Struct std::fmt::DebugSet

#[must_use = "must eventually call `finish()` on Debug builders"]
pub struct DebugSet<'a, 'b> where
    'b: 'a,
    'b: 'a,
    'b: 'b,  { /* fields omitted */ }

A struct to help with fmt::Debug implementations.

This is useful when you wish to output a formatted set of items as a part of your Debug::fmt implementation.

This can be constructed by the Formatter::debug_set method.

Examples

use std::fmt;

struct Foo(Vec<i32>);

impl fmt::Debug for Foo {
    fn fmt(&self, fmt: &mut fmt::Formatter) -> fmt::Result {
        fmt.debug_set().entries(self.0.iter()).finish()
    }
}

assert_eq!(
    format!("{:?}", Foo(vec![10, 11])),
    "{10, 11}",
);

Methods

impl<'a, 'b> DebugSet<'a, 'b> where
    'b: 'a, 

pub fn entry(&mut self, entry: &dyn Debug) -> &mut DebugSet<'a, 'b>

Adds a new entry to the set output.

Examples

use std::fmt;

struct Foo(Vec<i32>, Vec<u32>);

impl fmt::Debug for Foo {
    fn fmt(&self, fmt: &mut fmt::Formatter<'_>) -> fmt::Result {
        fmt.debug_set()
           .entry(&self.0) // Adds the first "entry".
           .entry(&self.1) // Adds the second "entry".
           .finish()
    }
}

assert_eq!(
    format!("{:?}", Foo(vec![10, 11], vec![12, 13])),
    "{[10, 11], [12, 13]}",
);

pub fn entries<D, I>(&mut self, entries: I) -> &mut DebugSet<'a, 'b> where
    D: Debug,
    I: IntoIterator<Item = D>, 

Adds the contents of an iterator of entries to the set output.

Examples

use std::fmt;

struct Foo(Vec<i32>, Vec<u32>);

impl fmt::Debug for Foo {
    fn fmt(&self, fmt: &mut fmt::Formatter<'_>) -> fmt::Result {
        fmt.debug_set()
           .entries(self.0.iter()) // Adds the first "entry".
           .entries(self.1.iter()) // Adds the second "entry".
           .finish()
    }
}

assert_eq!(
    format!("{:?}", Foo(vec![10, 11], vec![12, 13])),
    "{10, 11, 12, 13}",
);

pub fn finish(&mut self) -> Result<(), Error>

Finishes output and returns any error encountered.

Examples

use std::fmt;

struct Foo(Vec<i32>);

impl fmt::Debug for Foo {
    fn fmt(&self, fmt: &mut fmt::Formatter<'_>) -> fmt::Result {
        fmt.debug_set()
           .entries(self.0.iter())
           .finish() // Ends the struct formatting.
    }
}

assert_eq!(
    format!("{:?}", Foo(vec![10, 11])),
    "{10, 11}",
);
