An associated const has been referenced in a pattern.
|
||||
An associated `const`, `const` parameter or `static` has been referenced
|
||||
in a pattern.
|
||||
|
||||
Erroneous code example:
|
||||
|
||||
```compile_fail,E0158
|
||||
enum EFoo { A, B, C, D }
|
||||
|
||||
trait Foo {
|
||||
const X: EFoo;
|
||||
enum Foo {
|
||||
One,
|
||||
Two
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
fn test<A: Foo>(arg: EFoo) {
|
||||
trait Bar {
|
||||
const X: Foo;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
fn test<A: Bar>(arg: Foo) {
|
||||
match arg {
|
||||
A::X => { // error!
|
||||
println!("A::X");
|
||||
}
|
||||
A::X => println!("A::X"), // error: E0158: associated consts cannot be
|
||||
// referenced in patterns
|
||||
Foo::Two => println!("Two")
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`const` and `static` mean different things. A `const` is a compile-time
|
||||
constant, an alias for a literal value. This property means you can match it
|
||||
directly within a pattern.
|
||||
Associated `const`s cannot be referenced in patterns because it is impossible
|
||||
for the compiler to prove exhaustiveness (that some pattern will always match).
|
||||
Take the above example, because Rust does type checking in the *generic*
|
||||
method, not the *monomorphized* specific instance. So because `Bar` could have
|
||||
theoretically infinite implementations, there's no way to always be sure that
|
||||
`A::X` is `Foo::One`. So this code must be rejected. Even if code can be
|
||||
proven exhaustive by a programmer, the compiler cannot currently prove this.
|
||||
|
||||
The `static` keyword, on the other hand, guarantees a fixed location in memory.
|
||||
This does not always mean that the value is constant. For example, a global
|
||||
mutex can be declared `static` as well.
|
||||
The same holds true of `const` parameters and `static`s.
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to match against a `static`, consider using a guard instead:
|
||||
If you want to match against an associated `const`, `const` parameter or
|
||||
`static` consider using a guard instead:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
static FORTY_TWO: i32 = 42;
|
||||
trait Trait {
|
||||
const X: char;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
match Some(42) {
|
||||
Some(x) if x == FORTY_TWO => {}
|
||||
_ => {}
|
||||
static FOO: char = 'j';
|
||||
|
||||
fn test<A: Trait, const Y: char>(arg: char) {
|
||||
match arg {
|
||||
c if c == A::X => println!("A::X"),
|
||||
c if c == Y => println!("Y"),
|
||||
c if c == FOO => println!("FOO"),
|
||||
_ => ()
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|

```
