Struct proc_macro::TokenStream

1.15.0 · source ·
pub struct TokenStream(/* private fields */);
Expand description

The main type provided by this crate, representing an abstract stream of tokens, or, more specifically, a sequence of token trees. The type provide interfaces for iterating over those token trees and, conversely, collecting a number of token trees into one stream.

This is both the input and output of #[proc_macro], #[proc_macro_attribute] and #[proc_macro_derive] definitions.

Implementations§

source§

impl TokenStream

1.29.0 · source

pub fn new() -> TokenStream

Returns an empty TokenStream containing no token trees.

1.29.0 · source

pub fn is_empty(&self) -> bool

Checks if this TokenStream is empty.

source

pub fn expand_expr(&self) -> Result<TokenStream, ExpandError>

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (proc_macro_expand #90765)

Parses this TokenStream as an expression and attempts to expand any macros within it. Returns the expanded TokenStream.

Currently only expressions expanding to literals will succeed, although this may be relaxed in the future.

NOTE: In error conditions, expand_expr may leave macros unexpanded, report an error, failing compilation, and/or return an Err(..). The specific behavior for any error condition, and what conditions are considered errors, is unspecified and may change in the future.

source§

impl Display for TokenStream

Prints the token stream as a string that is supposed to be losslessly convertible back into the same token stream (modulo spans), except for possibly TokenTree::Groups with Delimiter::None delimiters and negative numeric literals.

Note: the exact form of the output is subject to change, e.g. there might be changes in the whitespace used between tokens. Therefore, you should not do any kind of simple substring matching on the output string (as produced by to_string) to implement a proc macro, because that matching might stop working if such changes happen. Instead, you should work at the TokenTree level, e.g. matching against TokenTree::Ident, TokenTree::Punct, or TokenTree::Literal.

Collects a number of token trees into a single stream.

source§

impl FromStr for TokenStream

Attempts to break the string into tokens and parse those tokens into a token stream. May fail for a number of reasons, for example, if the string contains unbalanced delimiters or characters not existing in the language. All tokens in the parsed stream get Span::call_site() spans.

NOTE: some errors may cause panics instead of returning LexError. We reserve the right to change these errors into LexErrors later.

§

type Err = LexError

The associated error which can be returned from parsing.

fn from_str(src: &str) -> Result<TokenStream, LexError>

Parses a string s to return a value of this type. Read more
