trait TripleEqualsSupport extends AnyRef

Trait that defines abstract methods used to enforce compile-time type constraints for equality comparisons, and defines === and !== operators used by matchers.

The abstract methods of this trait are selectively implemented as implicit by subclasses to enable a spectrum of type constraints for the === and !== operators. As an illustration, if in the expression, a === b, the type of a is A and b is B, the following three levels of compile-time checking can be obtained from TripleEqualsSupport subtraits:

Unchecked - A and B can be any two types. This constraint level is available from subtrait TripleEquals.

Statically-checked - A must be a subtype of B, or vice versa, or must cooperate such that the equality laws stated in the equals contract are preserved. This (intermediate) constraint level is available by using subtrait TripleEquals and installing the SuperSafe Community Edition Scala compiler plugin.

Type-checked - A must be a subtype of B, or vice versa. (Both A and B can be the same type, because a type is considered a subtype of itself.) This (strongest) constraint level is available from subtrait TypeCheckedTripleEquals.

This trait defines all methods that need to be defined implicitly by the subtraits so that if multiple subtraits are used together, the inner-most subtrait in scope can not only enable the implicits it needs by overriding or hiding those methods (currently-in-scope as regular, non-implicit methods) and making them implicit, it can also disable any implicits enabled by its sibling subtraits in enclosing scopes. For example, if your test class mixes in TypeCheckedTripleEquals, inside your test class the following methods will be implicit:

If in the body of a test you want to turn off the type checking, you can import the members of TripleEquals in the body of that test. This will not only hide non-implicit methods convertToEqualizer unconstrainedEquality of TypeCheckedTripleEquals, replacing those with implicit ones defined in TripleEquals, it will also hide the three methods made implicit in TypeCheckedTripleEquals (and listed above), replacing them by non-implicit ones.

In short, you should be able to select a primary constraint level via either a mixin or import, then change that in nested scopes however you want, again either through a mixin or import, without getting any implicit conversion ambiguity. The innermost constraint level in scope will always be in force.

  1. class CheckingEqualizer[L] extends AnyRef

    Class used via an implicit conversion to enable two objects to be compared with === and !== with a Boolean result and an enforced type constraint between two object types.

    Class used via an implicit conversion to enable two objects to be compared with === and !== with a Boolean result and an enforced type constraint between two object types. For example:

    assert(a === b)
    assert(c !== d)
    

    You can also check numeric values against another with a tolerance. Here are some examples:

    assert(a === (2.0 +- 0.1))
    assert(c !== (2.0 +- 0.1))

    Provides a A CanEqual B for any two types A and B, enforcing the type constraint that A must be a subtype of B, given an explicit Equivalence[B].

    Provides a A CanEqual B for any two types A and B, enforcing the type constraint that A must be a subtype of B, given an explicit Equivalence[B].

    This method is used to enable the Explicitly DSL for TypeCheckedTripleEquals by requiring an explicit Equivalance[B], but taking an implicit function that provides evidence that A is a subtype of B.

    The returned Constraint's areEqual method uses the implicitly passed Equivalence[B]'s areEquivalent method to determine equality.

    This method is overridden and made implicit by subtraits LowPriorityTypeCheckedConstraint (extended by TypeCheckedTripleEquals), and overriden as non-implicit by the other subtraits in this package.

    equivalenceOfB

    an Equivalence[B] type class to which the Constraint.areEqual method will delegate to determine equality.
