Function rocket::mtls::x509::der_parser::asn1_rs::nom::branch::permutation

pub fn permutation<I, O, E, List>(l: List) -> impl FnMut(I)
where
    I: Clone,
    E: ParseError<I>,
    List: Permutation<I, O, E>,

Available on crate feature mtls only.

Applies a list of parsers in any order.

Permutation will succeed if all of the child parsers succeeded. It takes as argument a tuple of parsers, and returns a tuple of the parser results.

use nom::character::complete::{alpha1, digit1};
use nom::branch::permutation;
fn parser(input: &str) -> IResult<&str, (&str, &str)> {
  permutation((alpha1, digit1))(input)
}

// permutation recognizes alphabetic characters then digit
assert_eq!(parser("abc123"), Ok(("", ("abc", "123"))));

// but also in inverse order
assert_eq!(parser("123abc"), Ok(("", ("abc", "123"))));

// it will fail if one of the parsers failed
assert_eq!(parser("abc;"), Err(Err::Error(Error::new(";", ErrorKind::Digit))));

The parsers are applied greedily: if there are multiple unapplied parsers that could parse the next slice of input, the first one is used.

use nom::branch::permutation;
use nom::character::complete::{anychar, char};

fn parser(input: &str) -> IResult<&str, (char, char)> {
  permutation((anychar, char('a')))(input)
}

// anychar parses 'b', then char('a') parses 'a'
assert_eq!(parser("ba"), Ok(("", ('b', 'a'))));

// anychar parses 'a', then char('a') fails on 'b',
// even though char('a') followed by anychar would succeed
assert_eq!(parser("ab"), Err(Err::Error(Error::new("b", ErrorKind::Char))));
