Overloadable operators.

Implementing these traits allows you to overload certain operators.

Some of these traits are imported by the prelude, so they are available in every Rust program. Only operators backed by traits can be overloaded. For example, the addition operator (+) can be overloaded through the Add trait, but since the assignment operator (=) has no backing trait, there is no way of overloading its semantics. Additionally, this module does not provide any mechanism to create new operators. If traitless overloading or custom operators are required, you should look toward macros or compiler plugins to extend Rust’s syntax.

Implementations of operator traits should be unsurprising in their respective contexts, keeping in mind their usual meanings and operator precedence. For example, when implementing Mul, the operation should have some resemblance to multiplication (and share expected properties like associativity).

Note that the && and || operators are currently not supported for overloading. Due to their short circuiting nature, they require a different design from traits for other operators like BitAnd. Designs for them are under discussion.

Many of the operators take their operands by value. In non-generic contexts involving built-in types, this is usually not a problem. However, using these operators in generic code, requires some attention if values have to be reused as opposed to letting the operators consume them. One option is to occasionally use clone. Another option is to rely on the types involved providing additional operator implementations for references. For example, for a user-defined type T which is supposed to support addition, it is probably a good idea to have both T and &T implement the traits Add<T> and Add<&T> so that generic code can be written without unnecessary cloning.

Examples

This example creates a Point struct that implements Add and Sub, and then demonstrates adding and subtracting two Points.

use std::ops::{Add, Sub};

#[derive(Debug, Copy, Clone, PartialEq)]
struct Point {
    x: i32,
    y: i32,
}

impl Add for Point {
    type Output = Self;

    fn add(self, other: Self) -> Self {
        Self {x: self.x + other.x, y: self.y + other.y}
    }
}

impl Sub for Point {
    type Output = Self;

    fn sub(self, other: Self) -> Self {
        Self {x: self.x - other.x, y: self.y - other.y}
    }
}

assert_eq!(Point {x: 3, y: 3}, Point {x: 1, y: 0} + Point {x: 2, y: 3});
assert_eq!(Point {x: -1, y: -3}, Point {x: 1, y: 0} - Point {x: 2, y: 3});

See the documentation for each trait for an example implementation.

The Fn, FnMut, and FnOnce traits are implemented by types that can be invoked like functions. Note that Fn takes &self, FnMut takes &mut self and FnOnce takes self. These correspond to the three kinds of methods that can be invoked on an instance: call-by-reference, call-by-mutable-reference, and call-by-value. The most common use of these traits is to act as bounds to higher-level functions that take functions or closures as arguments.

Taking a Fn as a parameter:

fn call_with_one<F>(func: F) -> usize
    where F: Fn(usize) -> usize
{
    func(1)
}

let double = |x| x * 2;
assert_eq!(call_with_one(double), 2);

Taking a FnMut as a parameter:

fn do_twice<F>(mut func: F)
    where F: FnMut()
{
    func();
    func();
}

let mut x: usize = 1;
{
    let add_two_to_x = || x += 2;
    do_twice(add_two_to_x);
}

assert_eq!(x, 5);

Taking a FnOnce as a parameter:

fn consume_with_relish<F>(func: F)
    where F: FnOnce() -> String
{
    // `func` consumes its captured variables, so it cannot be run more
    // than once
    println!("Consumed: {}", func());

    println!("Delicious!");

    // Attempting to invoke `func()` again will throw a `use of moved
    // value` error for `func`
}

let x = String::from("x");
let consume_and_return_x = move || x;
consume_with_relish(consume_and_return_x);

// `consume_and_return_x` can no longer be invoked at this point

Structs

A range only bounded inclusively above (..=end).

Enums

GeneratorStateExperimental
The result of a generator resumption.
Bound
An endpoint of a range of keys.
ControlFlow
Used to tell an operation whether it should exit early or go on as usual.

Traits

CoerceUnsizedExperimental
Trait that indicates that this is a pointer or a wrapper for one, where unsizing can be performed on the pointee.
DispatchFromDynExperimental
DispatchFromDyn is used in the implementation of object safety checks (specifically allowing arbitrary self types), to guarantee that a method’s receiver type can be dispatched on.
FromResidualExperimental
Used to specify which residuals can be converted into which crate::ops::Try types.
GeneratorExperimental
The trait implemented by builtin generator types.
OneSidedRangeExperimental
OneSidedRange is implemented for built-in range types that are unbounded on one side. For example, a.., ..b and ..=c implement OneSidedRange, but .., d..e, and f..=g do not.
ResidualExperimental
Allows retrieving the canonical type implementing Try that has this type as its residual and allows it to hold an O as its output.
TryExperimental
The ? operator and try {} blocks.
Add
The addition operator +.
AddAssign
The addition assignment operator +=.
BitAnd
The bitwise AND operator &.
BitAndAssign
The bitwise AND assignment operator &=.
BitOr
The bitwise OR operator |.
BitOrAssign
The bitwise OR assignment operator |=.
BitXor
The bitwise XOR operator ^.
BitXorAssign
The bitwise XOR assignment operator ^=.
Deref
Used for immutable dereferencing operations, like *v.
DerefMut
Used for mutable dereferencing operations, like in *v = 1;.
Div

RangeBounds
RangeBounds is implemented by Rust’s built-in range types, produced by range syntax like .., a.., ..b, ..=c, d..e, or f..=g.
Rem
The remainder operator %.
RemAssign
The remainder assignment operator %=.
Shl
The left shift operator <<. Note that because this trait is implemented for all integer types with multiple right-hand-side types, Rust’s type checker has special handling for _ << _, setting the result type for integer operations to the type of the left-hand-side operand. This means that though a << b and a.shl(b) are one and the same from an evaluation standpoint, they are different when it comes to type inference.
ShlAssign
The left shift assignment operator <<=.
Shr
The right shift operator >>. Note that because this trait is implemented for all integer types with multiple right-hand-side types, Rust’s type checker has special handling for _ >> _, setting the result type for integer operations to the type of the left-hand-side operand. This means that though a >> b and a.shr(b) are one and the same from an evaluation standpoint, they are different when it comes to type inference.
ShrAssign
The right shift assignment operator >>=.
Sub
The subtraction operator -.
SubAssign
The subtraction assignment operator -=.
