Add Ref/RefMut try_map method #118087

GrigorenkoPV · 2023-11-20T09:50:21Z

Tracking issue: #143801

A more generalized version of filter_map, which allows to return some data on failure.

Safety

As far as I can tell, E cannot contain any 'b data, so it is impossible to duplicate the &'b [mut] reference into the RefCell's data.

Other than this E, everything is analogous to the already stable filter_map.

`Try` / `Residual`

I have considered generalizing this to use the Try & Residual just like #79711 does for array::try_map, but it does not seem to be possible: we want to essentially .map_err(|e| (orig, e)) but this does not seem to be supported with Try. (Plus I am not even sure if it is possible to express the fact that &U in Try::Output would have to have the same lifetime as the &T input of F.)

ACP

~~As far as I can tell, this is not mandatory, and the implementation is small enough to probably be smaller than the doc I would have to write.~~

ACPs are the recommended way to get the libs-api team to approve new unstable APIs. I've marked this as waiting-on-team which I believe also is in their queue.

(libs-api -- we may want to update the guidance on the linked docs to just require an ACP)

m-ou-se · 2023-12-19T15:40:24Z

As far as I can tell, this is not mandatory, and the implementation is small enough to probably be smaller than the doc I would have to write.

The motivation is an important part of the ACP. We do need to understand the motivation, ideally with clear use cases, before accepting new (unstable) APIs.

Dylan-DPC · 2024-02-17T13:14:19Z

@GrigorenkoPV any updates on creating the ACP? if you have done so, kindly add it to the pr description. Thanks

GrigorenkoPV · 2024-02-21T15:34:44Z

The ACP: rust-lang/libs-team#341

@rustbot review

stegaBOB · 2024-11-23T00:11:01Z

Thanks for your work on this @GrigorenkoPV! We would love for this method to be added. @Mark-Simulacrum is there anything else needed here to get it across the finish line? I'd be happy to put some time into this if I can help in any way.

Dylan-DPC · 2024-11-23T12:47:56Z

@stegaBOB this is waiting on the ACP getting merged, so we need to wait fro that and nothing is expected from author or reviewer about it.

☔ The latest upstream changes (presumably #134052) made this pull request unmergeable. Please resolve the merge conflicts.

GrigorenkoPV · 2024-12-09T10:52:25Z

#133567 changed a place in rustc_interface where this method could be used and now it no longer fits, oh well.

GrigorenkoPV · 2025-07-11T15:29:45Z

rust-lang/libs-team#341 has gone completely unnoticed for a year and a half now, but a slightly more general version of the same API got proposed in rust-lang/libs-team#586 and accepted.

Let me adjust the PR accordingly.

Reminder, once the PR becomes ready for a review, use @rustbot ready.

GrigorenkoPV · 2025-08-11T20:15:54Z

@rustbot ready

I've went with the design that does not use Try for two reasons:

Try probably won't be stabilized any time soon
It seems to be impossible to return the original Ref{,Mut} on failure when using Try
