Description
What it does
Detects an exhaustive pattern match and suggests replacing it with _
e.g.
`fn main() {
let b = A::B;
match b {
A::B | A::C => println!("Pattern is verbose")
}
}
#[derive(PartialEq)]
enum A {
B, C
}`
In the above case it's a little simple but when doing things with nested tuples something might be missed
Advantage
_is easier to read, epecially in cases of mathicng with nested tuples
Drawbacks
No response
Example
<code>
fn main() {
let b = A::B;
let a = 11;
match (a, b) {
(10, A::B | A::C) => println!("Pattern is verbose"),
_ => println!("Pattern is verbose")
}
}
#[derive(PartialEq)]
enum A {
B, C
}
Could be written as:
<code>
fn main() {
let b = A::B;
let a = 11;
match (a, b) {
(10, _) => println!("Pattern is verbose"),
_ => println!("Pattern is verbose")
}
}
#[derive(PartialEq)]
enum A {
B, C
}
