debuggable 0.1.3

//! Make your Rust types readable in GDB and LLDB with one derive.
//!
//! ```
//! use debuggable::Debuggable;
//!
//! #[derive(Debuggable)]
//! #[debuggable(summary = "{len}/{cap}")]
//! pub struct Buffer {
//!     #[debuggable(items, len = "len")]
//!     data: Vec<u32>,
//!     len: usize,
//!     cap: usize,
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! In a debugger, a `Buffer` then reads `3/8 = {len = 3, cap = 8, [0] = 1, [1] = 2, [2] = 3}`
//! instead of its raw representation.
//!
//! To see it, set up your debugger once with
//! [`cargo-debuggable`](https://crates.io/crates/cargo-debuggable):
//! `cargo install cargo-debuggable && cargo debuggable setup`. Nothing runs inside your
//! program: the derive only embeds a description of the type for the debugger to read.
//!
//! # Attributes
//!
//! All attributes are optional. A bare `#[derive(Debuggable)]` hides `PhantomData` fields
//! and, for enums, shows just the variant name when the variant has no fields.
//!
//! ## `summary = "..."`: one-line summary
//!
//! On a struct, or on an enum variant. `{name}` inserts a field, `{0}` a tuple field, `{#}`
//! the number of elements (on types with `items`), and `{{` and `}}` are literal braces.
//! Summaries may use hidden fields. Each inserted field
//! shows the debugger's own one-line rendering of it, so a field that is itself
//! `Debuggable` shows its summary.
//!
//! ```
//! # use debuggable::Debuggable;
//! #[derive(Debuggable)]
//! #[debuggable(summary = "({x}, {y})")]
//! pub struct Point { pub x: i32, pub y: i32 }
//!
//! #[derive(Debuggable)]
//! #[debuggable(summary = "{0} m")]
//! pub struct Meters(pub f64);
//!
//! #[derive(Debuggable)]
//! pub enum Shape {
//!     #[debuggable(summary = "circle r={radius} at {center}")]
//!     Circle { center: Point, radius: Meters },
//!     Empty,
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! A circle then shows as `circle r=2.5 m at (1, 2)`. On an enum, put `summary` on each
//! variant; variants without one show their name.
//!
//! ## `hide`: leave a field out
//!
//! ```
//! # use debuggable::Debuggable;
//! #[derive(Debuggable)]
//! pub struct Cache {
//!     pub hits: u64,
//!     #[debuggable(hide)]
//!     generation: u32,
//!     _marker: std::marker::PhantomData<*const ()>, // hidden automatically
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! ## `rename = "..."`: show a field under another name
//!
//! ```
//! # use debuggable::Debuggable;
//! #[derive(Debuggable)]
//! pub struct Account {
//!     #[debuggable(rename = "balance_pence")]
//!     balance: i64,
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! ## `items` and `len = "field"`: show a collection's elements
//!
//! On one field per struct. The field's elements are shown as `[0]`, `[1]`, ... after the
//! other fields, in place of the field itself.
//!
//! - On a `Vec<T>`: shows its elements. With `len`, at most that many.
//! - On an array `[T; N]` stored in the struct (an inline buffer): shows its elements. With
//!   `len`, at most that many.
//! - On a `*const T`, `*mut T` or `NonNull<T>`: `len` is required and gives the count.
//!
//! Elements of type `MaybeUninit<T>` or `ManuallyDrop<T>` are shown as `T`. Only the first
//! `len` of them are read, so give `len` whenever some slots may be uninitialized.
//!
//! ```
//! # use debuggable::Debuggable;
//! # use std::ptr::NonNull;
//! #[derive(Debuggable)]
//! #[debuggable(summary = "{len} items")]
//! pub struct Stack<T> {
//!     #[debuggable(items, len = "len")]
//!     slots: Vec<Option<T>>,   // only the first `len` slots are in use
//!     #[debuggable(hide)]
//!     len: usize,
//! }
//!
//! #[derive(Debuggable)]
//! pub struct RawParts {
//!     #[debuggable(items, len = "len")]
//!     ptr: NonNull<u16>,
//!     len: usize,
//! }
//!
//! #[derive(Debuggable)]
//! pub struct Inline<T, const N: usize> {
//!     #[debuggable(items, len = "len")]
//!     buf: [std::mem::MaybeUninit<T>; N],
//!     len: usize,
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! At most 10,000 elements are shown.
//!
//! ## `only` and `value`: slot collections
//!
//! Options for `items` on collections whose slots may be vacant, such as slab, arena or slot
//! map types. `only` keeps the elements that match, and `value` shows a field of each kept
//! element instead of the whole slot. Kept elements keep their index as their label, so
//! `[3]` is still slot 3.
//!
//! - `only = "Variant"`: elements that are enums, in that variant.
//! - `only = "field"` or `only = "field & mask"`: elements whose integer or `bool` field is
//!   non-zero, or has a bit of `mask` set. The path may go through fields: `"meta.flags & 0x4"`.
//! - `value = "path"`: a field of the element, or of the variant chosen by `only`; through
//!   unions too. `MaybeUninit` and `ManuallyDrop` are unwrapped.
//!
//! ```
//! # use debuggable::Debuggable;
//! # use std::mem::ManuallyDrop;
//! enum Entry<T> { Vacant(usize), Occupied(T) }
//!
//! #[derive(Debuggable)]
//! #[debuggable(summary = "{len} items")]
//! pub struct Slab<T> {
//!     #[debuggable(items, only = "Occupied", value = "0")]
//!     entries: Vec<Entry<T>>,
//!     #[debuggable(hide)]
//!     len: usize,
//! }
//!
//! union SlotUnion<T> { value: ManuallyDrop<T>, next_free: u32 }
//! struct Slot<T> { u: SlotUnion<T>, version: u32 } // odd version = occupied
//!
//! #[derive(Debuggable)]
//! #[debuggable(summary = "{num_elems} items")]
//! pub struct SlotMap<V> {
//!     #[debuggable(items, only = "version & 1", value = "u.value")]
//!     slots: Vec<Slot<V>>,
//!     #[debuggable(hide)]
//!     num_elems: u32,
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! A slab holding "a" in slot 1 and "d" in slot 3 then shows as
//! `2 items = {[1] = "a", [3] = "d"}`. Names inside the element type can't be checked at
//! compile time; a misspelled variant shows `<only: no variant ...>` in the debugger.
//!
//! ## `items = "path"` on the type: inline-or-heap collections
//!
//! For types whose elements live in one of several places, such as small-vector types that
//! move from an inline buffer to the heap. On the struct or enum, each
//! `#[debuggable(items = "path", len = "path")]` names one place the elements can be. The
//! first one whose paths exist in the current value is shown. A path segment can name an enum
//! variant, and then only leads somewhere while that variant is active. Paths start at the
//! type: on an enum, at a variant.
//!
//! ```
//! # use debuggable::Debuggable;
//! # use std::{marker::PhantomData, mem::MaybeUninit, ptr::NonNull};
//! # pub trait Array { type Item; }
//! # impl<T, const N: usize> Array for [T; N] { type Item = T; }
//! enum SmallVecData<A: Array> {
//!     Inline(MaybeUninit<A>),
//!     Heap { ptr: NonNull<A::Item>, len: usize },
//! }
//!
//! #[derive(Debuggable)]
//! #[debuggable(summary = "{#} items")]
//! #[debuggable(items = "data.Inline.0", len = "capacity")]  // inline: `capacity` is the length
//! #[debuggable(items = "data.Heap.ptr", len = "data.Heap.len")]
//! pub struct SmallVec<A: Array> {
//!     #[debuggable(hide)]
//!     capacity: usize,
//!     #[debuggable(hide)]
//!     data: SmallVecData<A>,
//!     _marker: PhantomData<A::Item>,
//! }
//!
//! #[derive(Debuggable)]
//! #[debuggable(items = "Inline.0", len = "Inline.1")]
//! #[debuggable(items = "Heap.0")]
//! pub enum TinyVec<T> {
//!     #[debuggable(summary = "{#} items (inline)")]
//!     Inline(#[debuggable(hide)] [T; 4], #[debuggable(hide)] u16),
//!     #[debuggable(summary = "{#} items")]
//!     Heap(#[debuggable(hide)] Vec<T>),
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! Either way, three elements show as `3 items = {[0] = 1, [1] = 2, [2] = 3}`. The first
//! segment of each path is checked at compile time; deeper ones can't be, and if no place
//! matches, the debugger shows `<items: no alternative matched>`.
//!
//! ## `text`: show bytes as a string
//!
//! On any number of fields. The field's bytes are shown as a string literal, as UTF-8:
//! `"hello"`. Escapes follow Rust's `{:?}` for strings (`\n`, `\"`, `\0`), and bytes that
//! aren't valid UTF-8 show as `\xNN`, so nothing is lost. Takes the same sources as `items`,
//! with elements of one byte: `[u8; N]`, `[MaybeUninit<u8>; N]`, `Vec<u8>`, or a pointer with
//! `len`. With `hide`, the field gets no row of its own but a summary can still show it.
//!
//! ```
//! # use debuggable::Debuggable;
//! # use std::mem::MaybeUninit;
//! #[derive(Debuggable)]
//! #[debuggable(summary = "{buf}")]
//! pub struct InlineString<const N: usize> {
//!     #[debuggable(text, len = "len", hide)]
//!     buf: [MaybeUninit<u8>; N],
//!     #[debuggable(hide)]
//!     len: u8,
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! An `InlineString` holding "hello" then shows as just `"hello"`, like a `String`. At most
//! 1,024 bytes are read; LLDB leaves out trailing NUL bytes.
//!
//! # Compile errors
//!
//! Every mistake is a compile error pointing at the attribute, with suggestions for typos:
//!
//! ```compile_fail
//! # use debuggable::Debuggable;
//! #[derive(Debuggable)]
//! #[debuggable(summary = "{lenght} items")] // did you mean `length`?
//! pub struct Stack { length: usize }
//! ```
//!
//! # Generics, enums, and dependencies
//!
//! Generic types work for every instantiation. Enums work with any layout, including
//! niche-optimised ones (for example, an enum whose data variant holds a `String`). Types from
//! dependency crates work in the final binary like your own.
//!
//! # Cost, and opting out
//!
//! About 300 bytes per derived type in the final binary, plus a 5 KB GDB runtime once per
//! Linux binary: data in a section that only debuggers read. On Windows nothing is emitted
//! (not supported yet). Build with `RUSTFLAGS="--cfg debuggable_disable"` to emit nothing
//! anywhere.
//!
//! # Limitations
//!
//! - Types defined inside function bodies are not matched by the debugger
//!   (`cargo debuggable doctor <binary>` points them out).
//! - Summaries refer to fields by name only: no expressions or format specs.
//! - Windows (Natvis) is not supported yet.
//!
//! See the [repository](https://github.com/tommantonclery/debuggable) for the compatibility table and
//! troubleshooting.
