Struct Choice 

pub struct Choice<const N: usize> { /* private fields */ }

A Choice represents a selection between several protocols offered by offer!.

It wraps an ordinary non-negative number, with the guarantee that it is strictly less than the type level number N.

Unless you are implementing a backend, you do not need to interact with Choices directly. However, all backends must implement Transmit<Choice<N>, Val> and Receive<Choice<N>> for all N in order to support the Choose and Offer constructs.

Examples

It’s possible to construct a Choice from all u8 strictly less than its type parameter N:

use std::convert::TryInto;
use dialectic::backend::Choice;

let zero: Choice<3> = 0_u8.try_into()?;
let one: Choice<3> = 1_u8.try_into()?;
let two: Choice<3> = 2_u8.try_into()?;

assert_eq!(zero, 0_u8);
assert_eq!(one, 1_u8);
assert_eq!(two, 2_u8);

But we cannot construct a Choice from a u8 equal to or greater than its type parameter N:

let attempted_three: Result<Choice<3>, _> = 3_u8.try_into();
let attempted_four: Result<Choice<3>, _> = 4_u8.try_into();

assert!(attempted_three.is_err());
assert!(attempted_four.is_err());

Note that this means Choice<0> is unrepresentable, because you cannot choose something from a set of zero things:

for i in 0 ..= u8::MAX {
   let attempt: Result<Choice<0>, _> = i.try_into();
   assert!(attempt.is_err());
}
