Two traits for enforcing that two types either must be the same or must be different.

Usage

To use in your crate, add this to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
distinct = "0.1.1"

and add this where you want to use it:

use distinct::{Distinct, NonDistinct};

For full documentation on how to use it, consult this crate's documentation on docs.rs.


lib.rs:

A pair of traits which can be used to ensure that two types either are distinct or are not distinct.

There are two traits: Distinct and NonDistinct. Distinct is implemented for tuples of two distinct types. NonDistinct is implemented for tuples of two of the same type.

Examples

use distinct::{Distinct, NonDistinct};
// Two functions which enforce that the given type is distinct.
fn assert_is_distinct<T: Distinct + ?Sized>() {}
fn assert_is_non_distinct<T: NonDistinct + ?Sized>() {}

assert_is_distinct::<(u32, u64)>();
assert_is_non_distinct::<(u32, u32)>();
