Enum Def

#[non_exhaustive]
#[repr(C)]
pub enum Def {
    Scalar(ScalarDef),
    Struct(Struct),
    Enum(EnumDef),
    Map(MapDef),
    List(ListDef),
    Array(ArrayDef),
    Slice(SliceDef),
    Option(OptionDef),
    SmartPointer(SmartPointerDef),
    FunctionPointer(FunctionPointerDef),
}

The definition of a shape: is it more like a struct, a map, a list?

Variants (Non-exhaustive)

Non-exhaustive enums could have additional variants added in future. Therefore, when matching against variants of non-exhaustive enums, an extra wildcard arm must be added to account for any future variants.

Scalar(ScalarDef)

Scalar — those don’t have a def, they’re not composed of other things. You can interact with them through ValueVTable.

e.g. u32, String, bool, SocketAddr, etc.

Struct(Struct)

Various kinds of structs, see StructKind

e.g. struct Struct { field: u32 }, struct TupleStruct(u32, u32);, (u32, u32)

Enum(EnumDef)

Enum with variants

e.g. enum Enum { Variant1, Variant2 }

Map(MapDef)

Map — keys are dynamic (and strings, sorry), values are homogeneous

e.g. Map<String, T>

List(ListDef)

Ordered list of heterogenous values, variable size

e.g. Vec<T>

Array(ArrayDef)

Fixed-size array of heterogenous values

e.g. [T; 32]

Slice(SliceDef)

Slice — a reference to a contiguous sequence of elements

e.g. &[T]

Option(OptionDef)

Option

e.g. Option<T>

SmartPointer(SmartPointerDef)

Smart pointers, like Arc<T>, Rc<T>, etc.

FunctionPointer(FunctionPointerDef)

Function pointers, like fn(u32) -> String, extern "C" fn() -> *const T, etc.

Implementations

impl Def

pub fn into_scalar(self) -> Result<ScalarDef, Self>

Returns the ScalarDef wrapped in an Ok if this is a Def::Scalar.

pub fn into_struct(self) -> Result<Struct, Self>

Returns the Struct wrapped in an Ok if this is a Def::Struct.

pub fn into_enum(self) -> Result<EnumDef, Self>

Returns the EnumDef wrapped in an Ok if this is a Def::Enum.

pub fn into_map(self) -> Result<MapDef, Self>

Returns the MapDef wrapped in an Ok if this is a Def::Map.

pub fn into_list(self) -> Result<ListDef, Self>

Returns the ListDef wrapped in an Ok if this is a Def::List.

pub fn into_array(self) -> Result<ArrayDef, Self>

Returns the ArrayDef wrapped in an Ok if this is a Def::Array.

pub fn into_slice(self) -> Result<SliceDef, Self>

Returns the SliceDef wrapped in an Ok if this is a Def::Slice.

pub fn into_option(self) -> Result<OptionDef, Self>

Returns the OptionDef wrapped in an Ok if this is a Def::Option.

pub fn into_smart_pointer(self) -> Result<SmartPointerDef, Self>

Returns the SmartPointerDef wrapped in an Ok if this is a Def::SmartPointer.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for Def

fn clone(&self) -> Def

Returns a copy of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for Def

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Hash for Def

fn hash<__H: Hasher>(&self, state: &mut __H)

Feeds this value into the given Hasher.

fn hash_slice<H>(data: &[Self], state: &mut H)

where H: Hasher, Self: Sized,

Feeds a slice of this type into the given Hasher.

impl PartialEq for Def

fn eq(&self, other: &Def) -> bool

Tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.
