# What `#[derive(Not)]` generates
The derived `Not` implementation simply negates all the fields of a
struct and returns that as a new instance of the struct.
For enums all fields of the active variant of the enum are negated and a new
instance of the same variant with these negated fields is returned.
## Tuple structs
When deriving for a tuple struct with two fields like this:
```rust
# use derive_more::Not;
#
#[derive(Not)]
struct MyInts(i32, i32);
```
Code like this will be generated:
```rust
# struct MyInts(i32, i32);
impl ::core::ops::Not for MyInts {
type Output = MyInts;
fn not(self) -> MyInts {
MyInts(self.0.not(), self.1.not())
}
}
```
The behaviour is similar with more or less fields.
## Regular structs
When deriving for a regular struct with two fields like this:
```rust
# use derive_more::Not;
#
#[derive(Not)]
struct Point2D {
x: i32,
y: i32,
}
```
Code like this will be generated:
```rust
# struct Point2D {
# x: i32,
# y: i32,
# }
impl ::core::ops::Not for Point2D {
type Output = Point2D;
fn not(self) -> Point2D {
Point2D {
x: self.x.not(),
y: self.y.not(),
}
}
}
```
The behaviour is similar with more or less fields.
## Enums
For each enum variant `Not` is derived in a similar way as it would be derived
if it would be its own type.
For instance when deriving `Not` for an enum like this:
```rust
# use derive_more::Not;
#
#[derive(Not)]
enum MixedInts {
SmallInt(i32),
BigInt(i64),
TwoSmallInts(i32, i32),
NamedSmallInts { x: i32, y: i32 },
UnsignedOne(u32),
UnsignedTwo(u32),
}
```
Code like this will be generated:
```rust
# enum MixedInts {
# SmallInt(i32),
# BigInt(i64),
# TwoSmallInts(i32, i32),
# NamedSmallInts { x: i32, y: i32 },
# UnsignedOne(u32),
# UnsignedTwo(u32),
# }
impl ::core::ops::Not for MixedInts {
type Output = MixedInts;
fn not(self) -> MixedInts {
match self {
MixedInts::SmallInt(__0) => MixedInts::SmallInt(__0.not()),
MixedInts::BigInt(__0) => MixedInts::BigInt(__0.not()),
MixedInts::TwoSmallInts(__0, __1) => MixedInts::TwoSmallInts(__0.not(), __1.not()),
MixedInts::NamedSmallInts { x: __0, y: __1 } => {
MixedInts::NamedSmallInts {
x: __0.not(),
y: __1.not(),
}
}
MixedInts::UnsignedOne(__0) => MixedInts::UnsignedOne(__0.not()),
MixedInts::UnsignedTwo(__0) => MixedInts::UnsignedTwo(__0.not()),
}
}
}
```
There is one important thing to remember though.
If you add a unit variant to the enum its return type will change from
`EnumType` to `Result<EnumType>`.
This is because Unit cannot have `Not` implemented.
So, when deriving `Not` for an enum like this:
```rust
# use derive_more::Not;
#
#[derive(Not)]
enum EnumWithUnit {
SmallInt(i32),
Unit,
}
```
Code like this will be generated:
```rust
# enum EnumWithUnit {
# SmallInt(i32),
# Unit,
# }
impl ::core::ops::Not for EnumWithUnit {
type Output = Result<EnumWithUnit, ::derive_more::ops::UnitError>;
fn not(self) -> Result<EnumWithUnit, ::derive_more::ops::UnitError> {
match self {
EnumWithUnit::SmallInt(__0) => Ok(EnumWithUnit::SmallInt(__0.not())),
EnumWithUnit::Unit => Err(::derive_more::ops::UnitError::new("not")),
}
}
}
```
