// Go's defer in Rust, with error value return.
use std::rc::Rc;
use std::sync::RwLock;
struct Defer<F: Fn()> {
f: F
}
impl <F: Fn()> Drop for Defer<F> {
fn drop(&mut self) {
(self.f)()
}
}
// Only added this for Go-syntax familiarity ;-)
fn defer<F: Fn()>(f: F) -> Defer<F> {
Defer { f }
}
// Convenience type synonym. This is a reference-counted smart pointer to
// a shareable, mutable variable.
// Rust does not allow willy-nilly mutation of shared variables, so explicit
// write-locking must be performed.
type ErrorHandle<T> = Rc<RwLock<Option<T>>>;
///////////////////
// Usage example //
///////////////////
#[derive(Debug)] // Debug trait for some default way to print the type.
enum Error { DropError }
fn main() {
// Create a place to store the error.
let drop_err: ErrorHandle<Error> = Default::default(); // create empty error
// Introduce an arbitrary scope block (so that we still have control after
// the defer runs):
{
let mut i = 1;
// Rc types are safe to clone and share for multiple ownership.
let err_handle = drop_err.clone();
// Call defer and let the closure own the cloned handle to the error:
let token = defer(move || {
// do something!
println!("Value is: {}", i);
// ... oh no, it went wrong!
*err_handle.write().unwrap() = Some(Error::DropError);
});
i += 1;
println!("Value is: {}", i);
// token goes out of scope here - drop() is called.
}
match *drop_err.read().unwrap() {
Some(ref err) => println!("Oh no, an error occured: {:?}!", err),
None => println!("Phew, everything went well.")
};
}
// Prints:
// Value is: 2
// Value is: 1
// Oh no, an error occured: DropError!
