Adds several compile time checks for const generics.
Idea was based off of this reddit post.
#![feature(generic_const_exprs)]
flag.```rust
/// Only allows for arguments of C
to be alphabetic
struct AlphabeticTest
// All letters are alphabetic, check passes. let pass = AlphabeticTest::<'a'>; // Compiles let pass = AlphabeticTest::<'B'>; // Compiles let pass = AlphabeticTest::<'c'>; // Compiles
// Letters are not alphabetic, check fails. let fail = AlphabeticTest::<'1'>; // Compile error! let fail = AlphabeticTest::<'&'>; // Compile error! let fail = AlphabeticTest::<'3'>; // Compile error! ```
Custom checks can be implemented as well:
```rust
const fn isbinary(num: u8) -> bool { num == 0 || num == 1 }
struct BinaryOnly
let pass = BinaryOnly::<0>; // Compiles let pass = BinaryOnly::<1>; // Compiles
let fail = BinaryOnly::<2>; // Compiler error! ```
Checks can also be defined with the check!
macro, which will
also generate documentation / tests for example input:
```rust
check! { u8 =>
/// Matches all binary numbers (0, 1)
Binary(
passes: 0, 1
fails: 2, 3, 4
): |N| (N == 0 || N == 1)
}
struct BinaryOnly
let pass = BinaryOnly::<0>; // Compiles let pass = BinaryOnly::<1>; // Compiles
let fail = BinaryOnly::<2>; // Compiler error! ```
Full list of provided checks can be found on the docs.rs page.
