Enum ResultCode 

pub enum ResultCode {
    Okay,
    Error,
    Return,
    Break,
    Continue,
    Other(MoltInt),
}

This enum represents the different kinds of Exception that result from evaluating a Molt script.

Client Rust code will usually see only the Error code; the others will most often be caught and handled within the interpreter. However, client code may explicitly catch and handle Break and Continue (or application-defined codes) at both the Rust and the TCL level in order to implement application-specific control structures. (See The Molt Book on the return and catch commands for more details on the TCL interface.)

Variants

Okay

Value for return -code to indicate returning an Ok(value) higher up the stack. Client code should rarely if ever need to refer to this constant explicitly.

Error

A Molt error. The Exception::value is the error message for display to the user. The molt_err! and molt_throw! macros are usually used to produce errors in client code; but the Exception struct has a number of methods that give finer grained control.

Return

An explicit return from a Molt procedure. The Exception::value is the returned value, or the empty value if return was called without a return value. This result will bubble up through one or more stack levels (i.e., enclosing TCL procedure calls) and then yield the value as a normal Ok result. If it is received when evaluating an arbitrary script, i.e., if return is called outside of any procedure, the interpreter will convert it into a normal Ok result.

Clients will rarely need to interact with or reference this result code explicitly, unless implementing application-specific control structures. See The Molt Book documentation for the return and catch command for the semantics.

Break

A break in a Molt loop. It will break out of the inmost enclosing loop in the usual way. If it is returned outside a loop (or some user-defined control structure that supports break), the interpreter will convert it into an Error.

Clients will rarely need to interact with or reference this result code explicitly, unless implementing application-specific control structures. See The Molt Book documentation for the return and catch command for the semantics.

Continue

A continue in a Molt loop. Execution will continue with the next iteration of the inmost enclosing loop in the usual way. If it is returned outside a loop (or some user-defined control structure that supports break), the interpreter will convert it into an error.

Clients will rarely need to interact with or reference this result code explicitly, unless implementing application-specific control structures. See The Molt Book documentation for the return and catch command for the semantics.

Other(MoltInt)

A mechanism for defining application-specific result codes. Clients will rarely need to interact with or reference this result code explicitly, unless implementing application-specific control structures. See The Molt Book documentation for the return and catch command for the semantics.

Implementations

impl ResultCode

pub fn from_value(value: &Value) -> Result<Self, Exception>

A convenience: retrieves a result code string from the input Value the enumerated value as an external type, converting it from Option<ResultCode> into Result<ResultCode,Exception>.

This is primarily intended for use by the return command; if you really need it, you’d best be familiar with the implementation of return in command.rs, as well as a good bit of interp.rs.

pub fn as_int(&self) -> MoltInt

Returns the result code as an integer.

This is primarily intended for use by the catch command.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for ResultCode

fn clone(&self) -> ResultCode

Returns a duplicate of the value.

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

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Copy for ResultCode

impl Debug for ResultCode

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

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Display for ResultCode

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

Formats a result code for use with the return command’s -code option. This is part of making ResultCode a valid external type for use with Value.

impl Eq for ResultCode

impl FromStr for ResultCode

fn from_str(value: &str) -> Result<Self, Self::Err>

Converts a symbolic or numeric result code into a ResultCode. This is part of making ResultCode a valid external type for use with Value.

type Err = String

The associated error which can be returned from parsing.

impl PartialEq for ResultCode

fn eq(&self, other: &ResultCode) -> 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.
