What are the possible operators for traits in a wh

问题:

I'm learning Rust and got to the chapter on trait bounds. In that chapter, they give an example with the + (plus) operator to enumerate all required traits in a where clause.

What other operators are allowed on traits in Rust? I searched but I wasn't able to find any documentation about this. Does Rust support 'or' notation, brackets, negation?

回答1:

'or' notation

No. Such a thing doesn't make sense to me — what would the code do if something could be A OR B?

brackets

No, unless you count the parenthesis in Fn(...) and friends, the use of angle brackets as generics (Vec<T>) or the use of square brackets in slices ([u8]), but these are parts of types.

Again, such a request doesn't make sense to me, why would you need any kind of grouping?

negation

No. I believe this is due to the fact that handling negative logic makes things a lot more complicated.

other operators

There's the ? (question mark) bound.
