Sorry for interfering. I've gathered statements and expressions which look
like candidates for interface-based generalization. Interface and method
names are just placeholders. Generic interfaces for collections like slice
or map are different beasts. Will post thoughts on them later.
I personally think that most used interface wrappers for predefined types
would be range support and generalized collections. Maybe custom key types
for maps and custom map hasher.
*Comparison operators*
"==", "!=", "<", ">", "<=", ">="
These can be split into two groups - equatable and ordered. Not all types
which may be compared equals can be ordered
type Equatable[T] interface {
Equals(T, T) bool
}
type Ordered[T] interface {
Compare(T, T) int // < 0 if less, > 0 if greater, 0 if equals
}
Equals can be easily implemented through Ordered via
func[T] (Ordered[T]* self) Equals(left, right T) bool {
return self.Compare(left right) == 0
}
Possible application for default interface methods but off-topic here
*Arithmetic operators*
*Unary operators "+", "-", "^"*
type UnaryOp[T] interface {
Op(T) T
}
where Op can be Plus, Minus, BitwiseComplement
*Binary operators "+", "-", "*", "/", "%", "&", "|", "^", "&^"*
type BinaryOp[T] interface {
Op(T, T) T
}
where Op is "Add", "Sub", "Mul", "Div", "Mod", "BitAnd", "BitOr", "BitXor",
"BitAndNot"
Bit-shift operators look almost the same except having different second
argument
type BinaryOp[T] interface {
Op(T, uint) T
}
where "Op" is "ShiftLeft" or "ShiftRight"
*Assign-op operators "+=", "-=", "*=", "/=", "%=", "&=", "|=", "^=", "&^="*
type BinaryOpAssign[T] interface {
OpAssign(T)
}
where Op is "Add", "Sub", "Mul", "Div", "Mod", "BitAnd", "BitOr", "BitXor",
"BitAndNot"
Default implementation through normal operation would look like
func[T] (BinaryOp[T]* self) OpAssign(right T) {
*self = self.Op(*self, right)
}
Except shift operators which would look like
type BinaryOpAssign[T] interface {
OpAssign(uint)
}
where "Op" is "ShiftLeft" or "ShiftRight"
*String concatenation*
Uses interfaces "BinaryAdd" and "BinaryAddAssign"
*Logical operators*
Applied only to booleans, so I see no good reason to add generic interfaces
for them
*Address operators*
Should not have their own interface since they don't assume any kind of
type-specific behavior
*Receive operator and send statement*
May be considered in future. ATM I don't see good application for
channel-like types except channels themselves
*Increment and decrement*
type Incrementable[T] interface {
Increment()
}
type Decrementable[T] interface {
Decrement()
}
*Assignment*
Not subject for generalization since it shouldn't be overridden
*For statements with range clause*
type Range[K, V] interface {
Next() K, V, bool
}
Slice's or string's key would be respective index
Channel looks more like exception here since it introduces asynchronous
iteration and produces single value.
