I know that @[email protected] is there. Maybe he can make you a mod there too? And the channel could be added to the sidebar of this community too.
This week some more work was done on inheriteRS to support inheriting non-trait implementations of functions.
Basically
use inheriters::specialisations;
specialisations!(
struct Parent {
attr1: u8,
}
impl Parent {
fn from_parent(self) -> u8 { 8 }
fn overridden(self) -> u8 { self.attr1 }
}
#[inherit(Child)]
struct Child {
attr2: u8,
}
impl Child {
fn overridden(self) -> u8 { self.attr2 }
}
);
results in
struct Parent {
attr1: u8,
}
impl Parent {
fn from_parent(self) -> u8 { 8 }
fn overridden(self) -> u8 { self.attr1 }
}
struct Child {
attr1: u8, // new
attr2: u8,
}
impl Child {
fn from_parent(self) -> u8 { 8 } // new
fn overridden(self) -> u8 { self.attr2 }
}
There might be some clean-up necessary code-wise and the README has to be expanded. But the project is well on its way to version 1! It's a pity codeberg doesn't have easy CI/CD yet nor domain hosting e.g inheriters.codeberg.io or something. So auto-formatting, testing, auto-tagging, etc. will have to come once I can convince myself to setup a VPS somewhere that hosts all that.
That sounds like fun! Wow. How stable is it at the moment?
Working on some form of inheritance in rust. It's my first foray into procedural macros and so far it's fun. The idea is quite simple: generate structs with common attributes (and eventually functions) instead writing them yourself.
use inheriters::specialisations;
specialisations!(
struct Parent {
attr1: u8,
}
#[inherit(Child)]
struct Child {
attr2: u8,
}
);
becomes
struct Parent {
attr1: u8,
}
struct Child {
attr1: u8,
attr2: u8,
}
not
struct Parent {
attr1: u8,
}
struct Child {
attr1: u8,
parent: Parent,
}
The latter leads to indirection which I'm not a fan of.
Last week I squashed one bug on the order of attributes according to inheritance. In the example above attr2 was coming before attr1. A feature is nearly done to exclude the Parent from the output and only output the child. That's useful for parents that just serve as holders for shared attributes.
The goal for v1 was to also support basic inheritance of implementations: Parent has an impl block, then that block is copied for the Child. Not sure yet if I'll implement overrides in v1 or v2. Overrides being if Parent implements do_something() and Child does too, then the implementation of Parent is not copied into the impl block.
That's what I'll try to tackle in the coming weeks.
Great, thank you! I'll be moving on to mkDerivation soon. Hopefully budding packagers will be less intimidated than I was when I started.
Thank you! I implemented some of the feedback (haven't pushed yet) and responded to the comments. Learned something ๐
Jottacloud is what I want to use. Unlimited storage for ~100โฌ/month
Close behind is 1fichier for 2โฌ/TB/month or 12โฌ/TB/year, but they are in France and "uptobox" (a similar provider) was shutdown by the US on French soil because they allowed providing links to the files.
You can probably find others in the list of storage systems supported by rclone
Thanks. It does look like the right library to use. A little surprising that it seems to be the only one that's up to date, but at least it exists!
