Sorry for the incomplete mail.
What I wanted is,
get_value(MyStr("Rust".to_str())) returns String,
get_value(MyBool(true)) returns bool and,
get_value(MyInt(100)) returns int
I was trying to store generic value in hashmap, as in the example below,
use std::collections::hashmap::HashMap;
#[deriving(Show)]
enum MyTypes{
MyBool(bool),
MyStr(String),
MyInt(int)
}
fn main(){
let mut settings:HashMap<String, MyTypes> = HashMap::new();
settings.insert("port".to_str(), MyInt(8000));
settings.insert("name".to_str(), MyStr("Rust".to_str()));
settings.insert("enabled".to_str(), MyBool(true));
println!("{}", settings);
}
So to get the value out of hashmap, I need a generic function which checks
the respective type and returns value. Some thing like
fn get_value(settings:HashMap<String, MyTypes>, key: &'static str) -> T{
match settings.get(&key) {
MyBool(x) => x,
MyStr(x) => x,
MyInt(x) => x
}
}
But I don't know how to make this work.
Thanks.
