Fallible Collections.rs
==============
Implement api on rust collection wich returns a result when an allocation error occurs.
The api currently propose a fallible interface for Vec, Box, Arc, Btree and Rc,
a TryClone trait wich is implemented for primitive rust traits and a fallible format macro.
You can use this with try_clone_derive crate wich derive TryClone for your own types.
# Getting Started
[fallible collections is available on crates.io](https://crates.io/crates/fallible_collections).
It is recommended to look there for the newest released version, as well as links to the newest builds of the docs.
At the point of the last update of this README, the latest published version could be used like this:
Add the following dependency to your Cargo manifest...
Add feature std and rust_1_57 to use the stabilized try_reserve api and the std HashMap type. Obviously, you cannot combine it with the 'unstable' feature.
Add integration tests that can be run with the tiny_integration_tester command.
```toml
[dependencies]
fallible_collections = "0.4"
# or
fallible_collections = { version = "0.4", features = ["std", "rust_1_57"] }
```
...and see the [docs](https://docs.rs/fallible_collections) for how to use it.
# Example
Exemple of using the FallibleBox interface.
```rust
use fallible_collections::FallibleBox;
fn main() {
// this crate an Ordinary box but return an error on allocation failure
let mut a = <Box<_> as FallibleBox<_>>::try_new(5).unwrap();
let mut b = Box::new(5);
assert_eq!(a, b);
*a = 3;
assert_eq!(*a, 3);
}
```
Exemple of using the FallibleVec interface.
```rust
use fallible_collections::FallibleVec;
fn main() {
// this crate an Ordinary Vec<Vec<u8>> but return an error on allocation failure
let a: Vec<Vec<u8>> = try_vec![try_vec![42; 10].unwrap(); 100].unwrap();
let b: Vec<Vec<u8>> = vec![vec![42; 10]; 100];
assert_eq!(a, b);
assert_eq!(a.try_clone().unwrap(), a);
...
}
```
