Tracking Issue for const Result methods · Issue #82814 · rust-lang/rust (original) (raw)

Feature gate: #![feature(const_result)]

This is a tracking issue for making a number of Result methods const fn.

Public API

NB: Many of these methods will need ~const Drop. They're omitted here for brevity.

impl<T, E> Result<T, E> { pub const fn as_mut(&mut self) -> Result<&mut T, &mut E>; }

impl<T, E> Result<Option, E> { pub const fn transpose(self) -> Option<Result<T, E>>; }

impl<T, E> Result<&T, E> { pub const fn copied(self) -> Result<T, E> where T: Copy; }

impl<T, E> Result<&mut T, E> { pub const fn copied(self) -> Result<T, E> where T: Copy; }

Note some things are missing compared with Option (#67441):

• unwrap, expect: drops the error, so cannot be done in const.
• flatten: is not stable yet on Result, even outside const.
• take, replace: does not exist on Result.
