Previously, conversion to ints, uints, and BigUints clamped the value
within the range of that datatype. With this commit, conversion
overflows fail the task. To handle overflows gracefully, use the new
to_*_opt() methods.
The trait will keep the `Iterator` naming, but a more concise module
name makes using the free functions less verbose. The module will define
iterables in addition to iterators, as it deals with iteration in
general.
- use identifiers with underscores to avoid unused variable warning
- implement on R: Rng instead of on R: RngUtil
- bugfix: zero BigInts were being generated twice as often as any
other number
- test that gen_biguint(0) always returns zero
This is a generalization of the vector .rposition() method, to all
double-ended iterators that have the ExactSizeHint trait.
This resolves the slight asymmetry around `position` and `rposition`
* position from front is `vec.iter().position()`
* position from the back was, `vec.rposition()` is now `vec.iter().rposition()`
Additionally, other indexed sequences (only `extra::ringbuf` I think),
will have the same method available once it implements ExactSizeHint.
This removes the stacking of type parameters that occurs when invoking
trait methods, and fixes all places in the standard library that were
relying on it. It is somewhat awkward in places; I think we'll probably
want something like the `Foo::<for T>::new()` syntax.
- Made naming schemes consistent between Option, Result and Either
- Changed Options Add implementation to work like the maybe monad (return None if any of the inputs is None)
- Removed duplicate Option::get and renamed all related functions to use the term `unwrap` instead
The free-standing functions in f32, f64, i8, i16, i32, i64, u8, u16,
u32, u64, float, int, and uint are replaced with generic functions in
num instead.
This means that instead of having to know everywhere what the type is, like
~~~
f64::sin(x)
~~~
You can simply write code that uses the type-generic versions in num instead, this works for all types that implement the corresponding trait in num.
~~~
num::sin(x)
~~~
Note 1: If you were previously using any of those functions, just replace them
with the corresponding function with the same name in num.
Note 2: If you were using a function that corresponds to an operator, use the
operator instead.
Note 3: This is just https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/7090 reopened against master.
