Warned<T, W> ... a value with warnings

The Warned<T, W> type represents a value with warnings, while the Result<T, E> type represents a value or error.

Basic

// new
let pi = warned::Warned::new(3.14, vec!["bad precision"]);
assert_eq!(pi.value, 3.14);
assert_eq!(pi.warnings, vec!["bad precision"]);

// dereference
assert_eq!(*pi, 3.14);

// unwrap
let mut warnings = vec!["several", "existing", "warnings"];
assert_eq!(pi.unwrap(&mut warnings), 3.14);
assert_eq!(warnings, vec!["several", "existing", "warnings", "bad precision"]);

// into
let a: warned::Warned<i32, String> = 123.into();
assert_eq!(a.value, 123);
assert!(a.warnings.is_empty());

Conversion between Warned<T, W> and Result<T, W>

• Warned::into_result returns Ok only if self has no warnings. Otherwise, returns Err.
• From<Warned<T, W>> trait is implemented for Result<T, Vec<W>> with the Warned::into_result.
• Warned::from_result_or_else returns a value with no warnings if the src is Ok. Otherwise, returns a value of f() with single warning.
• Warned::from_result_or returns a value with no warnings if the src is Ok. Otherwise, returns a given default value with single warning.
• Warned::from_result_or_default Returns a value with no warnings if the src is Ok. Otherwise, returns a T::default() value with single warning.
• Warned::from_result returns a Some value with no warnings if the src is Ok. Otherwise, returns None with single warning.

FromIterator implementation

FromIterator<Warned<T, W>>

A sequence of Warned<T, W> can be collected as a Warned<Vec<T>, W>.

let src = vec![
    warned::Warned::new(111, vec![]),
    warned::Warned::new(222, vec!["oops"]),
    warned::Warned::new(333, vec!["foo", "bar"])
];
let dst = src.into_iter().collect::<warned::Warned<Vec<_>, _>>();
assert_eq!(dst.value, vec![111, 222, 333]);
assert_eq!(dst.warnings, vec!["oops", "foo", "bar"]);

FromIterator<Result<T, E>>

A sequence of Result<T, E> can be collected as a Warned<Vec<T>, E>.

let src = vec![Ok(111), Err("oops"), Err("oops2"), Ok(222)];
let dst = src.into_iter().collect::<warned::Warned<Vec<_>, _>>();
assert_eq!(dst.value, vec![111, 222]);
assert_eq!(dst.warnings, vec!["oops", "oops2"]);

ForceFrom trait, ForceInto trait

The pair of the traits are similar to TryFrom/TryInto traits pair. ForceFrom/ForceInto returns Warned value, while TryFrom/TryInto returns Result, as follows.

pub trait ForceFrom<T>: Sized {
   type Warning;
   fn force_from(src: T) -> Warned<Self, Self::Warning>;
}
pub trait ForceInto<T> {
    type Warning;
    fn force_into(self) -> Warned<T, Self::Warning>;
}

When you implement ForceFrom conversion, ForceInto implementation is automatically defined by the blanket implementation below:

impl<T, U: ForceFrom<T>> ForceInto<U> for T {
   type Warning = U::Warning;
   fn force_into(self) -> Warned<U, Self::Warning> {
       U::force_from(self)
   }
}

And the following blanket implementation is also supported.

impl<T: Into<U>, U> ForceFrom<T> for U {
    type Warning = std::convert::Infallible;
    fn force_from(src: T) -> Warned<Self, Self::Warning> {
        src.into().into()
    }
}
