Enum lattice_qcd_rs::error::Never

pub enum Never {}

A type that can never be (safely) initialized. This is temporary, until never is accepted into stable rust.

Example

trait Something {
    type Error;

    fn do_something(&self) -> Result<(), Self::Error>;
}

struct SomethingImpl;

impl Something for SomethingImpl {
    type Error = Never; // We never have an error

    fn do_something(&self) -> Result<(), Self::Error> {
        // implementation that never fails
        Ok(())
    }
}

the size of Never is 0

assert_eq!(std::mem::size_of::<Never>(), 0);
// the size is still zero. because () is size 0.
assert_eq!(std::mem::size_of::<Result<(), Never>>(), 0);
assert_eq!(std::mem::size_of::<Result<u8, Never>>(), 1);

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for Never

fn clone(&self) -> Never

Returns a copy of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for Never

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl<'de> Deserialize<'de> for Never

fn deserialize<__D>(__deserializer: __D) -> Result<Self, __D::Error>where __D: Deserializer<'de>,

Deserialize this value from the given Serde deserializer.

impl Display for Never

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Error for Never

fn source(&self) -> Option<&(dyn Error + 'static)>

The lower-level source of this error, if any.

fn description(&self) -> &str

👎Deprecated since 1.42.0: use the Display impl or to_string()

fn cause(&self) -> Option<&dyn Error>

👎Deprecated since 1.33.0: replaced by Error::source, which can support downcasting

fn provide<'a>(&'a self, demand: &mut Demand<'a>)

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (error_generic_member_access)

Provides type based access to context intended for error reports.

impl Hash for Never

fn hash<__H: Hasher>(&self, state: &mut __H)

Feeds this value into the given Hasher.

fn hash_slice<H>(data: &[Self], state: &mut H)where H: Hasher, Self: Sized,

Feeds a slice of this type into the given Hasher.

impl Ord for Never

fn cmp(&self, other: &Never) -> Ordering

This method returns an Ordering between self and other.

fn max(self, other: Self) -> Selfwhere Self: Sized,

Compares and returns the maximum of two values.

fn min(self, other: Self) -> Selfwhere Self: Sized,

Compares and returns the minimum of two values.

fn clamp(self, min: Self, max: Self) -> Selfwhere Self: Sized + PartialOrd<Self>,

Restrict a value to a certain interval.

impl PartialEq<Never> for Never

fn eq(&self, other: &Never) -> bool

This method tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

This method tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.

impl PartialOrd<Never> for Never

fn partial_cmp(&self, other: &Never) -> Option<Ordering>

This method returns an ordering between self and other values if one exists.

fn lt(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

This method tests less than (for self and other) and is used by the < operator.

fn le(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

This method tests less than or equal to (for self and other) and is used by the <= operator.

fn gt(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

This method tests greater than (for self and other) and is used by the > operator.

fn ge(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

This method tests greater than or equal to (for self and other) and is used by the >= operator.

impl Serialize for Never

fn serialize<__S>(&self, __serializer: __S) -> Result<__S::Ok, __S::Error>where __S: Serializer,

Serialize this value into the given Serde serializer.

impl Copy for Never

impl Eq for Never

impl StructuralEq for Never

impl StructuralPartialEq for Never
