A union expression does not have exactly one field.
|
||||
|
||||
Erroneous code example:
|
||||
|
||||
```compile_fail,E0784
|
||||
union Bird {
|
||||
pigeon: u8,
|
||||
turtledove: u16,
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
let bird = Bird {}; // error
|
||||
let bird = Bird { pigeon: 0, turtledove: 1 }; // error
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The key property of unions is that all fields of a union share common storage.
|
||||
As a result, writes to one field of a union can overwrite its other fields, and
|
||||
size of a union is determined by the size of its largest field.
|
||||
|
||||
You can find more information about the union types in the [Rust reference].
|
||||
|
||||
Working example:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
union Bird {
|
||||
pigeon: u8,
|
||||
turtledove: u16,
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
let bird = Bird { pigeon: 0 }; // OK
|
||||
```
