Provides newtypes BoundedI32
, BoundedI64
, etc. which behave similar to their raw counterparts, but guarantee that the value is within a range that you specify.
In contrast to other crates like this, these types are implemented using the newly stabilized const generics feature, which allows for simplifications that make the use of this type more intuitive and idiomatic.
They are wrappers around a Result
, but implement traits like PartialEq<{Integer}>
and even Ord<{Integer}>
that make them act like integers in many ways. Some traits (like Add
, for example) are intentionally not implemented, since those would be invalid on out-of-bounds values.
use bounded_types::BoundedI64;
// If an in-bounds value is stored, comparisons behave like you would expect.
let bounded_ok: BoundedI64<2, 10> = 5.into();
assert!(bounded_ok == 5);
assert!(bounded_ok >= 5);
assert!(bounded_ok >= 4);
// you can compare with any integer
assert!(bounded_ok < 100);
assert!(bounded_ok > -100);
// If an out-of-bounds value is stored, comparisons always return `false`
let bounded_err: BoundedI64<2, 10> = 11.into();
assert_eq!(bounded_err == 11, false);
assert_eq!(bounded_err > 5, false);
