet still you can use it in const context with this macro.

use const_array_init::const_arr;
 
#[derive(Debug, PartialEq, Eq)]
struct User { id: u32 }
 
const fn create_user_from_i(i: usize) -> User {
    User { id: i as u32 }
}
 
const USERS: [User; 1024] = const_arr!([User; 1024], create_user_from_i);
 
const USERS2: [User; 1024] = const_arr!([User; 1024], |i| User { id: i as u32 });

Macros

const_arr

Macro used to initialize arrays in constant context

make_const_arr

Wrapper around const_arr macro. Allows to specify the type of an array single time.
