Enum NeighborRole 

pub enum NeighborRole {
    Load,
    Ref,
    Signal,
}

Device-agnostic classification of what a neighbouring passive (or active) element does for an active device’s terminal.

This is the durable, role-based replacement for the role-blind topology heuristic that currently sets stage boundaries. A later “arbitration” phase will consume these roles to decide where stages split; this declaration + inference + completeness pass changes no audio behaviour — its only runtime-visible effect is a compile-time completeness diagnostic.

Variants

Load

Develops the device’s output. Terminates at a supply rail (plate / collector / drain load; a cathode-follower’s cathode load) — and may equally be a transformer winding or another active device acting as the load. Conceptually absorbed into the device’s stage.

Ref

DC operating-point / AC-grounded support: grid leak, base divider, cathode / emitter bias R, cathode / screen bypass C, screen dropper. Absorbed.

Signal

Series through-path to the NEXT active stage: coupling cap, grid stopper. This is the future stage boundary (and ordering edge).

Implementations

impl NeighborRole

pub fn label(self) -> &'static str

Human-readable label for diagnostics.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for NeighborRole

fn clone(&self) -> NeighborRole

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Copy for NeighborRole

impl Debug for NeighborRole

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Eq for NeighborRole

impl Hash for NeighborRole

fn hash<__H: Hasher>(&self, state: &mut __H)

Feeds this value into the given Hasher.

fn hash_slice<H>(data: &[Self], state: &mut H)

where H: Hasher, Self: Sized,

Feeds a slice of this type into the given Hasher.

impl PartialEq for NeighborRole

fn eq(&self, other: &NeighborRole) -> bool

Tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.
