Struct spacetimedb_lib::type_def::SumType

pub struct SumType {
    pub variants: Vec<SumTypeVariant>,
}

A structural sum type.

Unlike most languages, sums in SATS are structural and not nominal. When checking whether two nominal types are the same, their names and/or declaration sites (e.g., module / namespace) are considered. Meanwhile, a structural type system would only check the structure of the type itself, e.g., the names of its variants and their inner data types in the case of a sum.

This is also known as a discriminated union (implementation) or disjoint union. Another name is coproduct (category theory).

These structures are known as sum types because the number of possible values a sum

{ N_0(T_0), N_1(T_1), ..., N_n(T_n) }

is:

Σ (i ∈ 0..n). values(T_i)

so for example, values({ A(U64), B(Bool) }) = values(U64) + values(Bool).

Fields

variants: Vec<SumTypeVariant>

The possible variants of the sum type.

The order is relevant as it defines the tags of the variants at runtime.

Implementations

impl SumType

pub fn decode<'a>( bytes: &mut impl BufReader<'a> ) -> Result<SumType, DecodeError>

pub fn encode(&self, bytes: &mut impl BufWriter)

impl SumType

pub const fn new(variants: Vec<SumTypeVariant>) -> SumType

Returns a sum type with these possible variants.

pub fn new_unnamed(types: Vec<AlgebraicType>) -> SumType

Returns a sum type of unnamed variants taken from types.

pub fn as_option(&self) -> Option<&AlgebraicType>

Returns whether this sum type looks like an option type.

An option type has some(T) as its first variant and none as its second. That is, { some(T), none } or some: T | none depending on your notation.

pub fn is_simple_enum(&self) -> bool

Returns whether this sum type is like on in C without data attached to the variants.

impl SumType

pub fn as_value(&self) -> AlgebraicValue

pub fn from_value( value: &AlgebraicValue ) -> Result<SumType, ValueDeserializeError>
