Add {BTreeMap,HashMap}::try_insert `{BTreeMap,HashMap}::insert(key, new_val)` returns `Some(old_val)` if the key was already in the map. It's often useful to assert no duplicate values are inserted. We experimented with `map.insert(key, val).unwrap_none()` (https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/62633), but decided that that's not the kind of method we'd like to have on `Option`s. `insert` always succeeds because it replaces the old value if it exists. One could argue that `insert()` is never the right method for panicking on duplicates, since already handles that case by replacing the value, only allowing you to panic after that already happened. This PR adds a `try_insert` method that instead returns a `Result::Err` when the key already exists. This error contains both the `OccupiedEntry` and the value that was supposed to be inserted. This means that unwrapping that result gives more context: ```rust map.insert(10, "world").unwrap_none(); // thread 'main' panicked at 'called `Option::unwrap_none()` on a `Some` value: "hello"', src/main.rs:8:29 ``` ```rust map.try_insert(10, "world").unwrap(); // thread 'main' panicked at 'called `Result::unwrap()` on an `Err` value: // OccupiedError { key: 10, old_value: "hello", new_value: "world" }', src/main.rs:6:33 ``` It also allows handling the failure in any other way, as you have full access to the `OccupiedEntry` and the value. `try_insert` returns a reference to the value in case of success, making it an alternative to `.entry(key).or_insert(value)`. r? ```@Amanieu``` Fixes https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/issues/3092 |
