I'm using an enum for polymorphism, similar to the following:
enum MyType {
Variant1 { a: i32, b: i32 },
Variant2 { a: bool, b: bool },
}
Is there clean way to use existing structs for Variant1
and Variant2
? I've done the following:
struct Variant1 {
a: i32,
b: i32,
}
struct Variant2 {
a: bool,
b: bool,
}
enum MyType {
Variant1(Variant1),
Variant2(Variant2),
}
but it feels pretty clunky. I was wondering if there's a better way to accomplish a similar thing.
There was an RFC about making enum variants their own type: Types for enum variants. Unfortunately, it was postponed as this was not considered a priority. This means that right now, the way you have proposed is the only way to have types for enum variants.
No, that's exactly how that works.
