Description
Code
use serde::{Deserialize, de};
use std::collections::BTreeMap;
use std::str::FromStr;
#[derive(Deserialize, Debug, Clone)]
struct Struct {
a: (),
}
fn main() {}
pub struct StringValuedIntMapVisitor;
impl<'de> de::Visitor<'de> for StringValuedIntMapVisitor {
type Value = BTreeMap<u64, ()>;
fn expecting(&self, _: &mut std::fmt::Formatter) -> std::fmt::Result {
unimplemented!()
}
fn visit_map<M: de::MapAccess<'de>>(self, mut access: M) -> Result<Self::Value, M::Error> {
// use serde::de::Error;
while let Some((key_s, value)) = access.next_entry()? {
let _ = u64::from_str(key_s).map_err(|e| M::Error::custom(e))?;
}
unimplemented!()
}
}
