Struct canrun::core::LVar

source ·
pub struct LVar<T> { /* private fields */ }
Expand description

A logical variable that represents a potential value of type T.

LVars are are passed into goals to relate values and other variables to each other. They can also be used to query for values.

The main reason to deal with an LVar directly as opposed to just Value::Var is that LVar implements Copy, which makes it more convenient when the same var is shared between various goals, closures and other places.

The identity of each LVar is tracked using an internal id. While this id is visible through the Debug implementation, it should only be used for debugging purposes as no guarantees are made about the type or generation of the id value. Also, these ids are only valid within the context of a single execution. They cannot be safely persisted or shared between processes.

Implementations§

Create a new logical var.

Example:
use canrun::LVar;
let x: LVar<isize> = LVar::new();

This method tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.
This method tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.
