% Associated Constants
|
||
|
||
With the `associated_consts` feature, you can define constants like this:
|
||
|
||
```rust
|
||
#![feature(associated_consts)]
|
||
|
||
trait Foo {
|
||
const ID: i32;
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
impl Foo for i32 {
|
||
const ID: i32 = 1;
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
fn main() {
|
||
assert_eq!(1, i32::ID);
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Any implementor of `Foo` will have to define `ID`. Without the definition:
|
||
|
||
```rust,ignore
|
||
#![feature(associated_consts)]
|
||
|
||
trait Foo {
|
||
const ID: i32;
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
impl Foo for i32 {
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
gives
|
||
|
||
```text
|
||
error: not all trait items implemented, missing: `ID` [E0046]
|
||
impl Foo for i32 {
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
A default value can be implemented as well:
|
||
|
||
```rust
|
||
#![feature(associated_consts)]
|
||
|
||
trait Foo {
|
||
const ID: i32 = 1;
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
impl Foo for i32 {
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
impl Foo for i64 {
|
||
const ID: i32 = 5;
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
fn main() {
|
||
assert_eq!(1, i32::ID);
|
||
assert_eq!(5, i64::ID);
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
As you can see, when implementing `Foo`, you can leave it unimplemented, as
|
||
with `i32`. It will then use the default value. But, as in `i64`, we can also
|
||
add our own definition.
|
||
|
||
Associated constants don’t have to be associated with a trait. An `impl` block
|
||
for a `struct` works fine too:
|
||
|
||
```rust
|
||
#![feature(associated_consts)]
|
||
|
||
struct Foo;
|
||
|
||
impl Foo {
|
||
pub const FOO: u32 = 3;
|
||
}
|
||
```
