Proposal
Macros can define traits, but not local and private traits. Local traits would be local to the macro invocation, private traits would be private to the macro.
E.g.
Before:
pub trait RwLockEvent<T: ::eventbus::Event> {
fn metadata_lock() -> &'static ::std::sync::RwLock<::eventbus::EventMetadata<T>>;
}
macro_rules! rwlock_event {
($t:ty) => (
impl $crate::macros::event::RwLockEvent<$t> for $t {
fn metadata_lock() -> &'static ::std::sync::RwLock<$crate::eventbus::EventMetadata<$t>> {
// TODO test whether this actually works
lazy_static! {
static ref EVENT_METADATA: ::std::sync::RwLock<$crate::eventbus::EventMetadata<$t>> = ::std::sync::RwLock::new($crate::eventbus::EventMetadata::new());
}
&EVENT_METADATA
}
}
impl Event for $t {
fn event_metadata<F, R>(f: F) -> R where F: FnOnce(&$crate::eventbus::EventMetadata<Self>) -> R {
f(&<Self as $crate::macros::event::RwLockEvent<$t>>::metadata_lock().read().unwrap())
}
fn mut_metadata<F, R>(f: F) -> R where F: FnOnce(&mut $crate::eventbus::EventMetadata<Self>) -> R {
f(&mut <Self as $crate::macros::event::RwLockEvent<$t>>::metadata_lock().write().unwrap())
}
}
);
}
RwLockEvent
is pub
and can be manually implemented.
After:
macro_rules! rwlock_event {
($t:ty) => (
local trait RwLockEvent<T: ::eventbus::Event> {
fn metadata_lock() -> &'static ::std::sync::RwLock<::eventbus::EventMetadata<T>>;
}
impl RwLockEvent<$t> for $t {
fn metadata_lock() -> &'static ::std::sync::RwLock<$crate::eventbus::EventMetadata<$t>> {
// TODO test whether this actually works
lazy_static! {
static ref EVENT_METADATA: ::std::sync::RwLock<$crate::eventbus::EventMetadata<$t>> = ::std::sync::RwLock::new($crate::eventbus::EventMetadata::new());
}
&EVENT_METADATA
}
}
impl Event for $t {
fn event_metadata<F, R>(f: F) -> R where F: FnOnce(&$crate::eventbus::EventMetadata<Self>) -> R {
f(&<Self as RwLockEvent<$t>>::metadata_lock().read().unwrap())
}
fn mut_metadata<F, R>(f: F) -> R where F: FnOnce(&mut $crate::eventbus::EventMetadata<Self>) -> R {
f(&mut <Self as RwLockEvent<$t>>::metadata_lock().write().unwrap())
}
}
);
}
RwLockEvent
is macro-local and an implementation detail. Other invocations of the same macro cannot see the impl, and the trait doesn't pollute the invocation context.
For private
, multiple invocations of the same macro would be able to see eachother, but the invocation context wouldn't.
Benefits
Significantly reduces dependency on $crate
. private
could be extended to extern crate
and use
for maximum $crate
reduction.
