More ideas for assertables that I just needed myself

[andunieee]

I don't know how feasible or hard these are, but here are some suggestions:

• assert_iter_contains!() which is like assert_contains!() but for iterators.
• assert_either!() that takes two conditions and asserts that at least one of them is true (well, what I actually needed was assert_contains_either!(), but maybe the more generic approach is better in this case).

Thank you, good ideas. I'll look into these, most likely this weekend.

[joelparkerhenderson]

Are you thinking of theses kind of results and/or can you say more about these?

Your idea:

assert_iter_contains!(a, b)

Is it like this?

a.iter().for_each(|a1| assert_contains!(a1, b))

Your idea:

assert_either!(a, b)

Is it like this?

assert_infix!(a || b)

[andunieee]

Yes, exactly. Sorry, I didn't realize assert_infix!() existed already.

[joelparkerhenderson]

Thanks. My intuition is you're on to a good idea. I'll try out some options when I have a chunk of time. To be realistic with you, it probably will be in Oct/Nov when the next major release is coming.

Don't worry about, I've already worked around it on my code, I just thought I would suggest it for the future as since I needed these I imagine many others may also need them in the future. If something else occurs to me I may come back here and suggest.

But also feel free to throw my suggestions away or ignore them, I don't want to create work for you.

consider making asserts const to be used in compile time type/constrains/limits checks
