#![no_std]

/// # Ad-hoc Iterator
///
/// This is a very small crate providing a macro and a function that allow for
/// conveniently creating iterators on the fly.
///
/// The `Iterator` Trait is very useful. The problem ist just that we can't
/// simply construct an iterator in-place, but rather have to define a struct,
/// `impl` the `Iterator` trait for it, and then return a value of that struct.
///
/// With the [`iterate`](iterate) macro of this crate, you can however do
/// exactly that. See it's documentation for more information.
///
/// With the [`iterator_from`](iterator_from) function, you can directly create
/// an iterator from an `FnMut` closure (which is exactly the same as what the
/// `iterate` macro is doing).

/// Internal, not intended for direct use.
///
/// See [`iterate`](iterate).

/// Create an ad-hoc iterator.
///
/// # Usage
///
/// The macro is used just like defining a closure. The return type of it's body
/// has to be `Option<T>` for some type T. So at the minimum: `iterate!{ None }`
///
/// The expression `iterate! {...}` is of type `impl Iterator<T>`.
///
/// Any captured variables are moved (like with `move || {...}` closures).
///
/// You can use `return` statements in the body of `iterate!`.
///
/// # Example
///
/// ```
/// use ad_hoc_iterator::iterate;
///
/// fn count_to(n: usize) -> impl Iterator<Item = usize> {
///     let mut i = 0;
///     iterate! {
///         if i < n {
///             i += 1;
///             Some(i-1)
///         } else {
///             None
///         }
///     }
/// }
/// ```

macro_rules! iterate {

    };
}

/// Turn a closure into an iterator.
///
/// Each `next()` on the iterator will simply
/// call the closure once. The iterator ends when the closure returns `None`.
///
/// # Example
///
/// ```
/// use ad_hoc_iterator::iterator_from;
///
/// fn count_from_to(n: usize, m: usize) -> impl Iterator<Item = usize> {
///     let mut i = n;
///     iterator_from(move || {
///         if i < m {
///             i += 1;
///             Some(i - 1)
///         } else {
///             None
///         }
