index_type 0.1.0

#![no_std]
//! A Rust library providing **strongly typed indices** for collections, designed for both `std` and `no_std` environments.
//!
//! ## What are typed indices?
//!
//! In standard Rust, collections use `usize` for indexing. This works well but provides no compile-time
//! protection against using an index from one collection with another. Typed indices solve this by
//! creating custom index types that are statically associated with specific collections.
//!
//! In standard Rust, a raw `usize` can index any collection. This allows subtle bugs:
//! ```rust
//! # #[derive(Default, Clone, Copy)]
//! # struct Node;
//! # #[derive(Default, Clone, Copy)]
//! # struct Edge;
//! let nodes: Vec<Node> = vec![Node::default(); 10];  // 10 nodes
//! let edges: Vec<Edge> = vec![Edge::default(); 5];   // 5 edges
//! let node_index = 3;
//! nodes[node_index];
//! edges[node_index]; // compiles just fine!
//! ```
//!
//! With typed indices, cross-contamination becomes a compile error:
//! ```compile_fail
//! # use index_type::{IndexType, typed_vec::TypedVec};
//! # #[derive(Default, Clone, Copy)]
//! # struct Node;
//! # #[derive(Default, Clone, Copy)]
//! # struct Edge;
//! #[derive(IndexType, Debug, Clone, Copy, PartialEq, Eq, PartialOrd, Ord)]
//! struct NodeId(u32);
//!
//! #[derive(IndexType, Debug, Clone, Copy, PartialEq, Eq, PartialOrd, Ord)]
//! struct EdgeId(u32);
//!
//! let nodes: TypedVec<NodeId, Node> = TypedVec::new();
//! let edges: TypedVec<EdgeId, Edge> = TypedVec::new();
//! let node_id = NodeId(3);
//! nodes[node_id]; // OK
//! edges[node_id]; // COMPILE ERROR: expected EdgeId, found NodeId
//! ```
//!
//! ## Features
//!
//! - **Type Safety**: Prevents accidental misuse of indices between different collections at compile time
//! - **`no_std` Support**: Works in embedded systems and other `no_std` environments
//! - **Memory Efficiency**: Use smaller integer types (`u8`, `u16`) for indices when collections are bounded
//! - **Niche Optimization**: Supports [`NonZero`](core::num::NonZero) types so `Option<Index>` has the same size as `Index`
//! - **Rich Collections**: Provides [`TypedSlice`](crate::typed_slice::TypedSlice), [`TypedVec`](crate::typed_vec::TypedVec), [`TypedArray`](crate::typed_array::TypedArray), and [`TypedArrayVec`](crate::typed_array_vec::TypedArrayVec)
//! - **Derive Macros**: Easy to define custom index types with `#[derive(IndexType)]`
//! - **Range Iterators**: Iterate over ranges using custom index types
//!
//! ## Quick Start
//!
//! ```rust
//! use index_type::IndexType;
//! use index_type::typed_vec::TypedVec;
//!
//! #[derive(IndexType, Debug, Clone, Copy, PartialEq, Eq, PartialOrd, Ord)]
//! struct MyIndex(u32);
//!
//! let mut vec: TypedVec<MyIndex, i32> = TypedVec::new();
//! let idx = vec.push(42);
//!
//! assert_eq!(vec[idx], 42);
//! // vec[0usize]; // This won't compile - requires MyIndex type
//! ```
//!
//! ## Defining Index Types
//!
//! Use the `#[derive(IndexType)]` macro on a newtype struct:
//!
//! ```
//! use index_type::IndexType;
//!
//! #[derive(IndexType, Debug, Clone, Copy, PartialEq, Eq, PartialOrd, Ord)]
//! struct MyIndex(u32);
//! ```
//!
//! The macro automatically implements the [`IndexType`] trait for your custom type. By default,
//! it generates an error type `MyIndexTooBigError`. You can specify a custom error type:
//!
//! ```
//! use index_type::IndexType;
//! use index_type::IndexTooBigError;
//!
//! #[derive(Debug, IndexTooBigError)]
//! #[index_too_big_error(msg = "item id too big")]
//! struct ItemIdTooBigError;
//!
//! #[derive(IndexType, Debug, Clone, Copy, PartialEq, Eq, PartialOrd, Ord)]
//! #[index_type(error = ItemIdTooBigError)]
//! struct ItemId(u32);
//! ```
//!
//! ## Typed Collections
//!
//! ### TypedVec
//!
//! A growable vector with typed indexing. See [`TypedVec`](crate::typed_vec::TypedVec) for the full API.
//!
//! ```
//! use index_type::IndexType;
//! use index_type::typed_vec::TypedVec;
//!
//! #[derive(IndexType, Debug, Clone, Copy, PartialEq, Eq, PartialOrd, Ord)]
//! struct NodeId(u32);
//!
//! let mut nodes: TypedVec<NodeId, String> = TypedVec::new();
//! let id0 = nodes.push("Alice".to_string());
//! let id1 = nodes.push("Bob".to_string());
//!
//! println!("Node 0: {}", nodes[id0]);
//! ```
//!
//! Operations that can fail due to index overflow have both panicking and fallible variants:
//!
//! ```
//! # use index_type::IndexType;
//! # use index_type::typed_vec::TypedVec;
//! # #[derive(IndexType, Debug, Clone, Copy, PartialEq, Eq, PartialOrd, Ord)]
//! # struct MyIndex(u32);
//! let mut vec: TypedVec<MyIndex, i32> = TypedVec::new();
//! vec.push(1);                              // Panics if index too big
//! let result = vec.try_push(2);             // Returns Result<(), Error>
//! ```
//!
//! ### TypedSlice
//!
//! A slice wrapper with typed indexing. See [`TypedSlice`](crate::typed_slice::TypedSlice) for the full API.
//!
//! ```
//! use index_type::IndexType;
//! use index_type::typed_vec::TypedVec;
//! use index_type::typed_slice::TypedSlice;
//!
//! #[derive(IndexType, Debug, Clone, Copy, PartialEq, Eq, PartialOrd, Ord)]
//! struct RowId(u16);
//!
//! let vec: TypedVec<RowId, f64> = TypedVec::from_vec(vec![1.0, 2.0, 3.0]);
//! let slice: &TypedSlice<RowId, f64> = vec.as_slice();
//!
//! // Safe indexing with custom type
//! let first = slice[RowId::ZERO];
//! ```
//!
//! ### TypedArray
//!
//! A fixed-size array with typed indexing. The array length `N` is checked at compile time
//! to ensure it fits within the index type's range. See [`TypedArray`](crate::typed_array::TypedArray) for the full API.
//!
//! ```
//! use index_type::IndexType;
//! use index_type::typed_array::TypedArray;
//!
//! #[derive(IndexType, Debug, Clone, Copy, PartialEq, Eq, PartialOrd, Ord)]
//! struct PixelIdx(u8);
//!
//! let mut pixels: TypedArray<PixelIdx, [u8; 3], 4> = TypedArray::default();
//! pixels[PixelIdx::ZERO] = [255, 0, 0];  // Red
//! pixels[PixelIdx(1)] = [0, 255, 0];     // Green
//! ```
//!
//! ### TypedArrayVec
//!
//! A fixed-capacity vector ideal for embedded systems. It never allocates after creation.
//! See [`TypedArrayVec`](crate::typed_array_vec::TypedArrayVec) for the full API.
//!
//! ```
//! use index_type::IndexType;
//! use index_type::typed_array_vec::TypedArrayVec;
//!
//! #[derive(IndexType, Debug, Clone, Copy, PartialEq, Eq, PartialOrd, Ord)]
//! struct BufferIndex(u8);
//!
//! let mut buffer: TypedArrayVec<BufferIndex, u8, 16> = TypedArrayVec::new();
//! buffer.push(42);
//! assert_eq!(buffer.len().to_raw_index(), 1);
//! ```
//!
//! A `TypedArrayVec<u8, u8, 3>` is only 4 bytes (3 bytes for data + 1 byte for length).
//!
//! ## Memory-Efficient Indices
//!
//! Using smaller integer types reduces memory when storing many indices:
//!
//! ```
//! # use index_type::IndexType;
//! #[derive(IndexType, Debug, Clone, Copy, PartialEq, Eq, PartialOrd, Ord)]
//! struct SmallIndex(u8);  // Only 1 byte per index!
//!
//! println!("SmallIndex: {} bytes", std::mem::size_of::<SmallIndex>());
//! println!("u32 index: {} bytes", std::mem::size_of::<u32>());
//! ```
//!
//! For collections with at most 255 elements, `u8` saves 75% memory compared to `u32`.
//!
//! ## NonZero Indices and Niche Optimization
//!
//! Using [`NonZero`](core::num::NonZero) types enables niche optimization, where `Option<Index>`
//! has the same size as `Index`:
//!
//! ```
//! use index_type::IndexType;
//! use core::num::NonZeroU32;
//!
//! #[derive(IndexType, Debug, Clone, Copy, PartialEq, Eq, PartialOrd, Ord)]
//! struct SafeId(NonZeroU32);
//!
//! // Option<SafeId> takes only 4 bytes, not 8!
//! assert_eq!(std::mem::size_of::<SafeId>(), 4);
//! assert_eq!(std::mem::size_of::<Option<SafeId>>(), 4);
//! ```
//!
//! ## Range Iterators
//!
//! Standard Rust ranges require the unstable [`Step`](core::iter::Step) trait. This crate provides
//! [`TypedRangeIterExt`](crate::typed_range_iter::TypedRangeIterExt) for iterating over ranges with custom index types:
//!
//! ```
//! use index_type::IndexType;
//! use index_type::typed_range_iter::TypedRangeIterExt;
//!
//! #[derive(IndexType, Debug, Clone, Copy, PartialEq, Eq, PartialOrd, Ord)]
//! struct MyIdx(u32);
//!
//! let start = MyIdx(5);
//! let end = MyIdx(10);
//!
//! for idx in (start..end).iter() {
//!     println!("{:?}", idx);
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! ## Typed Enumerate
//!
//! Use [`TypedIteratorExt`](crate::typed_enumerate::TypedIteratorExt) to enumerate any iterator with typed indices:
//!
//! ```
//! use index_type::IndexType;
//! use index_type::typed_enumerate::TypedIteratorExt;
//!
//! #[derive(IndexType, Debug, Clone, Copy, PartialEq, Eq, PartialOrd, Ord)]
//! struct RowIdx(u32);
//!
//! let pairs: Vec<_> = ["a", "b", "c"]
//!     .into_iter()
//!     .typed_enumerate::<RowIdx>()
//!     .collect();
//!
//! assert_eq!(pairs[1].0, RowIdx(1));
//! assert_eq!(pairs[1].1, "b");
//! ```
//!
//! ## Macros
//!
//! Convenience macros for creating typed collections:
//!
//! ```
//! use index_type::{typed_vec, typed_array, typed_array_vec, typed_slice, typed_slice_mut, IndexType};
//! use index_type::typed_vec::TypedVec;
//! use index_type::typed_array::TypedArray;
//! use index_type::typed_array_vec::TypedArrayVec;
//! use index_type::typed_slice::TypedSlice;
//!
//! #[derive(IndexType, Debug, Clone, Copy, PartialEq, Eq, PartialOrd, Ord)]
//! struct MyIndex(u32);
//!
//! // Create a TypedVec
//! let v: TypedVec<MyIndex, i32> = typed_vec![1, 2, 3];
//!
//! // Create a TypedArray
//! let a: TypedArray<MyIndex, i32, 3> = typed_array![1, 2, 3];
//!
//! // Create a TypedArrayVec
//! let av: TypedArrayVec<MyIndex, u8, 4> = typed_array_vec![1, 2, 3, 4];
//!
//! // Create a TypedSlice reference
//! let s: &TypedSlice<MyIndex, i32> = typed_slice![1, 2, 3];
//! ```
//!
//! ## Error Handling
//!
//! Operations that can fail due to index overflow return `Result` types:
//!
//! ```
//! use index_type::IndexType;
//! use index_type::typed_vec::TypedVec;
//!
//! #[derive(IndexType, Debug, Clone, Copy, PartialEq, Eq, PartialOrd, Ord)]
//! struct MyIndex(u8);  // MAX_RAW_INDEX = 255
//!
//! let mut vec: TypedVec<MyIndex, i32> = TypedVec::new();
//!
//! // Fill up to capacity
//! for i in 0..255 {
//!     vec.try_push(i).unwrap();
//! }
//!
//! // This fails gracefully
//! assert!(vec.try_push(255).is_err());
//! ```
//!
//! ## no_std Compatibility
//!
//! This crate is `no_std` compatible. The `alloc` feature (enabled by default) enables
//! heap-allocated collections ([`TypedVec`](crate::typed_vec::TypedVec) and related macros).
//!
//! For pure `no_std` environments without heap allocation, disable the `alloc` feature:
//!
//! ```toml
//! [dependencies]
//! index_type = { version = "...", default-features = false }
//! ```
//!

/// A trait for types that can be used as indices into typed collections.
///
/// This trait is the foundation of the crate. It is implemented for primitive unsigned integer
/// types (`u8`, `u16`, `u32`, `u64`, `usize`) and their [`NonZero`](core::num::NonZero) variants. Custom index types
/// should be defined using the `#[derive(IndexType)]` macro, which implements this trait for a
/// newtype struct.
///
/// # Safety
///
/// Do not implement directly; use `#[derive(IndexType)]` instead.
///
/// # Index vs Raw Index
///
/// The distinction between "index" and "raw index" is important for [`NonZero`](core::num::NonZero) types.
/// For a regular type like `u8`:
/// - Raw index 0 maps to `u8::ZERO` (0)
/// - Raw index 255 maps to `u8::MAX` (255)
///
/// For a [`NonZero`](core::num::NonZero) type like `NonZeroU8`:
/// - Raw index 0 maps to `NonZeroU8::new_unchecked(1)` (the minimum valid value)
/// - Raw index 254 maps to `NonZeroU8::new_unchecked(255)` (the maximum valid value)
/// - Raw index 255 is **invalid** because it would overflow when adding 1 to get the inner value
///
/// This design allows `Option<NonZeroU8>` to occupy a single byte (niche optimization).
