The `derive` attribute generates +code that will implement a trait with its own default implementation on the +type you’ve annotated with the `derive` syntax. + +In this appendix, we provide a reference of all the traits in the standard +library that you can use with `derive`. Each section covers: + +* What operators and methods deriving this trait will enable +* What the implementation of the trait provided by `derive` does +* What implementing the trait signifies about the type +* The conditions in which you’re allowed or not allowed to implement the trait +* Examples of operations that require the trait + +If you want different behavior from that provided by the `derive` attribute, +consult the standard library documentation for each trait for details on how to +manually implement them. + +The traits listed here are the only ones defined by the standard library that +can be implemented on your types using `derive`. Other traits defined in the +standard library don’t have sensible default behavior, so it’s up to you to +implement them in the way that makes sense for what you’re trying to accomplish. + +An example of a trait that can’t be derived is `Display`, which handles +formatting for end users. You should always consider the appropriate way to +display a type to an end user. What parts of the type should an end user be +allowed to see? What parts would they find relevant? What format of the data +would be most relevant to them? The Rust compiler doesn’t have this insight, so +it can’t provide appropriate default behavior for you. + +The list of derivable traits provided in this appendix is not comprehensive: +libraries can implement `derive` for their own traits, making the list of +traits you can use `derive` with truly open ended. Implementing `derive` +involves using a procedural macro, which is covered in “Macros” on page XX. + +## Debug for Programmer Output + +The `Debug` trait enables debug formatting in format strings, which you +indicate by adding `:?` within `{}` placeholders. + +The `Debug` trait allows you to print instances of a type for debugging +purposes, so you and other programmers using your type can inspect an instance +at a particular point in a program’s execution. + +The `Debug` trait is required, for example, in the use of the `assert_eq!` +macro. This macro prints the values of instances given as arguments if the +equality assertion fails so programmers can see why the two instances weren’t +equal. + +## PartialEq and Eq for Equality Comparisons + +The `PartialEq` trait allows you to compare instances of a type to check for +equality and enables use of the `==` and `!=` operators. + +Deriving `PartialEq` implements the `eq` method. When `PartialEq` is derived on +structs, two instances are equal only if *all* fields are equal, and the +instances are not equal if any fields are not equal. When derived on enums, +each variant is equal to itself and not equal to the other variants. + +The `PartialEq` trait is required, for example, with the use of the +`assert_eq!` macro, which needs to be able to compare two instances of a type +for equality. + +The `Eq` trait has no methods. Its purpose is to signal that for every value of +the annotated type, the value is equal to itself. The `Eq` trait can only be +applied to types that also implement `PartialEq`, although not all types that +implement `PartialEq` can implement `Eq`. One example of this is floating-point +number types: the implementation of floating-point numbers states that two +instances of the not-a-number (`NaN`) value are not equal to each other. + +An example of when `Eq` is required is for keys in a `HashMap<K, V>` so that +the `HashMap<K, V>` can tell whether two keys are the same. + +## PartialOrd and Ord for Ordering Comparisons + +The `PartialOrd` trait allows you to compare instances of a type for sorting +purposes. A type that implements `PartialOrd` can be used with the `<`, `>`, +`<=`, and `>=` operators. You can only apply the `PartialOrd` trait to types +that also implement `PartialEq`. + +Deriving `PartialOrd` implements the `partial_cmp` method, which returns an +`Option<Ordering>` that will be `None` when the values given don’t produce an +ordering. An example of a value that doesn’t produce an ordering, even though +most values of that type can be compared, is the not-a-number (`NaN`) floating +point value. Calling `partial_cmp` with any floating-point number and the `NaN` +floating-point value will return `None`. + +When derived on structs, `PartialOrd` compares two instances by comparing the +value in each field in the order in which the fields appear in the struct +definition. When derived on enums, variants of the enum declared earlier in the +enum definition are considered less than the variants listed later. + +The `PartialOrd` trait is required, for example, for the `gen_range` method +from the `rand` crate that generates a random value in the range specified by a +range expression. + +The `Ord` trait allows you to know that for any two values of the annotated +type, a valid ordering will exist. The `Ord` trait implements the `cmp` method, +which returns an `Ordering` rather than an `Option<Ordering>` because a valid +ordering will always be possible. You can only apply the `Ord` trait to types +that also implement `PartialOrd` and `Eq` (and `Eq` requires `PartialEq`). When +derived on structs and enums, `cmp` behaves the same way as the derived +implementation for `partial_cmp` does with `PartialOrd`. + +An example of when `Ord` is required is when storing values in a `BTreeSet<T>`, +a data structure that stores data based on the sort order of the values. + +## Clone and Copy for Duplicating Values + +The `Clone` trait allows you to explicitly create a deep copy of a value, and +the duplication process might involve running arbitrary code and copying heap +data. See “Variables and Data Interacting with Clone” on page XX for more +information on `Clone`. + +Deriving `Clone` implements the `clone` method, which when implemented for the +whole type, calls `clone` on each of the parts of the type. This means all the +fields or values in the type must also implement `Clone` to derive `Clone`. + +An example of when `Clone` is required is when calling the `to_vec` method on a +slice. The slice doesn’t own the type instances it contains, but the vector +returned from `to_vec` will need to own its instances, so `to_vec` calls +`clone` on each item. Thus the type stored in the slice must implement `Clone`. + +The `Copy` trait allows you to duplicate a value by only copying bits stored on +the stack; no arbitrary code is necessary. See “Stack-Only Data: Copy” on page +XX for more information on `Copy`. + +The `Copy` trait doesn’t define any methods to prevent programmers from +overloading those methods and violating the assumption that no arbitrary code +is being run. That way, all programmers can assume that copying a value will be +very fast. + +You can derive `Copy` on any type whose parts all implement `Copy`. A type that +implements `Copy` must also implement `Clone` because a type that implements +`Copy` has a trivial implementation of `Clone` that performs the same task as +`Copy`. + +The `Copy` trait is rarely required; types that implement `Copy` have +optimizations available, meaning you don’t have to call `clone`, which makes +the code more concise. + +Everything possible with `Copy` you can also accomplish with `Clone`, but the +code might be slower or have to use `clone` in places. + +## Hash for Mapping a Value to a Value of Fixed Size + +The `Hash` trait allows you to take an instance of a type of arbitrary size and +map that instance to a value of fixed size using a hash function. Deriving +`Hash` implements the `hash` method. The derived implementation of the `hash` +method combines the result of calling `hash` on each of the parts of the type, +meaning all fields or values must also implement `Hash` to derive `Hash`. + +An example of when `Hash` is required is in storing keys in a `HashMap<K, V>` +to store data efficiently. + +## Default for Default Values + +The `Default` trait allows you to create a default value for a type. Deriving +`Default` implements the `default` function. The derived implementation of the +`default` function calls the `default` function on each part of the type, +meaning all fields or values in the type must also implement `Default` to +derive `Default`. + +The `Default::default` function is commonly used in combination with the struct +update syntax discussed in “Creating Instances from Other Instances with Struct +Update Syntax” on page XX. You can customize a few fields of a struct and then +set and use a default value for the rest of the fields by using +`..Default::default()`. + +The `Default` trait is required when you use the method `unwrap_or_default` on +`Option<T>` instances, for example. If the `Option<T>` is `None`, the method +`unwrap_or_default` will return the result of `Default::default` for the type +`T` stored in the `Option<T>`. + diff --git a/src/doc/book/nostarch/appendix_d.md b/src/doc/book/nostarch/appendix_d.md new file mode 100644 index 000000000..96b73e954 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/doc/book/nostarch/appendix_d.md @@ -0,0 +1,175 @@ +<!-- DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE. + +This file is periodically generated from the content in the `/src/` +directory, so all fixes need to be made in `/src/`. +--> + +[TOC] + +## Appendix D: Useful Development Tools + +In this appendix, we talk about some useful development tools that the Rust +project provides. We’ll look at automatic formatting, quick ways to apply +warning fixes, a linter, and integrating with IDEs. + +## Automatic Formatting with rustfmt + +The `rustfmt` tool reformats your code according to the community code style. +Many collaborative projects use `rustfmt` to prevent arguments about which +style to use when writing Rust: everyone formats their code using the tool. + +Rust installations include `rustfmt` by default, so you should already have the +programs `rustfmt` and `cargo-fmt` on your system. These two commands are +analagous to `rustc` and `cargo` in that `rustfmt` allows finer-grained control +and `cargo-fmt` understands conventions of a project that uses Cargo. To format +any Cargo project, enter the following: + +``` +$ cargo fmt +``` + +Running this command reformats all the Rust code in the current crate. This +should only change the code style, not the code semantics. For more information +on `rustfmt`, see its documentation at *https://github.com/rust-lang/rustfmt*. + +## Fix Your Code with rustfix + +The `rustfix` tool is included with Rust installations and can automatically +fix compiler warnings that have a clear way to correct the problem that’s +likely what you want. You’ve probably seen compiler warnings before. For +example, consider this code: + +Filename: src/main.rs + +``` +fn do_something() {} + +fn main() { + for i in 0..100 { + do_something(); + } +} +``` + +Here, we’re calling the `do_something` function 100 times, but we never use the +variable `i` in the body of the `for` loop.

We can automatically +apply that suggestion using the `rustfix` tool by running the command `cargo +fix`: + +``` +$ cargo fix + Checking myprogram v0.1.0 (file:///projects/myprogram) + Fixing src/main.rs (1 fix) + Finished dev [unoptimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 0.59s +``` + +When we look at *src/main.rs* again, we’ll see that `cargo fix` has changed the +code: + +Filename: src/main.rs + +``` +fn do_something() {} + +fn main() { + for _i in 0..100 { + do_something(); + } +} +``` + +The `for` loop variable is now named `_i`, and the warning no longer appears. + +You can also use the `cargo fix` command to transition your code between +different Rust editions. Editions are covered in Appendix E. + +## More Lints with Clippy + +The Clippy tool is a collection of lints to analyze your code so you can catch +common mistakes and improve your Rust code. Clippy is included with standard +Rust installations. + +To run Clippy’s lints on any Cargo project, enter the following: + +``` +$ cargo clippy +``` + +For example, say you write a program that uses an approximation of a +mathematical constant, such as pi, as this program does: + +Filename: src/main.rs + +``` +fn main() { + let x = 3.1415; + let r = 8.0; + println!("the area of the circle is {}", x * r * r); +} +``` + +Running `cargo clippy` on this project results in this error: + +``` +error: approximate value of `f{32, 64}::consts::PI` found + --> src/main.rs:2:13 + | +2 | let x = 3.1415; + | ^^^^^^ + | + = note: `#[deny(clippy::approx_constant)]` on by default + = help: consider using the constant directly + = help: for further information visit https://rust-lang.github.io/rust- +clippy/master/index.html#approx_constant +``` + +This error lets you know that Rust already has a more precise `PI` constant +defined, and that your program would be more correct if you used the constant +instead. You would then change your code to use the `PI` constant. + +The following code doesn’t result in any errors or warnings from Clippy: + +Filename: src/main.rs + +``` +fn main() { + let x = std::f64::consts::PI; + let r = 8.0; + println!("the area of the circle is {}", x * r * r); +} +``` + +For more information on Clippy, see its documentation at +*https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy**.* + +## IDE Integration Using rust-analyzer + +To help with IDE integration, the Rust community recommends using +`rust-analyzer`.

This appendix talks about what that means! + +The Rust language and compiler have a six-week release cycle, meaning users get +a constant stream of new features. Other programming languages release larger +changes less often; Rust releases smaller updates more frequently. After a +while, all of these tiny changes add up. But from release to release, it can be +difficult to look back and say, “Wow, between Rust 1.10 and Rust 1.31, Rust has +changed a lot!” + +Every two or three years, the Rust team produces a new Rust *edition*. Each +edition brings together the features that have landed into a clear package with +fully updated documentation and tooling. New editions ship as part of the usual +six-week release process. + +Editions serve different purposes for different people: + +* For active Rust users, a new edition brings together incremental changes into +an easy-to-understand package. +* For non-users, a new edition signals that some major advancements have +landed, which might make Rust worth another look. +* For those developing Rust, a new edition provides a rallying point for the +project as a whole. + +At the time of this writing, three Rust editions are available: Rust 2015, Rust +2018, and Rust 2021. This book is written using Rust 2021 edition idioms. + +The `edition` key in *Cargo.toml* indicates which edition the compiler should +use for your code. If the key doesn’t exist, Rust uses `2015` as the edition +value for backward compatibility reasons. + +Each project can opt in to an edition other than the default 2015 edition. +Editions can contain incompatible changes, such as including a new keyword that +conflicts with identifiers in code. However, unless you opt in to those +changes, your code will continue to compile even as you upgrade the Rust +compiler version you use. + +All Rust compiler versions support any edition that existed prior to that +compiler’s release, and they can link crates of any supported editions +together. Edition changes only affect the way the compiler initially parses +code. Therefore, if you’re using Rust 2015 and one of your dependencies uses +Rust 2018, your project will compile and be able to use that dependency. The +opposite situation, where your project uses Rust 2018 and a dependency uses +Rust 2015, works as well. + +To be clear: most features will be available on all editions. Developers using +any Rust edition will continue to see improvements as new stable releases are +made. However, in some cases, mainly when new keywords are added, some new +features might only be available in later editions.

Traditionally, this +realm of programming is seen as arcane, accessible to only a select few who +have devoted the necessary years learning it to avoid its infamous pitfalls. +And even those who practice it do so with caution, lest their code be open to +exploits, crashes, or corruption. + +Rust breaks down these barriers by eliminating the old pitfalls and providing a +friendly, polished set of tools to help you along the way. Programmers who need +to “dip down” into lower-level control can do so with Rust, without taking on +the customary risk of crashes or security holes and without having to learn the +fine points of a fickle toolchain. Better yet, the language is designed to +guide you naturally toward reliable code that is efficient in terms of speed +and memory usage. + +Programmers who are already working with low-level code can use Rust to raise +their ambitions. For example, introducing parallelism in Rust is a relatively +low-risk operation: the compiler will catch the classical mistakes for you. And +you can tackle more aggressive optimizations in your code with the confidence +that you won’t accidentally introduce crashes or vulnerabilities. + +But Rust isn’t limited to low-level systems programming. It’s expressive and +ergonomic enough to make CLI apps, web servers, and many other kinds of code +quite pleasant to write—you’ll find simple examples later in the book. Working +with Rust allows you to build skills that transfer from one domain to another; +you can learn Rust by writing a web app, then apply those same skills to target +your Raspberry Pi. + +This book fully embraces the potential of Rust to empower its users. It’s a +friendly and approachable text intended to help you level up not just your +knowledge of Rust, but also your reach and confidence as a programmer in +general.

On top of a +general update to reflect these improvements, this rendition of the book has a +number of improvements to address specific feedback: + +* Chapter 7 contains a new quick reference section on organizing your code into +multiple files with modules. +* Chapter 13 has new and improved closure examples that more clearly illustrate +captures, the `move` keyword, and the `Fn` traits. +* We fixed a number of small errors and imprecise wording throughout the book. +Thank you to the readers who reported them! + +Note that any code from earlier renditions of this book that compiled will +continue to compile with the relevant edition in the project’s *Cargo.toml*, +even as you update the Rust compiler version you’re using. That’s Rust’s +backward-compatibility guarantees at work! + +## Introduction + +Welcome to *The Rust Programming Language*, an introductory book about Rust. +The Rust programming language helps you write faster, more reliable software. +High-level ergonomics and low-level control are often at odds in programming +language design; Rust challenges that conflict. Through balancing powerful +technical capacity and a great developer experience, Rust gives you the option +to control low-level details (such as memory usage) without all the hassle +traditionally associated with such control. + +## Who Rust Is For + +Rust is ideal for many people for a variety of reasons. Let’s look at a few of +the most important groups. + +### Teams of Developers + +Rust is proving to be a productive tool for collaborating among large teams of +developers with varying levels of systems programming knowledge. Low-level code +is prone to various subtle bugs, which in most other languages can only be +caught through extensive testing and careful code review by experienced +developers. In Rust, the compiler plays a gatekeeper role by refusing to +compile code with these elusive bugs, including concurrency bugs. By working +alongside the compiler, the team can spend their time focusing on the program’s +logic rather than chasing down bugs. + +Rust also brings contemporary developer tools to the systems programming world: + +* Cargo, the included dependency manager and build tool, makes adding, +compiling, and managing dependencies painless and consistent across the Rust +ecosystem. +* The `rustfmt` formatting tool ensures a consistent coding style across +developers. +* The Rust Language Server powers integrated development environment (IDE) +integration for code completion and inline error messages. + +By using these and other tools in the Rust ecosystem, developers can be +productive while writing systems-level code. + +### Students + +Rust is for students and those who are interested in learning about systems +concepts. Using Rust, many people have learned about topics like operating +systems development. The community is very welcoming and happy to answer +students’ questions. Through efforts such as this book, the Rust teams want to +make systems concepts more accessible to more people, especially those new to +programming. + +### Companies + +Hundreds of companies, large and small, use Rust in production for a variety of +tasks, including command line tools, web services, DevOps tooling, embedded +devices, audio and video analysis and transcoding, cryptocurrencies, +bioinformatics, search engines, Internet of Things applications, machine +learning, and even major parts of the Firefox web browser. + +### Open Source Developers + +Rust is for people who want to build the Rust programming language, community, +developer tools, and libraries. We’d love to have you contribute to the Rust +language. + +### People Who Value Speed and Stability + +Rust is for people who crave speed and stability in a language. By speed, we +mean both how quickly Rust code can run and the speed at which Rust lets you +write programs. The Rust compiler’s checks ensure stability through feature +additions and refactoring. This is in contrast to the brittle legacy code in +languages without these checks, which developers are often afraid to modify. By +striving for zero-cost abstractions, higher-level features that compile to +lower-level code as fast as code written manually, Rust endeavors to make safe +code be fast code as well. + +The Rust language hopes to support many other users as well; those mentioned +here are merely some of the biggest stakeholders. Overall, Rust’s greatest +ambition is to eliminate the trade-offs that programmers have accepted for +decades by providing safety *and* productivity, speed *and* ergonomics. Give +Rust a try and see if its choices work for you. + +## Who This Book Is For + +This book assumes that you’ve written code in another programming language, but +doesn’t make any assumptions about which one. We’ve tried to make the material +broadly accessible to those from a wide variety of programming backgrounds. We +don’t spend a lot of time talking about what programming *is* or how to think +about it. If you’re entirely new to programming, you would be better served by +reading a book that specifically provides an introduction to programming. + +## How to Use This Book + +In general, this book assumes that you’re reading it in sequence from front to +back. Later chapters build on concepts in earlier chapters, and earlier +chapters might not delve into details on a particular topic but will revisit +the topic in a later chapter. + +You’ll find two kinds of chapters in this book: concept chapters and project +chapters. In concept chapters, you’ll learn about an aspect of Rust. In project +chapters, we’ll build small programs together, applying what you’ve learned so +far. Chapter 2, Chapter 12, and Chapter 20 are project chapters; the rest are +concept chapters. + +**Chapter 1** explains how to install Rust, how to write a “Hello, world!” +program, and how to use Cargo, Rust’s package manager and build tool. **Chapter +2** is a hands-on introduction to writing a program in Rust, having you build +up a number-guessing game. Here, we cover concepts at a high level, and later +chapters will provide additional detail. If you want to get your hands dirty +right away, Chapter 2 is the place for that. **Chapter 3** covers Rust features +that are similar to those of other programming languages, and in **Chapter 4** +you’ll learn about Rust’s ownership system. If you’re a particularly meticulous +learner who prefers to learn every detail before moving on to the next, you +might want to skip Chapter 2 and go straight to Chapter 3, returning to Chapter +2 when you’d like to work on a project applying the details you’ve learned. + +**Chapter 5** discusses structs and methods, and **Chapter 6** covers enums, +`match` expressions, and the `if let` control flow construct. You’ll use +structs and enums to make custom types in Rust. + +In **Chapter 7**, you’ll learn about Rust’s module system and about privacy +rules for organizing your code and its public application programming interface +(API). **Chapter 8** discusses some common collection data structures that the +standard library provides, such as vectors, strings, and hash maps. **Chapter +9** explores Rust’s error-handling philosophy and techniques. + +**Chapter 10** digs into generics, traits, and lifetimes, which give you the +power to define code that applies to multiple types. **Chapter 11** is all +about testing, which even with Rust’s safety guarantees is necessary to ensure +your program’s logic is correct. In **Chapter 12**, we’ll build our own +implementation of a subset of functionality from the `grep` command line tool +that searches for text within files. For this, we’ll use many of the concepts +we discussed in the previous chapters. + +**Chapter 13** explores closures and iterators: features of Rust that come from +functional programming languages. In **Chapter 14**, we’ll examine Cargo in +more depth and talk about best practices for sharing your libraries with +others. **Chapter 15** discusses smart pointers that the standard library +provides and the traits that enable their functionality. + +In **Chapter 16**, we’ll walk through different models of concurrent +programming and talk about how Rust helps you program in multiple threads +fearlessly. **Chapter 17** looks at how Rust idioms compare to object-oriented +programming principles you might be familiar with. + +**Chapter 18** is a reference on patterns and pattern matching, which are +powerful ways of expressing ideas throughout Rust programs. **Chapter 19** +contains a smorgasbord of advanced topics of interest, including unsafe Rust, +macros, and more about lifetimes, traits, types, functions, and closures. + +In **Chapter 20**, we’ll complete a project in which we’ll implement a +low-level multithreaded web server! + +Finally, some appendices contain useful information about the language in a +more reference-like format**. Appendix A** covers Rust’s keywords, **Appendix +B** covers Rust’s operators and symbols, **Appendix C** covers derivable traits +provided by the standard library, **Appendix D** covers some useful development +tools, and **Appendix E** explains Rust editions. + +There is no wrong way to read this book: if you want to skip ahead, go for it! +You might have to jump back to earlier chapters if you experience any +confusion. But do whatever works for you. + +An important part of the process of learning Rust is learning how to read the +error messages the compiler displays: these will guide you toward working code. +As such, we’ll provide many examples that don’t compile along with the error +message the compiler will show you in each situation. Know that if you enter +and run a random example, it may not compile! Make sure you read the +surrounding text to see whether the example you’re trying to run is meant to +error. In most situations, we’ll lead you to the correct version of any code +that doesn’t compile. + +## Resources and How to Contribute to This Book + +This book is open source.
