Fallible Collections.rs

Implement api on rust collection wich returns a result when an allocation error occurs. This is inspired a lot by RFC 2116.

The api currently propose a fallible interface for Vec, Box, Arc, Btree and Rc, a TryClone trait wich is implemented for primitive rust traits and a fallible format macro.

You can use this with tryclonederive crate wich derive TryClone for your own types.

Getting Started

fallible collections is available on crates.io. It is recommended to look there for the newest released version, as well as links to the newest builds of the docs.

At the point of the last update of this README, the latest published version could be used like this:

Add the following dependency to your Cargo manifest... Add feature std and rust157 to use the stabilized try_reserve api and the std HashMap type.

```toml [dependencies] fallible_collections = "0.4"

or

falliblecollections = { version = "0.4", features = ["std", "rust1_57"] } ```

...and see the docs for how to use it.

Example

Exemple of using the FallibleBox interface. ```rust use fallible_collections::FallibleBox;

fn main() { // this crate an Ordinary box but return an error on allocation failure let mut a = as FallibleBox<_>>::try_new(5).unwrap(); let mut b = Box::new(5);

assert_eq!(a, b);
*a = 3;
assert_eq!(*a, 3);

} ```

Exemple of using the FallibleVec interface. ```rust use fallible_collections::FallibleVec;

fn main() { // this crate an Ordinary Vec> but return an error on allocation failure let a: Vec> = tryvec![tryvec![42; 10].unwrap(); 100].unwrap(); let b: Vec> = vec![vec![42; 10]; 100]; asserteq!(a, b); asserteq!(a.try_clone().unwrap(), a); ... } ```
