Macro for generating pseudo-enums for type-level programming.
This is somewhat like https://github.com/fmease/tylift but implemented with macro_rules!
syntax.
[dependencies]
enum-to-types = "0.1.0"
use enum_to_types::enum_to_types;
use std::marker::PhantomData;
enum_to_types!(AccessLevel; User, Admin);
struct DataStorage<T: AccessLevel::AccessLevel>(i32, PhantomData<T>);
impl<T: AccessLevel::AccessLevel> DataStorage<T> {
fn new(i: i32) -> Self {
Self(i, PhantomData)
}
}
trait ReadStorage<T: AccessLevel::AccessLevel> {
fn read(&self) -> i32;
}
impl ReadStorage<AccessLevel::Admin> for DataStorage<AccessLevel::User> {
fn read(&self) -> i32 {
self.0
}
}
impl ReadStorage<AccessLevel::User> for DataStorage<AccessLevel::User> {
fn read(&self) -> i32 {
self.0
}
}
impl ReadStorage<AccessLevel::Admin> for DataStorage<AccessLevel::Admin> {
fn read(&self) -> i32 {
self.0
}
}
impl ReadStorage<AccessLevel::User> for DataStorage<AccessLevel::Admin> {
fn read(&self) -> i32 {
panic!("You have no rights to read this");
}
}
fn main() {
let storage = DataStorage::<AccessLevel::Admin>::new(1);
assert_eq!(<DataStorage::<AccessLevel::Admin> as ReadStorage<AccessLevel::Admin>>::read(&storage), 1);
let storage = DataStorage::<AccessLevel::User>::new(5);
assert_eq!(<DataStorage::<AccessLevel::User> as ReadStorage<AccessLevel::User>>::read(&storage), 5);
// reading storage with `AccessLevel::Admin` by user will cause panic
}
This may look very verbose, but it gives a lot of flexibility. Also, other examples can look less verbose.
