ControlFlow in std::ops - Rust (original) (raw)

Enum ControlFlow

1.55.0 · Source

pub enum ControlFlow<B, C = ()> {
    Continue(C),
    Break(B),
}

Expand description

Used to tell an operation whether it should exit early or go on as usual.

This is used when exposing things (like graph traversals or visitors) where you want the user to be able to choose whether to exit early. Having the enum makes it clearer – no more wondering “wait, what did falsemean again?” – and allows including a value.

Similar to Option and Result, this enum can be used with the ? operator to return immediately if the Break variant is present or otherwise continue normally with the value inside the Continue variant.

§Examples

Early-exiting from Iterator::try_for_each:

use std::ops::ControlFlow;

let r = (2..100).try_for_each(|x| {
    if 403 % x == 0 {
        return ControlFlow::Break(x)
    }

    ControlFlow::Continue(())
});
assert_eq!(r, ControlFlow::Break(13));

A basic tree traversal:

use std::ops::ControlFlow;

pub struct TreeNode<T> {
    value: T,
    left: Option<Box<TreeNode<T>>>,
    right: Option<Box<TreeNode<T>>>,
}

impl<T> TreeNode<T> {
    pub fn traverse_inorder<B>(&self, f: &mut impl FnMut(&T) -> ControlFlow<B>) -> ControlFlow<B> {
        if let Some(left) = &self.left {
            left.traverse_inorder(f)?;
        }
        f(&self.value)?;
        if let Some(right) = &self.right {
            right.traverse_inorder(f)?;
        }
        ControlFlow::Continue(())
    }
    fn leaf(value: T) -> Option<Box<TreeNode<T>>> {
        Some(Box::new(Self { value, left: None, right: None }))
    }
}

let node = TreeNode {
    value: 0,
    left: TreeNode::leaf(1),
    right: Some(Box::new(TreeNode {
        value: -1,
        left: TreeNode::leaf(5),
        right: TreeNode::leaf(2),
    }))
};
let mut sum = 0;

let res = node.traverse_inorder(&mut |val| {
    if *val < 0 {
        ControlFlow::Break(*val)
    } else {
        sum += *val;
        ControlFlow::Continue(())
    }
});
assert_eq!(res, ControlFlow::Break(-1));
assert_eq!(sum, 6);

§1.55.0

Move on to the next phase of the operation as normal.

§1.55.0

Exit the operation without running subsequent phases.

1.59.0 · Source

Returns true if this is a Break variant.

§Examples
use std::ops::ControlFlow;

assert!(ControlFlow::<&str, i32>::Break("Stop right there!").is_break());
assert!(!ControlFlow::<&str, i32>::Continue(3).is_break());

1.59.0 · Source

Returns true if this is a Continue variant.

§Examples
use std::ops::ControlFlow;

assert!(!ControlFlow::<&str, i32>::Break("Stop right there!").is_continue());
assert!(ControlFlow::<&str, i32>::Continue(3).is_continue());

1.83.0 · Source

Converts the ControlFlow into an Option which is Some if theControlFlow was Break and None otherwise.

§Examples
use std::ops::ControlFlow;

assert_eq!(ControlFlow::<&str, i32>::Break("Stop right there!").break_value(), Some("Stop right there!"));
assert_eq!(ControlFlow::<&str, i32>::Continue(3).break_value(), None);

1.83.0 · Source

Maps ControlFlow<B, C> to ControlFlow<T, C> by applying a function to the break value in case it exists.

assert_eq!(ControlFlow::<&str, i32>::Break("Stop right there!").continue_value(), None);
assert_eq!(ControlFlow::<&str, i32>::Continue(3).continue_value(), Some(3));

These are used only as part of implementing the iterator adapters. They have mediocre names and non-obvious semantics, so aren’t currently on a path to potential stabilization.

This impl block contains no items.

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (try_trait_v2 #84277)
