[−][src]Crate stdext
Additional features for the Rust standard library.
Description
This crate contains enhancements to the Rust standard library types, useful for
broad audience, but not yet implemented (or stabilized) in std
.
Crate is designed to be lightweight (no external dependencies!) and provide essential
functionality which possible can get to the std
some day.
Extension traits
All the new functionality the stanard library is added using extension traits.
Below you can find the table of all the extension traits introduced by this crate:
std structure | extension traits |
---|---|
Vec | VecExt and VecExtClone |
&str | StrExt |
Option | OptionExt |
Result | ResultExt |
Duration | DurationExt |
RwLock | RwLockExt |
Mutex | MutexExt |
Macros
Another group of extensions in stdext
is new macros:
compile_warning
for spawning a user-defined compilation warnings.function_name
for getting an enclosing function name.
Highlights
-
Convenient builder methods for
Duration
:use std::time::Duration; use stdext::prelude::*; let duration = Duration::from_minutes(1).add_secs(5).add_micros(100); assert_eq!(duration, Duration::new(65, 100_000));
-
Panicking version for
RwLock::read
,RwLock::write
andMutex::lock
(for fellows who don't really handle the lock poisoning):use std::sync::{Arc, RwLock}; use stdext::prelude::*; let lock = Arc::new(RwLock::new(1)); { let mut n = lock.force_write(); // Instead of `.write().unwrap()`. *n = 2; } let n = lock.force_read(); assert_eq!(*n, 2);
-
Result::combine
andOption::combine
to zip pairs of objects:use stdext::prelude::*; let x = Some(1); let y = Some("hi"); let z = None::<u8>; assert_eq!(x.combine(y), Some((1, "hi"))); assert_eq!(x.combine(z), None); let x = Ok(1); let y = Ok("hi"); let z: Result<i32, &str> = Err("error"); let z2: Result<i32, &str> = Err("other_error"); assert_eq!(x.combine(y), Ok((1, "hi"))); assert_eq!(x.combine(z), Err("error")); assert_eq!(z.combine(z2), Err("error"));
-
New handy macros (mostly for development purposes):
use stdext::{compile_warning, function_name}; fn sample_function() { println!("This function is called {}", function_name!()); compile_warning!("This function must do something else..."); }
