// This file contains the public interface of this package, which is intended
// to be a small, convenient interface designed for easy integration into
// a hypothetical language type checker and interpreter.
// Conversion is a named function type representing a conversion from a
// value of one type to a value of another type.
//
// The source type for a conversion is always the source type given to
// the function that returned the Conversion, but there is no way to recover
// that from a Conversion value itself. If a Conversion is given a value
// that is not of its expected type (with the exception of DynamicPseudoType,
// which is always supported) then the function may panic or produce undefined
// results.
type Conversion func(in cty.Value) (out cty.Value, err error)
// GetConversion returns a Conversion between the given in and out Types if
// a safe one is available, or returns nil otherwise.
func GetConversion(in cty.Type, out cty.Type) Conversion {
return retConversion(getConversion(in, out, false))
}
// GetConversionUnsafe returns a Conversion between the given in and out Types
// if either a safe or unsafe one is available, or returns nil otherwise.
func GetConversionUnsafe(in cty.Type, out cty.Type) Conversion {
return retConversion(getConversion(in, out, true))
}
// Convert returns the result of converting the given value to the given type
// if an safe or unsafe conversion is available, or returns an error if such a
// conversion is impossible.
//
// This is a convenience wrapper around calling GetConversionUnsafe and then
// immediately passing the given value to the resulting function.

// Unify attempts to find the most general type that can be converted from
// all of the given types. If this is possible, that type is returned along
// with a slice of necessary conversions for some of the given types.
//
// If no common supertype can be found, this function returns cty.NilType and
// a nil slice.
//
// If a common supertype *can* be found, the returned slice will always be
// non-nil and will contain a non-nil conversion for each given type that
// needs to be converted, with indices corresponding to the input slice.
// Any given type that does *not* need conversion (because it is already of
// the appropriate type) will have a nil Conversion.
//
// cty.DynamicPseudoType is, as usual, a special case. If the given type list
// contains a mixture of dynamic and non-dynamic types, the dynamic types are
// disregarded for type selection and a conversion is returned for them that
// will attempt a late conversion of the given value to the target type,
// failing with a conversion error if the eventual concrete type is not
// compatible. If *all* given types are DynamicPseudoType, or in the
// degenerate case of an empty slice of types, the returned type is itself
// cty.DynamicPseudoType and no conversions are attempted.
