Struct arithmetic_typing::Tuple

pub struct Tuple<Prim: PrimitiveType = Num> { /* private fields */ }

Tuple type.

Most generally, a tuple type consists of three fragments: start, middle and end. Types at the start and at the end are heterogeneous, while the middle always contains items of the same type (but the number of these items can generally vary). A Slice is a partial case of a tuple type; i.e., a type with the empty start and end. Likewise, a Rust-like tuple is a tuple that only has a start.

Notation

A tuple type is denoted like (T, U, ...[V; _], X, Y), where T and U are types at the start, V is the middle type, and X, Y are types at the end. The number of middle elements can be parametric, such as N. If a tuple only has a start, this notation collapses into Rust-like (T, U). If a tuple only has a middle part (Self::as_slice() returns Some(_)), it is denoted as the corresponding slice, something like [T; N].

Indexing

Indexing is accessing tuple elements via an expression like xs.0. Tuple indexing is supported via FieldAccess expr, where the field name is a decimal usize number.

The indexing support for type inference is quite limited. For it to work, the receiver type must be known to be a tuple, and the index must be such that the type of the corresponding element is decidable. Otherwise, an UnsupportedIndex error will be raised.

Tuple type	Index	Outcome
(Num, Bool)	0	Num
(Num, Bool)	1	Bool
(Num, Bool)	2	Hard error; the index is out of bounds.
Num	0	Hard error; only tuples can be indexed.
[Num; _]	0	Error; the slice may be empty.
[Num; _ + 1]	0	Num; the slice is guaranteed to have 0th element.
(Bool, ...[Num; _])	0	Bool
(Bool, ...[Num; _])	1	Error; the slice part may be empty.
(...[Num; _], Bool)	0	Error; cannot decide if the result is Num or Bool.

Examples

Simple tuples can be created using the From trait. Complex tuples can be created via Self::new().

let simple_tuple = Tuple::from(vec![Type::NUM, Type::BOOL]);
assert_matches!(simple_tuple.parts(), ([_, _], None, []));
assert!(simple_tuple.as_slice().is_none());
assert_eq!(simple_tuple.to_string(), "(Num, Bool)");

let slice_tuple = Tuple::from(
   Type::NUM.repeat(UnknownLen::param(0)),
);
assert_matches!(slice_tuple.parts(), ([], Some(_), []));
assert!(slice_tuple.as_slice().is_some());
assert_eq!(slice_tuple.to_string(), "[Num; N]");

let complex_tuple = Tuple::new(
    vec![Type::NUM],
    Type::NUM.repeat(UnknownLen::param(0)),
    vec![Type::BOOL, Type::param(0)],
);
assert_matches!(complex_tuple.parts(), ([_], Some(_), [_, _]));
assert_eq!(complex_tuple.to_string(), "(Num, ...[Num; N], Bool, 'T)");

Implementations

impl<Prim: PrimitiveType> Tuple<Prim>

pub fn new( start: Vec<Type<Prim>>, middle: Slice<Prim>, end: Vec<Type<Prim>> ) -> Self

Creates a new complex tuple.

pub fn as_slice(&self) -> Option<&Slice<Prim>>

Returns this tuple as slice if it fits (has no start or end components).

pub fn parts(&self) -> (&[Type<Prim>], Option<&Slice<Prim>>, &[Type<Prim>])

Returns shared references to the parts comprising this tuple: start, middle, and end.

pub fn parts_mut( &mut self ) -> (&mut [Type<Prim>], Option<&mut Slice<Prim>>, &mut [Type<Prim>])

Returns exclusive references to the parts comprising this tuple: start, middle, and end.

pub fn len(&self) -> TupleLen

Returns the length of this tuple.

Examples

let tuple = Tuple::from(vec![Type::NUM, Type::BOOL]);
assert_eq!(tuple.len(), TupleLen::from(2));

let slice = Slice::new(Type::NUM, UnknownLen::param(0));
let tuple = Tuple::from(slice.clone());
assert_eq!(tuple.len(), TupleLen::from(UnknownLen::param(0)));

let tuple = Tuple::new(vec![], slice, vec![Type::BOOL]);
assert_eq!(tuple.len(), UnknownLen::param(0) + 1);

pub fn is_empty(&self) -> bool

Returns true iff this tuple is guaranteed to be empty.

pub fn element_types( &self ) -> impl Iterator<Item = (TupleIndex, &Type<Prim>)> + '_

Iterates over all distinct elements in this tuple. The iteration is performed in order.

Examples

let complex_tuple = Tuple::new(
    vec![Type::NUM],
    Slice::new(Type::NUM, UnknownLen::param(0)),
    vec![Type::BOOL, Type::param(0)],
);
let elements: Vec<_> = complex_tuple.element_types().collect();
assert_eq!(elements, [
    (TupleIndex::Start(0), &Type::NUM),
    (TupleIndex::Middle, &Type::NUM),
    (TupleIndex::End(0), &Type::BOOL),
    (TupleIndex::End(1), &Type::param(0)),
]);

Trait Implementations
