Derive Macro derive_more_impl::Not

#[derive(Not)]

Available on crate feature not only.

What #[derive(Not)] generates

The derived Not implementation simply negates all the fields of a struct and returns that as a new instance of the struct. For enums all fields of the active variant of the enum are negated and a new instance of the same variant with these negated fields is returned.

Tuple structs

When deriving for a tuple struct with two fields like this:

#[derive(Not)]
struct MyInts(i32, i32);

Code like this will be generated:

impl derive_more::Not for MyInts {
    type Output = MyInts;
    fn not(self) -> MyInts {
        MyInts(self.0.not(), self.1.not())
    }
}

The behaviour is similar with more or less fields.

Regular structs

When deriving for a regular struct with two fields like this:

#[derive(Not)]
struct Point2D {
    x: i32,
    y: i32,
}

Code like this will be generated:

impl derive_more::Not for Point2D {
    type Output = Point2D;
    fn not(self) -> Point2D {
        Point2D {
            x: self.x.not(),
            y: self.y.not(),
        }
    }
}

The behaviour is similar with more or less fields.

Enums

For each enum variant Not is derived in a similar way as it would be derived if it would be its own type. For instance when deriving Not for an enum like this:

#[derive(Not)]
enum MixedInts {
    SmallInt(i32),
    BigInt(i64),
    TwoSmallInts(i32, i32),
    NamedSmallInts { x: i32, y: i32 },
    UnsignedOne(u32),
    UnsignedTwo(u32),
}

Code like this will be generated:

impl derive_more::Not for MixedInts {
    type Output = MixedInts;
    fn not(self) -> MixedInts {
        match self {
            MixedInts::SmallInt(__0) => MixedInts::SmallInt(__0.not()),
            MixedInts::BigInt(__0) => MixedInts::BigInt(__0.not()),
            MixedInts::TwoSmallInts(__0, __1) => MixedInts::TwoSmallInts(__0.not(), __1.not()),
            MixedInts::NamedSmallInts { x: __0, y: __1 } => {
                MixedInts::NamedSmallInts {
                    x: __0.not(),
                    y: __1.not(),
                }
            }
            MixedInts::UnsignedOne(__0) => MixedInts::UnsignedOne(__0.not()),
            MixedInts::UnsignedTwo(__0) => MixedInts::UnsignedTwo(__0.not()),
        }
    }
}

There is one important thing to remember though. If you add a unit variant to the enum its return type will change from EnumType to Result<EnumType>. This is because Unit cannot have Not implemented. So, when deriving Not for an enum like this:

#[derive(Not)]
enum EnumWithUnit {
    SmallInt(i32),
    Unit,
}

Code like this will be generated:

impl derive_more::Not for EnumWithUnit {
    type Output = Result<EnumWithUnit, derive_more::UnitError>;
    fn not(self) -> Result<EnumWithUnit, derive_more::UnitError> {
        match self {
            EnumWithUnit::SmallInt(__0) => Ok(EnumWithUnit::SmallInt(__0.not())),
            EnumWithUnit::Unit => Err(derive_more::UnitError::new("not")),
        }
    }
}
