const-reify 0.1.0

Safe runtime-to-const-generic dispatch via match tables
Documentation
//! Match-table dispatch for runtime-to-const-generic bridging.

/// A const-generic type parameterized by a `u64` modulus.
///
/// # Examples
///
/// ```
/// use const_reify::{Modular, HasModulus};
///
/// let m = Modular::<42>;
/// assert_eq!(m.modulus(), 42);
/// ```
pub struct Modular<const N: u64>;

/// Trait providing access to the const-generic modulus value.
///
/// Implemented automatically for all [`Modular<N>`] instances.
///
/// # Examples
///
/// ```
/// use const_reify::{Modular, HasModulus};
///
/// fn print_modulus(m: &dyn HasModulus) {
///     println!("modulus = {}", m.modulus());
/// }
///
/// print_modulus(&Modular::<7>);
/// ```
pub trait HasModulus {
    /// Returns the modulus value.
    fn modulus(&self) -> u64;
}

impl<const N: u64> HasModulus for Modular<N> {
    fn modulus(&self) -> u64 {
        N
    }
}

/// Dispatch a runtime `u64` value to the corresponding [`Modular<N>`]
/// monomorphization, passing it to `f` as a `&dyn HasModulus`.
///
/// Supports values in `0..=255`.
///
/// # Panics
///
/// Panics if `val > 255` with a message indicating the value is out of
/// the supported range.
///
/// # Examples
///
/// ```
/// use const_reify::{reify_const, HasModulus};
///
/// let result = reify_const(17, |m| m.modulus());
/// assert_eq!(result, 17);
///
/// // Use it for computation that depends on the const value
/// let doubled = reify_const(21, |m| m.modulus() * 2);
/// assert_eq!(doubled, 42);
/// ```
