Enum scale_info::prelude::ops::ControlFlow

pub enum ControlFlow<B, C = ()> {
    Continue(C),
    Break(B),
}

Used to tell an operation whether it should exit early or go on as usual.

This is used when exposing things (like graph traversals or visitors) where you want the user to be able to choose whether to exit early. Having the enum makes it clearer – no more wondering “wait, what did false mean again?” – and allows including a value.

Similar to Option and Result, this enum can be used with the ? operator to return immediately if the Break variant is present or otherwise continue normally with the value inside the Continue variant.

Examples

Early-exiting from Iterator::try_for_each:

use std::ops::ControlFlow;

let r = (2..100).try_for_each(|x| {
    if 403 % x == 0 {
        return ControlFlow::Break(x)
    }

    ControlFlow::Continue(())
});
assert_eq!(r, ControlFlow::Break(13));

A basic tree traversal:

use std::ops::ControlFlow;

pub struct TreeNode<T> {
    value: T,
    left: Option<Box<TreeNode<T>>>,
    right: Option<Box<TreeNode<T>>>,
}

impl<T> TreeNode<T> {
    pub fn traverse_inorder<B>(&self, f: &mut impl FnMut(&T) -> ControlFlow<B>) -> ControlFlow<B> {
        if let Some(left) = &self.left {
            left.traverse_inorder(f)?;
        }
        f(&self.value)?;
        if let Some(right) = &self.right {
            right.traverse_inorder(f)?;
        }
        ControlFlow::Continue(())
    }
    fn leaf(value: T) -> Option<Box<TreeNode<T>>> {
        Some(Box::new(Self { value, left: None, right: None }))
    }
}

let node = TreeNode {
    value: 0,
    left: TreeNode::leaf(1),
    right: Some(Box::new(TreeNode {
        value: -1,
        left: TreeNode::leaf(5),
        right: TreeNode::leaf(2),
    }))
};
let mut sum = 0;

let res = node.traverse_inorder(&mut |val| {
    if *val < 0 {
        ControlFlow::Break(*val)
    } else {
        sum += *val;
        ControlFlow::Continue(())
    }
});
assert_eq!(res, ControlFlow::Break(-1));
assert_eq!(sum, 6);

Variants

Continue(C)

Move on to the next phase of the operation as normal.

Break(B)

Exit the operation without running subsequent phases.

Implementations

impl<B, C> ControlFlow<B, C>

pub fn is_break(&self) -> bool

Returns true if this is a Break variant.

Examples

#![feature(control_flow_enum)]
use std::ops::ControlFlow;

assert!(ControlFlow::<i32, String>::Break(3).is_break());
assert!(!ControlFlow::<String, i32>::Continue(3).is_break());

pub fn is_continue(&self) -> bool

Returns true if this is a Continue variant.

Examples

#![feature(control_flow_enum)]
use std::ops::ControlFlow;

assert!(!ControlFlow::<i32, String>::Break(3).is_continue());
assert!(ControlFlow::<String, i32>::Continue(3).is_continue());

pub fn break_value(self) -> Option<B>

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (control_flow_enum)

Converts the ControlFlow into an Option which is Some if the ControlFlow was Break and None otherwise.

Examples

#![feature(control_flow_enum)]
use std::ops::ControlFlow;

assert_eq!(ControlFlow::<i32, String>::Break(3).break_value(), Some(3));
assert_eq!(ControlFlow::<String, i32>::Continue(3).break_value(), None);

pub fn map_break<T, F>(self, f: F) -> ControlFlow<T, C> where
    F: FnOnce(B) -> T, 

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (control_flow_enum)

Maps ControlFlow<B, C> to ControlFlow<T, C> by applying a function to the break value in case it exists.

impl<B> ControlFlow<B, ()>

pub const CONTINUE: ControlFlow<B, ()>

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (control_flow_enum)

It’s frequently the case that there’s no value needed with Continue, so this provides a way to avoid typing (()), if you prefer it.

Examples

#![feature(control_flow_enum)]
use std::ops::ControlFlow;

let mut partial_sum = 0;
let last_used = (1..10).chain(20..25).try_for_each(|x| {
    partial_sum += x;
    if partial_sum > 100 { ControlFlow::Break(x) }
    else { ControlFlow::CONTINUE }
});
assert_eq!(last_used.break_value(), Some(22));

impl<C> ControlFlow<(), C>

pub const BREAK: ControlFlow<(), C>

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (control_flow_enum)

APIs like try_for_each don’t need values with Break, so this provides a way to avoid typing (()), if you prefer it.

Examples

#![feature(control_flow_enum)]
use std::ops::ControlFlow;

let mut partial_sum = 0;
(1..10).chain(20..25).try_for_each(|x| {
    if partial_sum > 100 { ControlFlow::BREAK }
    else { partial_sum += x; ControlFlow::CONTINUE }
});
assert_eq!(partial_sum, 108);
