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 utilizeToString
from themacros
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:
This code is problematic because
ToString
is private to the module level, similar to howHashMap
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:
This modification utilizes the
ToString
trait defined within themacros
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:
$crate::macros::ToString
instead of$crate::ToString
.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
mov
tomacros
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.Please let me know if there are any further modifications or additional information required for this pull request!
