Struct Inferred

pub struct Inferred<T>(/* private fields */);

Explicitly infer the type of a scanner.

This is useful in cases where you want to only partially specify a scanner type, but the partial type cannot be inferred under normal circumstances.

For example, tuples allow their element types to scan to be abstract scanners; e.g. (Word<String>, Hex<i32>) will scan to (String, i32). However, this interferes with inferring the scanner type when you partially specify a tuple type. If you attempt to store the result of scanning (_, _) into a (String, i32), Rust cannot determine whether the scanner type should be (String, Hex<i32>), or (Word<String>, i32), or something else entirely.

This scanner, then, requires that the inner type scan to itself and only to itself.

Trait Implementations

impl<'a, T> ScanFromStr<'a> for Inferred<T>

where T: ScanSelfFromStr<'a>,

type Output = T

The type that the implementation scans into. This does not have to be the same as the implementing type, although it typically will be.

fn scan_from<I: ScanInput<'a>>(s: I) -> Result<(Self::Output, usize), ScanError>

Perform a scan on the given input.

fn wants_leading_junk_stripped() -> bool

Indicates whether or not the scanner wants its input to have leading “junk”, such as whitespace, stripped.
