Provides a macro to simplify operator overloading. See the documentation for details and supported operators.

Example

extern crate overload;
use overload::overload;

#[derive(PartialEq, Debug)]
struct Val {
    v: i32
}

overload!((a: ?Val) + (b: ?Val) -> Val { Val { v: a.v + b.v } });

The macro call in the snippet above generates the following code:

impl std::ops::Add<Val> for Val {
    type Output = Val;
    fn add(self, b: Val) -> Self::Output {
        let a = self;
        Val { v: a.v + b.v }
    }
}
impl std::ops::Add<&Val> for Val {
    type Output = Val;
    fn add(self, b: &Val) -> Self::Output {
        let a = self;
        Val { v: a.v + b.v }
    }
}
impl std::ops::Add<Val> for &Val {
    type Output = Val;
    fn add(self, b: Val) -> Self::Output {
        let a = self;
        Val { v: a.v + b.v }
    }
}
impl std::ops::Add<&Val> for &Val {
    type Output = Val;
    fn add(self, b: &Val) -> Self::Output {
        let a = self;
        Val { v: a.v + b.v }
    }
}

We are now able to add Vals and &Vals in any combination:

assert_eq!(Val{v:3} + Val{v:5}, Val{v:8});
assert_eq!(Val{v:3} + &Val{v:5}, Val{v:8});
assert_eq!(&Val{v:3} + Val{v:5}, Val{v:8});
assert_eq!(&Val{v:3} + &Val{v:5}, Val{v:8});
