Crate typle

A proc macro to generate multiple items for tuples. Example code:

use typle::typle;

struct MyStruct<T> {
    pub t: T,
}

#[typle(Tuple for 1..=3)]
impl<T> MyStruct<T>
where
    T: Tuple<u32>,
{
    fn max(&self) -> Option<u32> {
        let mut max = self.t[[0]];
        for typle_const!(i) in 1..T::LEN {
            if self.t[[i]] > max {
                max = self.t[[i]];
            }
        }
        Some(max)
    }
}

This code creates implementations for 1-, 2-, and 3-tuples:

impl MyStruct<(u32,)> {
    fn max(&self) -> Option<u32> {
        let mut max = self.t.0;
        {}
        Some(max)
    }
}
impl MyStruct<(u32, u32)> {
    fn max(&self) -> Option<u32> {
        let mut max = self.t.0;
        {
            {
                if self.t.1 > max {
                    max = self.t.1;
                }
            }
        }
        Some(max)
    }
}
impl MyStruct<(u32, u32, u32)> {
    fn max(&self) -> Option<u32> {
        let mut max = self.t.0;
        {
            {
                if self.t.1 > max {
                    max = self.t.1;
                }
            }
            {
                if self.t.2 > max {
                    max = self.t.2;
                }
            }
        }
        Some(max)
    }
}

The macro arguments Tuple for 1..=3 consist of an identifier Tuple, to use as a pseudo-trait in the where clause, and a range of tuple lengths 1..=3 for which the item will be created.

If the where clause constrains a generic type using the pseudo-trait then the generic type must be a tuple with a length within the macro range and where each element is constrained by the argument to the trait. The element constraint can either be an explicit type (Tuple<u32>) or other traits (Tuple<impl Clone + Debug>).

The elements of a tuple can be iterated over using a for loop with an iteration variable enclosed in typle_const! macro. As shown above, this executes the for loop body for each element in the tuple.

Note that T::LEN is a special path that is available on each tuple type to provide the number of elements.

Tuple elements are referenced using a double-bracketed index and a constant value, including an index created using typle_const!. Hence self.t[[i]] will be replaced by s.0, s.1,....
