# What `#[derive(Not)]` generates The derived `Not` implementation simply negates all the fields of a struct and returns that as a new instance of the struct. For enums all fields of the active variant of the enum are negated and a new instance of the same variant with these negated fields is returned. ## Tuple structs When deriving for a tuple struct with two fields like this: ```rust # use derive_more::Not; # #[derive(Not)] struct MyInts(i32, i32); ``` Code like this will be generated: ```rust # struct MyInts(i32, i32); impl derive_more::Not for MyInts { type Output = MyInts; fn not(self) -> MyInts { MyInts(self.0.not(), self.1.not()) } } ``` The behaviour is similar with more or less fields. ## Regular structs When deriving for a regular struct with two fields like this: ```rust # use derive_more::Not; # #[derive(Not)] struct Point2D { x: i32, y: i32, } ``` Code like this will be generated: ```rust # struct Point2D { # x: i32, # y: i32, # } impl derive_more::Not for Point2D { type Output = Point2D; fn not(self) -> Point2D { Point2D { x: self.x.not(), y: self.y.not(), } } } ``` The behaviour is similar with more or less fields. ## Enums For each enum variant `Not` is derived in a similar way as it would be derived if it would be its own type. For instance when deriving `Not` for an enum like this: ```rust # use derive_more::Not; # #[derive(Not)] enum MixedInts { SmallInt(i32), BigInt(i64), TwoSmallInts(i32, i32), NamedSmallInts { x: i32, y: i32 }, UnsignedOne(u32), UnsignedTwo(u32), } ``` Code like this will be generated: ```rust # enum MixedInts { # SmallInt(i32), # BigInt(i64), # TwoSmallInts(i32, i32), # NamedSmallInts { x: i32, y: i32 }, # UnsignedOne(u32), # UnsignedTwo(u32), # } impl derive_more::Not for MixedInts { type Output = MixedInts; fn not(self) -> MixedInts { match self { MixedInts::SmallInt(__0) => MixedInts::SmallInt(__0.not()), MixedInts::BigInt(__0) => MixedInts::BigInt(__0.not()), MixedInts::TwoSmallInts(__0, __1) => MixedInts::TwoSmallInts(__0.not(), __1.not()), MixedInts::NamedSmallInts { x: __0, y: __1 } => { MixedInts::NamedSmallInts { x: __0.not(), y: __1.not(), } } MixedInts::UnsignedOne(__0) => MixedInts::UnsignedOne(__0.not()), MixedInts::UnsignedTwo(__0) => MixedInts::UnsignedTwo(__0.not()), } } } ``` There is one important thing to remember though. If you add a unit variant to the enum its return type will change from `EnumType` to `Result`. This is because Unit cannot have `Not` implemented. So, when deriving `Not` for an enum like this: ```rust # use derive_more::Not; # #[derive(Not)] enum EnumWithUnit { SmallInt(i32), Unit, } ``` Code like this will be generated: ```rust # enum EnumWithUnit { # SmallInt(i32), # Unit, # } impl derive_more::Not for EnumWithUnit { type Output = Result; fn not(self) -> Result { match self { EnumWithUnit::SmallInt(__0) => Ok(EnumWithUnit::SmallInt(__0.not())), EnumWithUnit::Unit => Err(derive_more::UnitError::new("not")), } } } ```
