step_trait
)std
only.Expand description
Objects that have a notion of successor and predecessor operations.
The successor operation moves towards values that compare greater. The predecessor operation moves towards values that compare lesser.
Required Methods§
Sourcefn steps_between(start: &Self, end: &Self) -> (usize, Option<usize>)
🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (step_trait
)
fn steps_between(start: &Self, end: &Self) -> (usize, Option<usize>)
step_trait
)Returns the bounds on the number of successor steps required to get from start
to end
like Iterator::size_hint()
.
Returns (usize::MAX, None)
if the number of steps would overflow usize
, or is infinite.

Provided Methods§
Sourcefn forward(start: Self, count: usize) -> Self
🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (step_trait
)
fn forward(start: Self, count: usize) -> Self
step_trait
)Returns the value that would be obtained by taking the successor
of self
count
times.
If this would overflow the range of values supported by Self
,
this function is allowed to panic, wrap, or saturate.
The suggested behavior is to panic when debug assertions are enabled,
and to wrap or saturate otherwise.
Unsafe code should not rely on the correctness of behavior after overflow.
§Invariants
For any a
, n
, and m
, where no overflow occurs:
Step::forward(Step::forward(a, n), m) == Step::forward(a, n + m)

and n
, where no overflow occurs:
Step::forward_checked(a, n) == Some(Step::forward(a, n))
Step::forward(a, n) == (0..n).fold(a, |x, _| Step::forward(x, 1))
- Corollary:
Step::forward(a, 0) == a

Sourceunsafe fn forward_unchecked(start: Self, count: usize) -> Self
🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (step_trait
)
unsafe fn forward_unchecked(start: Self, count: usize) -> Self
step_trait
)Returns the value that would be obtained by taking the successor

§Safety
It is undefined behavior for this operation to overflow the
range of values supported by Self
. If you cannot guarantee that this
will not overflow, use forward
or forward_checked
instead.

Dyn Compatibility§
This trait is not dyn compatible.
In older versions of Rust, dyn compatibility was called "object safety", so this trait is not object safe.
