Struct proc_macro2::Span

source · [−]

pub struct Span { /* private fields */ }

Expand description

A region of source code, along with macro expansion information.

Implementations

source

impl Span

source

pub fn call_site() -> Self

The span of the invocation of the current procedural macro.

Identifiers created with this span will be resolved as if they were written directly at the macro call location (call-site hygiene) and other code at the macro call site will be able to refer to them as well.

source

pub fn mixed_site() -> Self

The span located at the invocation of the procedural macro, but with local variables, labels, and $crate resolved at the definition site of the macro. This is the same hygiene behavior as macro_rules.

This function requires Rust 1.45 or later.

source

pub fn resolved_at(&self, other: Span) -> Span

Creates a new span with the same line/column information as self but that resolves symbols as though it were at other.

source

pub fn located_at(&self, other: Span) -> Span

Creates a new span with the same name resolution behavior as self but with the line/column information of other.

source

pub fn unwrap(self) -> Span

Convert proc_macro2::Span to proc_macro::Span.

This method is available when building with a nightly compiler, or when building with rustc 1.29+ without semver exempt features.

Panics

Panics if called from outside of a procedural macro. Unlike proc_macro2::Span, the proc_macro::Span type can only exist within the context of a procedural macro invocation.

source

pub fn start(&self) -> LineColumn

Get the starting line/column in the source file for this span.

This method requires the "span-locations" feature to be enabled.

When executing in a procedural macro context, the returned line/column are only meaningful if compiled with a nightly toolchain. The stable toolchain does not have this information available. When executing outside of a procedural macro, such as main.rs or build.rs, the line/column are always meaningful regardless of toolchain.

source

pub fn end(&self) -> LineColumn

Get the ending line/column in the source file for this span.

This method requires the "span-locations" feature to be enabled.

When executing in a procedural macro context, the returned line/column are only meaningful if compiled with a nightly toolchain. The stable toolchain does not have this information available. When executing outside of a procedural macro, such as main.rs or build.rs, the line/column are always meaningful regardless of toolchain.

source

pub fn join(&self, other: Span) -> Option

Create a new span encompassing self and other.

Returns None if self and other are from different files.

Warning: the underlying proc_macro::Span::join method is nightly-only. When called from within a procedural macro not using a nightly compiler, this method will always return None.
