1 | //! Overloadable operators. |
2 | //! |
3 | //! Implementing these traits allows you to overload certain operators. |
4 | //! |
5 | //! Some of these traits are imported by the prelude, so they are available in |
6 | //! every Rust program. Only operators backed by traits can be overloaded. For |
7 | //! example, the addition operator (`+`) can be overloaded through the [`Add`] |
8 | //! trait, but since the assignment operator (`=`) has no backing trait, there |
9 | //! is no way of overloading its semantics. Additionally, this module does not |
10 | //! provide any mechanism to create new operators. If traitless overloading or |
11 | //! custom operators are required, you should look toward macros to extend |
12 | //! Rust's syntax. |
13 | //! |
14 | //! Implementations of operator traits should be unsurprising in their |
15 | //! respective contexts, keeping in mind their usual meanings and |
16 | //! [operator precedence]. For example, when implementing [`Mul`], the operation |
17 | //! should have some resemblance to multiplication (and share expected |
18 | //! properties like associativity). |
19 | //! |
20 | //! Note that the `&&` and `||` operators are currently not supported for |
21 | //! overloading. Due to their short circuiting nature, they require a different |
22 | //! design from traits for other operators like [`BitAnd`]. Designs for them are |
23 | //! under discussion. |
24 | //! |
25 | //! Many of the operators take their operands by value. In non-generic |
26 | //! contexts involving built-in types, this is usually not a problem. |
27 | //! However, using these operators in generic code, requires some |
28 | //! attention if values have to be reused as opposed to letting the operators |
29 | //! consume them. One option is to occasionally use [`clone`]. |
30 | //! Another option is to rely on the types involved providing additional |
31 | //! operator implementations for references. For example, for a user-defined |
32 | //! type `T` which is supposed to support addition, it is probably a good |
33 | //! idea to have both `T` and `&T` implement the traits [`Add<T>`][`Add`] and |
34 | //! [`Add<&T>`][`Add`] so that generic code can be written without unnecessary |
35 | //! cloning. |
36 | //! |
37 | //! # Examples |
38 | //! |
39 | //! This example creates a `Point` struct that implements [`Add`] and [`Sub`], |
40 | //! and then demonstrates adding and subtracting two `Point`s. |
41 | //! |
42 | //! ```rust |
43 | //! use std::ops::{Add, Sub}; |
44 | //! |
45 | //! #[derive(Debug, Copy, Clone, PartialEq)] |
46 | //! struct Point { |
47 | //! x: i32, |
48 | //! y: i32, |
49 | //! } |
50 | //! |
51 | //! impl Add for Point { |
52 | //! type Output = Self; |
53 | //! |
54 | //! fn add(self, other: Self) -> Self { |
55 | //! Self {x: self.x + other.x, y: self.y + other.y} |
56 | //! } |
57 | //! } |
58 | //! |
59 | //! impl Sub for Point { |
60 | //! type Output = Self; |
61 | //! |
62 | //! fn sub(self, other: Self) -> Self { |
63 | //! Self {x: self.x - other.x, y: self.y - other.y} |
64 | //! } |
65 | //! } |
66 | //! |
67 | //! assert_eq!(Point {x: 3, y: 3}, Point {x: 1, y: 0} + Point {x: 2, y: 3}); |
68 | //! assert_eq!(Point {x: -1, y: -3}, Point {x: 1, y: 0} - Point {x: 2, y: 3}); |
69 | //! ``` |
70 | //! |
71 | //! See the documentation for each trait for an example implementation. |
72 | //! |
73 | //! The [`Fn`], [`FnMut`], and [`FnOnce`] traits are implemented by types that can be |
74 | //! invoked like functions. Note that [`Fn`] takes `&self`, [`FnMut`] takes `&mut |
75 | //! self` and [`FnOnce`] takes `self`. These correspond to the three kinds of |
76 | //! methods that can be invoked on an instance: call-by-reference, |
77 | //! call-by-mutable-reference, and call-by-value. The most common use of these |
78 | //! traits is to act as bounds to higher-level functions that take functions or |
79 | //! closures as arguments. |
80 | //! |
81 | //! Taking a [`Fn`] as a parameter: |
82 | //! |
83 | //! ```rust |
84 | //! fn call_with_one<F>(func: F) -> usize |
85 | //! where F: Fn(usize) -> usize |
86 | //! { |
87 | //! func(1) |
88 | //! } |
89 | //! |
90 | //! let double = |x| x * 2; |
91 | //! assert_eq!(call_with_one(double), 2); |
92 | //! ``` |
93 | //! |
94 | //! Taking a [`FnMut`] as a parameter: |
95 | //! |
96 | //! ```rust |
97 | //! fn do_twice<F>(mut func: F) |
98 | //! where F: FnMut() |
99 | //! { |
100 | //! func(); |
101 | //! func(); |
102 | //! } |
103 | //! |
104 | //! let mut x: usize = 1; |
105 | //! { |
106 | //! let add_two_to_x = || x += 2; |
107 | //! do_twice(add_two_to_x); |
108 | //! } |
109 | //! |
110 | //! assert_eq!(x, 5); |
111 | //! ``` |
112 | //! |
113 | //! Taking a [`FnOnce`] as a parameter: |
114 | //! |
115 | //! ```rust |
116 | //! fn consume_with_relish<F>(func: F) |
117 | //! where F: FnOnce() -> String |
118 | //! { |
119 | //! // `func` consumes its captured variables, so it cannot be run more |
120 | //! // than once |
121 | //! println!("Consumed: {}" , func()); |
122 | //! |
123 | //! println!("Delicious!" ); |
124 | //! |
125 | //! // Attempting to invoke `func()` again will throw a `use of moved |
126 | //! // value` error for `func` |
127 | //! } |
128 | //! |
129 | //! let x = String::from("x" ); |
130 | //! let consume_and_return_x = move || x; |
131 | //! consume_with_relish(consume_and_return_x); |
132 | //! |
133 | //! // `consume_and_return_x` can no longer be invoked at this point |
134 | //! ``` |
135 | //! |
136 | //! [`clone`]: Clone::clone |
137 | //! [operator precedence]: ../../reference/expressions.html#expression-precedence |
