big-code-analysis-ast 2.4.0

Parse and classification layer behind big-code-analysis (internal, version-locked)
Documentation
//! Error type returned from the library's top-level entry points.
//!
//! `big_code_analysis::FromPathError`, the richer error of the
//! file-backed `Ast::from_path`, lives in the root crate's
//! `from_path_error` module; this one is the parse-layer error every
//! dispatch entry point returns.
//!
//! Prior to this module, every entry point returned `Option<…>` and
//! collapsed parse failure, empty input, and disabled-language builds
//! into a single `None`. [`MetricsError`] distinguishes those cases so
//! library consumers can react appropriately (e.g. report a disabled
//! language distinctly from an empty parse).
//!
//! New variants may be added in future minor versions, so consumers
//! must include a `_` arm when matching exhaustively — this is enforced
//! by the [`#[non_exhaustive]`][non_exhaustive] attribute on the enum.
//!
//! [non_exhaustive]: https://doc.rust-lang.org/reference/attributes/type_system.html#the-non_exhaustive-attribute

/// Error returned by the library's metric-computation entry points.
///
/// # Stability
///
/// The variant set is additive: new variants may be introduced in
/// minor versions, so the enum is marked `#[non_exhaustive]`. Existing
/// variants will not be removed without a major version bump. The
/// [`std::error::Error`] and [`std::fmt::Display`] impls are part of
/// the stable surface; the exact wording of the `Display` output is
/// not.
///
/// # Examples
///
/// The [`MetricsError::EmptyRoot`] variant is reserved for a future
/// walker change (see its documentation). The
/// [`MetricsError::LanguageDisabled`] variant is the one actually
/// produced today: every dispatch entry point emits it when the
/// caller selects a
/// [`LANG`] whose per-language Cargo feature is not enabled in the
/// current build (see #252). The example demonstrates the
/// exhaustive-with-`_` match shape that callers should adopt to stay
/// forward-compatible with future variants.
///
/// [`AnyParser::parse`](crate::langs::AnyParser::parse) stands in for
/// `big_code_analysis::analyze` here — it is the same dispatch, one
/// layer down, and it is reachable from this crate alone. The match
/// arms are the ones an `analyze` caller writes.
///
/// ```
/// use big_code_analysis_ast::{AnyParser, MetricsError, LANG};
///
/// let result = AnyParser::parse(LANG::Cpp, b"int a = 42;".to_vec(), None, None);
///
/// match result {
///     Ok(_parser) => {
///         // The `cpp` feature is enabled in this build.
///     }
///     Err(MetricsError::EmptyRoot) => {
///         // Reserved: walker produced no top-level FuncSpace.
///     }
///     Err(MetricsError::LanguageDisabled(_lang)) => {
///         // The `LANG` variant the caller asked for has no grammar
///         // crate compiled in for this build (per-language feature
///         // disabled — see the `[features]` table in Cargo.toml).
///     }
///     // `MetricsError` is `#[non_exhaustive]`; new variants may be added.
///     Err(_) => {}
/// }
