Pull Request Description

Title: Fix Issue in Code on Page 520 Regarding the Use of ToString

Related Issue: #3 (I think I found an error from page 520)

Summary

This pull request addresses a potential error identified in the code on page 520 of the documentation. The original code snippet incorrectly references ToString from the root crate, which is private. Instead, it should utilize ToString from the macros module to avoid access issues. This correction enhances the code’s accessibility and functionality.

Details of the Issue

The code originally presented on page 520 is as follows:

$( fields.insert($crate::ToString::to_string($key), json!($value)); )*

This code is problematic because ToString is private to the module level, similar to how HashMap operates. Consequently, it prevents proper access from external modules, potentially leading to runtime errors or compilation failures.

The correct version that should be implemented is:

$( fields.insert($crate::macros::ToString::to_string($key), json!($value)); )*

This modification utilizes the ToString trait defined within the macros module, which is designed for public use, thereby ensuring proper functioning and compliance with Rust's privacy rules.

Suggested Resolution

This pull request will make the following changes:

  • Update the code snippet on page 520 to use $crate::macros::ToString instead of $crate::ToString.
  • Ensure that the documentation reflects this change to provide accurate examples for users.

Impact

This change is critical to ensure that users can rely on the examples provided in the documentation without running into private access issues. It contributes to better code practices by following Rust’s access control mechanisms. Additionally, it helps maintain consistency across the repository.

Testing

  • Run existing unit tests to ensure that no regressions are introduced.
  • If applicable, add a unit test validating the new behavior referencing mov to macros if such structures are tested in the repository.

Conclusion

This proposed change ensures clearer access to the ToString functionality and prevents potential confusion for users referencing the documentation. I appreciate your reviewing this pull request and look forward to your feedback.
