From f069e7159f1c6532a4c011cc192ff45cc96e5cdc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: est31 Date: Sat, 10 Dec 2022 04:36:23 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Correct wrong note for short circuiting operators They *are* representable by traits, even if the short-circuiting behaviour requires a different approach than the non-short-circuiting operators. For an example proposal, see the postponed RFC 2722. As it is not accurate, reword the note. --- library/core/src/ops/mod.rs | 8 ++++---- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/library/core/src/ops/mod.rs b/library/core/src/ops/mod.rs index a5e5b13b336..eb2a92f4644 100644 --- a/library/core/src/ops/mod.rs +++ b/library/core/src/ops/mod.rs @@ -17,10 +17,10 @@ //! should have some resemblance to multiplication (and share expected //! properties like associativity). //! -//!
