问题

I have written some tests where I need to assert that two arrays are equal. Some arrays are [u8; 48] while others are [u8; 188]:

#[test]
fn mul() {
    let mut t1: [u8; 48] = [0; 48];
    let t2: [u8; 48] = [0; 48];

    // some computation goes here.

    assert_eq!(t1, t2, "\nExpected\n{:?}\nfound\n{:?}", t2, t1);
}

I get multiple errors here:

error[E0369]: binary operation `==` cannot be applied to type `[u8; 48]`

Trying to print them as slices like t2[..] or t1[..] doesn't seem to work.

How do I use assert with these arrays and print them?

回答1:

For the comparison part you can just convert the arrays to iterators and compare elementwise.

assert_eq!(t1.len(), t2.len(), "Arrays don't have the same length");
assert!(t1.iter().zip(t2.iter()).all(|(a,b)| a == b), "Arrays are not equal");

回答2:

Using slices

As a workaround, you can just use &t1[..] (instead of t1[..]) to make arrays into slices. You'll have to do this for both comparison and formatting.

assert_eq!(&t1[..], &t2[..], "\nExpected\n{:?}\nfound\n{:?}", &t2[..], &t1[..]);

assert_eq!(t1[..], t2[..], "\nExpected\n{:?}\nfound\n{:?}", &t2[..], &t1[..]);

Formatting arrays directly

Ideally, the original code should compile, but it doesn't for now. The reason is that the standard library implements common traits (such as Eq and Debug) for arrays of only up to 32 elements, due to lack of const generics.

Therefore, you can compare and format shorter arrays like:

let t1: [u8; 32] = [0; 32];
let t2: [u8; 32] = [1; 32];
assert_eq!(t1, t2, "\nExpected\n{:?}\nfound\n{:?}", t2, t1);

回答3:

With Iterator::eq, it is possible to compare anything that can be turned into an iterator for equality:

let mut t1: [u8; 48] = [0; 48];
let t2: [u8; 48] = [0; 48];
assert!(t1.iter().eq(t2.iter()));

回答4:

You could make Vecs out of them.

fn main() {
    let a: [u8; 3] = [0, 1, 2];
    let b: [u8; 3] = [2, 3, 4];
    let c: [u8; 3] = [0, 1, 2];

    let va: Vec<u8> = a.to_vec();
    let vb: Vec<u8> = b.to_vec();
    let vc: Vec<u8> = c.to_vec();

    println!("va==vb {}", va == vb);
    println!("va==vc {}", va == vc);
    println!("vb==vc {}", vb == vc);
}
