Corlib is a various ideas library.

§Library Contents:

§NonOption

Like an option but not optional.

§RcByPtr and WeakByPtr

Compare and hash Rc and Rc::Weak objects by pointer instead of by value.

§RcDefault and ArcDefault

Default traits for returning reference counted types.

§MovableText

For conveniently moving owned and static strings and string slices around.

§AsStr

A trait with an as_str method.

§Droppers

Structs for calling closures on drop.

§GapFillingCounter

A counter that can recycle “gaps”.

§Getters Setters Callers

Macros for implementing getters, setters and calling methods on regular structs and RefCells.

§HasOne

Sometimes you just want the value 1 (or 1.0).

§Lazy

A struct for lazily initialising objects.

Does not contain its own initialising closure.

§As Any

A trait with a method (as_any) for returning a &dyn Any instance of &self (comes with a handy implementation macro).

§Get Some

Convert Options into certainty.

§Inc Dec Macros

Miss the ++ and – operators?

This module can help sort you out.

§Collections

Collections and collection related objects.

§Events

Events and event related objects. Inspred by .NET events.

§Rfc

Macros and functions that help you work with RefCells.

§Upgrading

Functions that help you deal with upgrading reference counted objects.

§Todo:

  • Add more documentation
  • Add code examples
  • Add more tests
  • Add Hashmap and Hashset based event implementations
  • Clean-up the code
  • Solidify the API for 1.0

§Coding Style

This project uses a coding style the emphasises the use of white space over keeping the line and column counts as low as possible.

So this:

fn foo()
{

    bar();

}

Not this:

fn foo()
{
    bar();
}

Re-exports§

Modules§

  • The AsAny trait and impl_as_any macro, useful for when you want to convert a reference to &dyn Any.
  • Collection related stucts and traits, some of which are inspired by .NET.
  • Event structs inspired by .NET events.
  • Convert Options into certainty with the get_some declarative macro.
  • Trait implenenations for getting the value of one for each numeric type.
  • Traits for getting reference counted default objects.
  • Macros and functions that help you work with RefCells.
  • Functions that help you deal with upgrading reference counted objects.

Macros§

Structs§

  • Contains a closure and a container reference parameter. The closure is called with the container parameter being passed to it when dropped. The container parameter may refer to a containing object.
  • Contains a closure that is called when dropped.
  • Increments a number returning “gap” mumbers, numbers that are reported to be no longer “be in use”, first.
  • A lazily constructed object that does not contain an initaising function pointer.
  • An Option that is not really optional (but is still kinda). Start by creating the object by calling invalid (probably as a field in a struct constructor) and setting a value by calling “set” with a parameter as soon as possible. Attempting to use an invalid NonOption will cause a panic, so make absolutely sure you’ve set it with a value before calling “get_ref”, “get_mut” etc.
  • Contains a closure and a parameter. The closure is called with the parameter being passed to it when dropped.
  • A Container for comparing and hashing reference counted values using their pointers.
  • A Container for comparing and hashing weak reference counted values using their pointers.

Enums§

  • MovableText: Ideal for when you want to be able to move text around that could either be a String ot a static String slice.

Traits§

  • Provides as_str as a trait method.
