共享类型
Associated types are placeholder types which are supplied by the trait implementation.
#[derive(Debug)]
struct Meters(i32);
#[derive(Debug)]
struct MetersSquared(i32);
trait Multiply {
type Output;
fn multiply(&self, other: &Self) -> Self::Output;
}
impl Multiply for Meters {
type Output = MetersSquared;
fn multiply(&self, other: &Self) -> Self::Output {
MetersSquared(self.0 * other.0)
}
}
fn main() {
println!("{:?}", Meters(10).multiply(&Meters(20)));
}

Associated types are sometimes also called “output types”. The key observation is that the implementer, not the caller, chooses this type.
-
Many standard library traits have associated types, including arithmetic operators and
Iterator.
