Enum ControlFlow 

pub enum ControlFlow<B, C = ()> {
    Continue(C),
    Break(B),
}

Available on crate features crypto and std only.

Used to tell an operation whether it should exit early or go on as usual.

This is used when exposing things (like graph traversals or visitors) where you want the user to be able to choose whether to exit early. Having the enum makes it clearer – no more wondering “wait, what did false mean again?” – and allows including a value.

Similar to Option and Result, this enum can be used with the ? operator to return immediately if the Break variant is present or otherwise continue normally with the value inside the Continue variant.

Examples

Early-exiting from Iterator::try_for_each:

use std::ops::ControlFlow;

let r = (2..100).try_for_each(|x| {
    if 403 % x == 0 {
        return ControlFlow::Break(x)
    }

    ControlFlow::Continue(())
});
assert_eq!(r, ControlFlow::Break(13));

A basic tree traversal:

use std::ops::ControlFlow;

pub struct TreeNode<T> {
    value: T,
    left: Option<Box<TreeNode<T>>>,
    right: Option<Box<TreeNode<T>>>,
}

impl<T> TreeNode<T> {
    pub fn traverse_inorder<B>(&self, f: &mut impl FnMut(&T) -> ControlFlow<B>) -> ControlFlow<B> {
        if let Some(left) = &self.left {
            left.traverse_inorder(f)?;
        }
        f(&self.value)?;
        if let Some(right) = &self.right {
            right.traverse_inorder(f)?;
        }
        ControlFlow::Continue(())
    }
    fn leaf(value: T) -> Option<Box<TreeNode<T>>> {
        Some(Box::new(Self { value, left: None, right: None }))
    }
}

let node = TreeNode {
    value: 0,
    left: TreeNode::leaf(1),
    right: Some(Box::new(TreeNode {
        value: -1,
        left: TreeNode::leaf(5),
        right: TreeNode::leaf(2),
    }))
};
let mut sum = 0;

let res = node.traverse_inorder(&mut |val| {
    if *val < 0 {
        ControlFlow::Break(*val)
    } else {
        sum += *val;
        ControlFlow::Continue(())
    }
});
assert_eq!(res, ControlFlow::Break(-1));
assert_eq!(sum, 6);

Variants

Continue(C)

Move on to the next phase of the operation as normal.

Break(B)

Exit the operation without running subsequent phases.
