//! 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. Only implement [`Into`] or [`TryInto`]
//! when a conversion to a type outside the current crate is required.
//!
//! # Generic Implementations
//!
//! - [`AsRef`] and [`AsMut`] auto-dereference if the inner type is a reference
//! - [`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:
///
/// - It is not always equivalent to a closure like `|x| x` since the
///   closure may coerce `x` into a different type.
///
/// - It moves the input `x` passed to the function.
///
/// While it might seem strange to have a function that just returns back the
/// input, there are some interesting uses.
///
/// # Examples

/// Using `identity` to do nothing among other interesting functions:
///
/// ```rust
/// use std::convert::identity;
///
/// fn manipulation(x: u32) -> u32 {
///     // Let's assume that this function does something interesting.
///     x + 1

/// ```rust
/// use std::convert::identity;
///
/// # let condition = true;
///
/// # fn manipulation(x: u32) -> u32 { x + 1 }
///
/// let do_stuff = if condition { manipulation } else { identity };
///
/// // do more interesting stuff..
///
/// let _results = do_stuff(42);
/// ```
///

/// This trait is similar to [`AsMut`] which is used for converting between mutable references.
/// If you need to do a costly conversion it is better to implement [`From`] with type

///
/// `AsRef` has the same signature as [`Borrow`], but `Borrow` is different in few aspects:
///
/// - Unlike `AsRef`, `Borrow` has a blanket impl for any `T`, and can be used to accept either
///   a reference or a value.
/// - `Borrow` also requires that `Hash`, `Eq` and `Ord` for 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`.
///
/// [`Borrow`]: ../../std/borrow/trait.Borrow.html
///
/// **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>`].
///
/// [`Option<T>`]: ../../std/option/enum.Option.html
/// [`Result<T, E>`]: ../../std/result/enum.Result.html
///
/// # 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

///
/// # Examples
///
/// By using trait bounds we can accept arguments of different types as long as they can be
/// converted a the specified type `T`.
///
/// For example: By creating a generic function that takes an `AsRef<str>` we express that we
/// want to accept all references that can be converted to `&str` as an argument.
/// Since both [`String`] and `&str` implement `AsRef<str>` we can accept both as input argument.

/// While performing error handling it is often useful to implement `From` for your own error type.

/// This is useful when you are doing a type conversion that may

/// For example, there is no way to convert an `i64` into an `i32`
/// 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` (essentially
/// giving the `i64`'s value modulo `i32::MAX`) 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 stablized `Infallible` and `!` will be
/// equivalent.
///
/// `TryFrom<T>` can be implemented as follows:
///
/// ```
/// use std::convert::TryFrom;
///
/// struct SuperiorThanZero(i32);
///
/// impl TryFrom<i32> for SuperiorThanZero {
///     type Error = &'static str;
///
///     fn try_from(value: i32) -> Result<Self, Self::Error> {
///         if value < 0 {
///             Err("SuperiorThanZero only accepts value superior than zero!")
///         } else {
///             Ok(SuperiorThanZero(value))
///         }
///     }
/// }
/// ```
///
/// # Examples
///
/// As described, [`i32`] implements `TryFrom<i64>`:
///
/// ```
/// use std::convert::TryFrom;
///
/// 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)`.

// 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-fleged type: in the position of a function’s return type.
/// Specifically, it is possible 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.
