Struct loop_guard::LoopGuard

pub struct LoopGuard {
    pub max_ticks: i32,
    pub count: i32,
}

Utility for preventing infinite loops

Use as a guard rail inside a loop or while block

Meant to be used as a development dependency

Fields

max_ticks: i32

count: i32

Implementations

impl LoopGuard

pub fn new(max: i32) -> LoopGuard

Create a new LoopGuard

Make sure to create the LoopGuard instance outside the loop block

Arguments

• max_ticks - The limit of how many times a loop should run

use loop_guard::LoopGuard;

let mut guard = LoopGuard::new(10);

loop {
    guard.protect() // This panic after 10 loops
}

pub fn protect(&mut self)

From within a while or loop block, panic if the loop iteration surpasses the LoopGuard’s max_ticks value.
