69 /// The `!` type, also called "never".
71 /// `!` represents the type of computations which never resolve to any value at all. For example,
72 /// the [`exit`] function `fn exit(code: i32) -> !` exits the process without ever returning, and
75 /// `break`, `continue` and `return` expressions also have type `!`. For example we are allowed to
79 /// #![feature(never_type)]
80 /// # fn foo() -> u32 {
87 /// Although the `let` is pointless here, it illustrates the meaning of `!`. Since `x` is never
88 /// assigned a value (because `return` returns from the entire function), `x` can be given type
89 /// `!`. We could also replace `return 123` with a `panic!` or a never-ending `loop` and this code
90 /// would still be valid.
92 /// A more realistic usage of `!` is in this code:
95 /// # fn get_a_number() -> Option<u32> { None }
97 /// let num: u32 = match get_a_number() {
104 /// Both match arms must produce values of type [`u32`], but since `break` never produces a value
105 /// at all we know it can never produce a value which isn't a [`u32`]. This illustrates another

109 #[doc = concat!("[`exit`]: ", include_str!("../primitive_docs/process_exit.md"))]
111 /// # `!` and generics
113 /// ## Infallible errors
115 /// The main place you'll see `!` used explicitly is in generic code. Consider the [`FromStr`]
119 /// trait FromStr: Sized {
121 /// fn from_str(s: &str) -> Result<Self, Self::Err>;
125 /// When implementing this trait for [`String`] we need to pick a type for [`Err`]. And since
126 /// converting a string into a string will never result in an error, the appropriate type is `!`.
127 /// (Currently the type actually used is an enum with no variants, though this is only because `!`
128 /// was added to Rust at a later date and it may change in the future.) With an [`Err`] type of
129 /// `!`, if we have to call [`String::from_str`] for some reason the result will be a
130 /// [`Result<String, !>`] which we can unpack like this:
133 /// #![feature(exhaustive_patterns)]
134 /// use std::str::FromStr;
135 /// let Ok(s) = String::from_str("hello");
138 /// Since the [`Err`] variant contains a `!`, it can never occur. If the `exhaustive_patterns`
139 /// feature is present this means we can exhaustively match on [`Result<T, !>`] by just taking the
140 /// [`Ok`] variant. This illustrates another behaviour of `!` - it can be used to "delete" certain
141 /// enum variants from generic types like `Result`.
143 /// ## Infinite loops
145 /// While [`Result<T, !>`] is very useful for removing errors, `!` can also be used to remove
146 /// successes as well. If we think of [`Result<T, !>`] as "if this function returns, it has not
147 /// errored," we get a very intuitive idea of [`Result<!, E>`] as well: if the function returns, it
150 /// For example, consider the case of a simple web server, which can be simplified to:
152 /// ```ignore (hypothetical-example)
154 /// let (client, request) = get_request().expect("disconnected");
155 /// let response = request.process();
156 /// response.send(client);
160 /// Currently, this isn't ideal, because we simply panic whenever we fail to get a new connection.
161 /// Instead, we'd like to keep track of this error, like this:
163 /// ```ignore (hypothetical-example)
165 /// match get_request() {
166 /// Err(err) => break err,
167 /// Ok((client, request)) => {
168 /// let response = request.process();
169 /// response.send(client);
175 /// Now, when the server disconnects, we exit the loop with an error instead of panicking. While it
176 /// might be intuitive to simply return the error, we might want to wrap it in a [`Result<!, E>`]
179 /// ```ignore (hypothetical-example)
180 /// fn server_loop() -> Result<!, ConnectionError> {
182 /// let (client, request) = get_request()?;
183 /// let response = request.process();
184 /// response.send(client);
189 /// Now, we can use `?` instead of `match`, and the return type makes a lot more sense: if the loop
190 /// ever stops, it means that an error occurred. We don't even have to wrap the loop in an `Ok`
191 /// because `!` coerces to `Result<!, ConnectionError>` automatically.

199 /// When writing your own traits, `!` should have an `impl` whenever there is an obvious `impl`
200 /// which doesn't `panic!`. The reason is that functions returning an `impl Trait` where `!`
201 /// does not have an `impl` of `Trait` cannot diverge as their only possible code path. In other
202 /// words, they can't return `!` from every code path. As an example, this code doesn't compile:

207 /// fn foo() -> impl Add<u32> {
212 /// But this code does:
215 /// use std::ops::Add;
217 /// fn foo() -> impl Add<u32> {
226 /// The reason is that, in the first example, there are many possible types that `!` could coerce
227 /// to, because many types implement `Add<u32>`. However, in the second example,
228 /// the `else` branch returns a `0`, which the compiler infers from the return type to be of type
229 /// `u32`. Since `u32` is a concrete type, `!` can and will be coerced to it. See issue [#36375]
230 /// for more information on this quirk of `!`.
232 /// [#36375]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/36375

250 /// Once again we're using `!`'s ability to coerce into any other type, in this case
251 /// [`fmt::Result`]. Since this method takes a `&!` as an argument we know that it can never be

255 /// implementing traits for `!`. Generally, any trait which only has methods which take a `self`
256 /// parameter should have such an impl.
258 /// On the other hand, one trait which would not be appropriate to implement is [`Default`]:

1375 /// For more information and a list of supported ABIs, see [the nomicon's
1376 /// section on foreign calling conventions][nomicon-abi].
1378 /// [nomicon-abi]: ../nomicon/ffi.html#foreign-calling-conventions
1380 /// ### Variadic functions
1382 /// Extern function declarations with the "C" or "cdecl" ABIs can also be *variadic*, allowing them
1383 /// to be called with a variable number of arguments. Normal Rust functions, even those with an
1384 /// `extern "ABI"`, cannot be variadic. For more information, see [the nomicon's section on
1385 /// variadic functions][nomicon-variadic].
1387 /// [nomicon-variadic]: ../nomicon/ffi.html#variadic-functions
1389 /// ### Creating function pointers
1391 /// When `bar` is the name of a function, then the expression `bar` is *not* a
1392 /// function pointer. Rather, it denotes a value of an unnameable type that
1393 /// uniquely identifies the function `bar`. The value is zero-sized because the
1394 /// type already identifies the function. This has the advantage that "calling"
1395 /// the value (it implements the `Fn*` traits) does not require dynamic
1398 /// This zero-sized type *coerces* to a regular function pointer. For example:
1403 /// fn bar(x: i32) {}
1405 /// let not_bar_ptr = bar; // `not_bar_ptr` is zero-sized, uniquely identifying `bar`
1406 /// assert_eq!(mem::size_of_val(¬_bar_ptr), 0);
1408 /// let bar_ptr: fn(i32) = not_bar_ptr; // force coercion to function pointer
1409 /// assert_eq!(mem::size_of_val(&bar_ptr), mem::size_of::<usize>());
1411 /// let footgun = &bar; // this is a shared reference to the zero-sized type identifying `bar`
1414 /// The last line shows that `&bar` is not a function pointer either. Rather, it
1415 /// is a reference to the function-specific ZST. `&bar` is basically never what you
1416 /// want when `bar` is a function.
1418 /// ### Casting to and from integers
1420 /// You cast function pointers directly to integers:
1423 /// let fnptr: fn(i32) -> i32 = |x| x+2;
1424 /// let fnptr_addr = fnptr as usize;
1427 /// However, a direct cast back is not possible. You need to use `transmute`:
1430 /// # let fnptr: fn(i32) -> i32 = |x| x+2;
1431 /// # let fnptr_addr = fnptr as usize;
1432 /// let fnptr = fnptr_addr as *const ();
1433 /// let fnptr: fn(i32) -> i32 = unsafe { std::mem::transmute(fnptr) };
1434 /// assert_eq!(fnptr(40), 42);
1437 /// Crucially, we `as`-cast to a raw pointer before `transmute`ing to a function pointer.
1438 /// This avoids an integer-to-pointer `transmute`, which can be problematic.
1439 /// Transmuting between raw pointers and function pointers (i.e., two pointer types) is fine.
1441 /// Note that all of this is not portable to platforms where function pointers and data pointers
1442 /// have different sizes.
1444 /// ### Trait implementations
1446 /// In this documentation the shorthand `fn (T₁, T₂, …, Tₙ)` is used to represent non-variadic
1447 /// function pointers of varying length. Note that this is a convenience notation to avoid
1448 /// repetitive documentation, not valid Rust syntax.
1450 /// Due to a temporary restriction in Rust's type system, these traits are only implemented on
1451 /// functions that take 12 arguments or less, with the `"Rust"` and `"C"` ABIs. In the future, this
1456 /// * [`PartialOrd`]
1462 /// The following traits are implemented for function pointers with any number of arguments and
1463 /// any ABI. These traits have implementations that are automatically generated by the compiler,
1464 /// so are not limited by missing language features:
1471 /// * [`UnwindSafe`]
1472 /// * [`RefUnwindSafe`]
1474 /// [`Hash`]: hash::Hash
1475 /// [`Pointer`]: fmt::Pointer
1476 /// [`UnwindSafe`]: panic::UnwindSafe
1477 /// [`RefUnwindSafe`]: panic::RefUnwindSafe
1479 /// In addition, all *safe* function pointers implement [`Fn`], [`FnMut`], and [`FnOnce`], because
1480 /// these traits are specially known to the compiler.
