//! Traits for conversions between types.
//!
//! The traits in this module provide a way to convert from one type to another type.
//! Each trait serves a different purpose:
//!
//! - Implement the [`AsRef`] trait for cheap reference-to-reference conversions
//! - Implement the [`AsMut`] trait for cheap mutable-to-mutable conversions
//! - Implement the [`From`] trait for consuming value-to-value conversions
//! - Implement the [`Into`] trait for consuming value-to-value conversions to types
//!   outside the current crate
//! - The [`TryFrom`] and [`TryInto`] traits behave like [`From`] and [`Into`],
//!   but should be implemented when the conversion can fail.
//!
//! The traits in this module are often used as trait bounds for generic functions such that to
//! arguments of multiple types are supported. See the documentation of each trait for examples.
//!
//! As a library author, you should always prefer implementing [`From<T>`][`From`] or
//! [`TryFrom<T>`][`TryFrom`] rather than [`Into<U>`][`Into`] or [`TryInto<U>`][`TryInto`],
//! as [`From`] and [`TryFrom`] provide greater flexibility and offer
//! equivalent [`Into`] or [`TryInto`] implementations for free, thanks to a
//! blanket implementation in the standard library. When targeting a version prior to Rust 1.41, it
//! may be necessary to implement [`Into`] or [`TryInto`] directly when converting to a type
//! outside the current crate.
//!
//! # Generic Implementations
//!
//! - [`AsRef`] and [`AsMut`] auto-dereference if the inner type is a reference
//!   (but not generally for all [dereferenceable types][core::ops::Deref])
//! - [`From`]`<U> for T` implies [`Into`]`<T> for U`
//! - [`TryFrom`]`<U> for T` implies [`TryInto`]`<T> for U`
//! - [`From`] and [`Into`] are reflexive, which means that all types can
//!   `into` themselves and `from` themselves
//!
//! See each trait for usage examples.

/// Two things are important to note about this function:

/// # Relation to `Borrow`
///
/// `AsRef` has the same signature as [`Borrow`], but [`Borrow`] is different in a few aspects:
///
/// - Unlike `AsRef`, [`Borrow`] has a blanket impl for any `T`, and can be used to accept either
///   a reference or a value. (See also note on `AsRef`'s reflexibility below.)
/// - [`Borrow`] also requires that [`Hash`], [`Eq`] and [`Ord`] for a borrowed value are
///   equivalent to those of the owned value. For this reason, if you want to
///   borrow only a single field of a struct you can implement `AsRef`, but not [`Borrow`].
///
/// **Note: This trait must not fail**. If the conversion can fail, use a
/// dedicated method which returns an [`Option<T>`] or a [`Result<T, E>`].
///
/// # Generic Implementations
///
/// `AsRef` auto-dereferences if the inner type is a reference or a mutable reference
/// (e.g.: `foo.as_ref()` will work the same if `foo` has type `&mut Foo` or `&&mut Foo`).
///
/// Note that due to historic reasons, the above currently does not hold generally for all
/// [dereferenceable types], e.g. `foo.as_ref()` will *not* work the same as
/// `Box::new(foo).as_ref()`. Instead, many smart pointers provide an `as_ref` implementation which
/// simply returns a reference to the [pointed-to value] (but do not perform a cheap
/// reference-to-reference conversion for that value). However, [`AsRef::as_ref`] should not be
/// used for the sole purpose of dereferencing; instead ['`Deref` coercion'] can be used:
///

/// `From` simplifies error handling by allowing a function to return a single error type
/// that encapsulates multiple error types. See the "Examples" section and [the book][book] for more
/// details.
///
/// **Note: This trait must not fail**. The `From` trait is intended for perfect conversions.

///
/// # Generic Implementations
///
/// - `From<T> for U` implies [`Into`]`<U> for T`
/// - `From` is reflexive, which means that `From<T> for T` is implemented
///
/// # When to implement `From`
///
/// While there's no technical restrictions on which conversions can be done using
/// a `From` implementation, the general expectation is that the conversions
/// should typically be restricted as follows:
///
/// * The conversion is *infallible*: if the conversion can fail, use [`TryFrom`]
///   instead; don't provide a `From` impl that panics.
///
/// * The conversion is *lossless*: semantically, it should not lose or discard
///   information. For example, `i32: From<u16>` exists, where the original
///   value can be recovered using `u16: TryFrom<i32>`.  And `String: From<&str>`
///   exists, where you can get something equivalent to the original value via
///   `Deref`.  But `From` cannot be used to convert from `u32` to `u16`, since
///   that cannot succeed in a lossless way.  (There's some wiggle room here for
///   information not considered semantically relevant.  For example,
///   `Box<[T]>: From<Vec<T>>` exists even though it might not preserve capacity,
///   like how two vectors can be equal despite differing capacities.)
///
/// * The conversion is *value-preserving*: the conceptual kind and meaning of
///   the resulting value is the same, even though the Rust type and technical
///   representation might be different.  For example `-1_i8 as u8` is *lossless*,
///   since `as` casting back can recover the original value, but that conversion
///   is *not* available via `From` because `-1` and `255` are different conceptual
///   values (despite being identical bit patterns technically).  But
///   `f32: From<i16>` *is* available because `1_i16` and `1.0_f32` are conceptually
///   the same real number (despite having very different bit patterns technically).
///   `String: From<char>` is available because they're both *text*, but
///   `String: From<u32>` is *not* available, since `1` (a number) and `"1"`
///   (text) are too different.  (Converting values to text is instead covered
///   by the [`Display`](crate::fmt::Display) trait.)
///
/// * The conversion is *obvious*: it's the only reasonable conversion between
///   the two types.  Otherwise it's better to have it be a named method or
///   constructor, like how [`str::as_bytes`] is a method and how integers have
///   methods like [`u32::from_ne_bytes`], [`u32::from_le_bytes`], and
///   [`u32::from_be_bytes`], none of which are `From` implementations.  Whereas
///   there's only one reasonable way to wrap an [`Ipv6Addr`](crate::net::Ipv6Addr)
///   into an [`IpAddr`](crate::net::IpAddr), thus `IpAddr: From<Ipv6Addr>` exists.
///
/// # Examples
///
/// [`String`] implements `From<&str>`:
///
/// An explicit conversion from a `&str` to a String is done as follows:
///
/// ```
/// let string = "hello".to_string();
/// let other_string = String::from("hello");
///
/// assert_eq!(string, other_string);
/// ```
///
/// While performing error handling it is often useful to implement `From` for your own error type.
/// By converting underlying error types to our own custom error type that encapsulates the
/// underlying error type, we can return a single error type without losing information on the
/// underlying cause. The '?' operator automatically converts the underlying error type to our

/// using the [`From`] trait, because an [`i64`] may contain a value
/// that an [`i32`] cannot represent and so the conversion would lose data.
/// This might be handled by truncating the [`i64`] to an [`i32`] or by
/// simply returning [`i32::MAX`], or by some other method.  The [`From`]
/// trait is intended for perfect conversions, so the `TryFrom` trait
/// informs the programmer when a type conversion could go bad and lets
/// them decide how to handle it.
///
/// # Generic Implementations
///
/// - `TryFrom<T> for U` implies [`TryInto`]`<U> for T`
/// - [`try_from`] is reflexive, which means that `TryFrom<T> for T`
/// is implemented and cannot fail -- the associated `Error` type for
/// calling `T::try_from()` on a value of type `T` is [`Infallible`].
/// When the [`!`] type is stabilized [`Infallible`] and [`!`] will be
/// equivalent.
///
/// `TryFrom<T>` can be implemented as follows:
///
/// ```
/// struct GreaterThanZero(i32);
///
/// impl TryFrom<i32> for GreaterThanZero {
///     type Error = &'static str;
///
///     fn try_from(value: i32) -> Result<Self, Self::Error> {
///         if value <= 0 {
///             Err("GreaterThanZero only accepts values greater than zero!")
///         } else {
///             Ok(GreaterThanZero(value))
///         }
///     }
/// }
/// ```
///
/// # Examples
///
/// As described, [`i32`] implements `TryFrom<`[`i64`]`>`:
///
/// ```
/// let big_number = 1_000_000_000_000i64;
/// // Silently truncates `big_number`, requires detecting
/// // and handling the truncation after the fact.
/// let smaller_number = big_number as i32;
/// assert_eq!(smaller_number, -727379968);
///
/// // Returns an error because `big_number` is too big to
/// // fit in an `i32`.
/// let try_smaller_number = i32::try_from(big_number);
/// assert!(try_smaller_number.is_err());
///
/// // Returns `Ok(3)`.
/// let try_successful_smaller_number = i32::try_from(3);
/// assert!(try_successful_smaller_number.is_ok());
/// ```

// THE NO-ERROR ERROR TYPE
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

/// The error type for errors that can never happen.
///
/// Since this enum has no variant, a value of this type can never actually exist.
/// This can be useful for generic APIs that use [`Result`] and parameterize the error type,
/// to indicate that the result is always [`Ok`].
///
/// For example, the [`TryFrom`] trait (conversion that returns a [`Result`])
/// has a blanket implementation for all types where a reverse [`Into`] implementation exists.
///
/// ```ignore (illustrates std code, duplicating the impl in a doctest would be an error)
/// impl<T, U> TryFrom<U> for T where U: Into<T> {
///     type Error = Infallible;
///
///     fn try_from(value: U) -> Result<Self, Infallible> {
///         Ok(U::into(value))  // Never returns `Err`
///     }
/// }
/// ```
///
/// # Future compatibility
///
/// This enum has the same role as [the `!` “never” type][never],
/// which is unstable in this version of Rust.
/// When `!` is stabilized, we plan to make `Infallible` a type alias to it:
///
/// ```ignore (illustrates future std change)
/// pub type Infallible = !;
/// ```
///
/// … and eventually deprecate `Infallible`.
///
/// However there is one case where `!` syntax can be used
/// before `!` is stabilized as a full-fledged type: in the position of a function’s return type.
/// Specifically, it is possible to have implementations for two different function pointer types:
///
/// ```
/// trait MyTrait {}
/// impl MyTrait for fn() -> ! {}
/// impl MyTrait for fn() -> std::convert::Infallible {}
/// ```
///
/// With `Infallible` being an enum, this code is valid.
/// However when `Infallible` becomes an alias for the never type,
/// the two `impl`s will start to overlap
/// and therefore will be disallowed by the language’s trait coherence rules.
