//! This crate provides the `duplicate` attribute macro for
//! code duplication with substitution.
//!
//! # Usage
//!
//! Say you have a trait with a method `is_max` that should return `true` if the
//! value of the object is the maximum allowed and `false` otherwise:
//! ```
//! trait IsMax {
//! fn is_max(&self) -> bool;
//! }
//! ```
//! You would like to implement this trait for the three integer types `u8`,
//! `u16`, and `u32`:
//!
//! ```
//! # trait IsMax {fn is_max(&self) -> bool;}
//! impl IsMax for u8 {
//! fn is_max(&self) -> bool {
//! *self == 255
//! }
//! }
//! impl IsMax for u16 {
//! fn is_max(&self) -> bool {
//! *self == 65_535
//! }
//! }
//! impl IsMax for u32 {
//! fn is_max(&self) -> bool {
//! *self == 4_294_967_295
//! }
//! }
//! ```
//! This is a lot of repetition. Only the type and the maximum value are
//! actually different between the three implementations. This might not be much
//! in our case, but imagine doing this for all the integer types (10, as of the
//! last count.) We can use the `duplicate` attribute to avoid repeating
//! ourselves:
//!
//! ```
//! # trait IsMax {fn is_max(&self) -> bool;}
//! use duplicate::duplicate;
//! #[duplicate(
//! int_type max_value;
//! [ u8 ] [ 255 ];
//! [ u16 ] [ 65_535 ];
//! [ u32 ] [ 4_294_967_295 ];
//! )]
//! impl IsMax for int_type {
//! fn is_max(&self) -> bool {
//! *self == max_value
//! }
//! }
//!
//! assert!(!42u8.is_max());
//! assert!(!42u16.is_max());
//! assert!(!42u32.is_max());
//! ```
//! The above code will expand to the three implementations before it.
//! The attribute invocation specifies that the following item should be
//! substituted by three duplicates of itself. Additionally, each occurrence of
//! the identifier `int_type` in the first duplicate should be replaced by `u8`,
//! in the second duplicate by `u16`, and in the last by `u32`. Likewise, each
//! occurrence of `max_value` should be replaced by `255`, `65_535`, and
//! `4_294_967_295` in the first, second, and third duplicates respectively.
//!
//! `int_type` and `max_value` are called _substitution identifiers_, while `[
//! u8 ]`, `[ u16 ]`, and `[ u32 ]` are each _substitutions_ for `int_type`. The
//! number of duplicates made is equal to the number of substitutions the
//! substitution identifiers have---all identifiers must have the same number of
//! substitutions. Substitution identifiers must be valid Rust identifiers.
//!
//! The code inside substitutions can be arbitrary, as long as the expanded code
//! is valid. Additionally, any "bracket" type is valid; we could have used `()`
//! or `{}` anywhere `[]` is used in these examples.
//!
//! ## Verbose Syntax
//!
//! The syntax used in the previous examples is the _short syntax_.
//! `duplicate` also accepts a _verbose syntax_ that is less concise, but more
//! powerful. Using the verbose syntax, the above usage looks like this:
//! ```
//! # trait IsMax {fn is_max(&self) -> bool;}
//! use duplicate::duplicate;
//! #[duplicate(
//! [
//! int_type [ u8 ]
//! max_value [ 255 ]
//! ]
//! [
//! int_type [ u16 ]
//! max_value [ 65_535 ]
//! ]
//! [
//! int_type [ u32 ]
//! max_value [ 4_294_967_295 ]
//! ]
//! )]
//! impl IsMax for int_type {
//! fn is_max(&self) -> bool {
//! *self == max_value
//! }
//! }
//!
//! # assert!(!42u8.is_max());
//! # assert!(!42u16.is_max());
//! # assert!(!42u32.is_max());
//! ```
//! The verbose syntax is centered around the _substitution group_, which then
//! includes a set of identifier and substitution pairs. Here is an annotated
//! version of the same code:
//! ```
//! # trait IsMax {fn is_max(&self) -> bool;}
//! # use duplicate::duplicate;
//! #[duplicate(
//! [ //-+
//! int_type [ u8 ] // | Substitution group 1
//! max_value [ 255 ] // |
//! // ^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^ substitution |
//! // | |
//! // substitution identifier |
//! ] //-+
//! [ //-+
//! int_type [ u16 ] // | Substitution group 2
//! max_value [ 65_535 ] // |
//! ] //-+
//! [ //-+
//! max_value [ 4_294_967_295 ] // | Substitution group 3
//! int_type [ u32 ] // |
//! ] //-+
//! )]
//! # impl IsMax for int_type {
//! # fn is_max(&self) -> bool {
//! # *self == max_value
//! # }
//! # }
//! #
//! # assert!(!42u8.is_max());
//! # assert!(!42u16.is_max());
//! # assert!(!42u32.is_max());
//! ```
//! Note that in each substitution group every identifier must have exactly one
//! substitution. Any number of groups can be given with each translating to one
//! duplicate. All the groups must have the exact same identifiers, though the
//! order in which they arrive in each group is not important. For example, in
//! the annotated example, the third group has the `max_value` identifier before
//! `int_type` without having any effect on the expanded code.
//!
//! The short syntax's substitution grouping is based on the order of the
//! substitutions for each identifier. We can annotate the short version of our
//! example to highlight this:
//! ```
//! # trait IsMax {fn is_max(&self) -> bool;}
//! # use duplicate::duplicate;
//! #[duplicate(
//! int_type max_value;
//! [ u8 ] [ 255 ]; // Group 1
//! [ u16 ] [ 65_535 ]; // Group 2
//! [ u32 ] [ 4_294_967_295 ];// Group 3
//! )]
//! # impl IsMax for int_type {
//! # fn is_max(&self) -> bool {
//! # *self == max_value
//! # }
//! # }
//! #
//! # assert!(!42u8.is_max());
//! # assert!(!42u16.is_max());
//! # assert!(!42u32.is_max());
//! ```
//! The verbose syntax is not very concise but it some advantages over
//! the shorter syntax:
//!
//! - Using many identifiers and long substitutions can quickly become unwieldy
//! in the short
//! syntax. The verbose syntax deals better with both as it will grow
//! horizontally instead of vertically.
//! - It offers something the short syntax doesn't: nested invocation.
//!
//! ### Nested Invocation
//!
//! Imagine we have the following trait with the method `is_negative` that
//! should return `true` if the value of the object is negative and `false`
//! otherwise:
//! ```
//! trait IsNegative {
//! fn is_negative(&self) -> bool;
//! }
//! ```
//! We want to implement this for the six integer types `u8`, `u16`, `u32`,
//! `i8`, `i16`, and `i32`. For the first three types, which are all unsigned,
//! the implementation of this trait should trivially return `false` as they
//! can't be negative. However, for the remaining, signed types their
//! implementations is identical (checking whether they are less than `0`), but,
//! of course, different from the first three:
//! ```
//! # trait IsNegative { fn is_negative(&self) -> bool;}
//! impl IsNegative for u8 {
//! fn is_negative(&self) -> bool {
//! false
//! }
//! }
//! impl IsNegative for u16 {
//! fn is_negative(&self) -> bool {
//! false
//! }
//! }
//! impl IsNegative for u32 {
//! fn is_negative(&self) -> bool {
//! false
//! }
//! }
//! impl IsNegative for i8 {
//! fn is_negative(&self) -> bool {
//! *self < 0
//! }
//! }
//! impl IsNegative for i16 {
//! fn is_negative(&self) -> bool {
//! *self < 0
//! }
//! }
//! impl IsNegative for i32 {
//! fn is_negative(&self) -> bool {
//! *self < 0
//! }
//! }
//! # assert!(!42u8.is_negative());
//! # assert!(!42u16.is_negative());
//! # assert!(!42u32.is_negative());
//! # assert!(!42i8.is_negative());
//! # assert!(!42i16.is_negative());
//! # assert!(!42i32.is_negative());
//! ```
//! Notice how the code repetition is split over 2 axes: 1) They all implement
//! the same trait 2) the method implementations of the first 3 are identical to
//! each other but different to the next 3, which are also mutually identical.
//! To implement this using only the syntax we have already seen, we could do
//! something like this:
//! ```
//! # trait IsNegative { fn is_negative(&self) -> bool;}
//! # use duplicate::duplicate;
//! #[duplicate(
//! [
//! int_type [ u8 ]
//! implementation [ false ]
//! ]
//! [
//! int_type [ u16 ]
//! implementation [ false ]
//! ]
//! [
//! int_type [ u32 ]
//! implementation [ false ]
//! ]
//! [
//! int_type [ i8 ]
//! implementation [ *self < 0 ]
//! ]
//! [
//! int_type [ i16 ]
//! implementation [ *self < 0 ]
//! ]
//! [
//! int_type [ i32 ]
//! implementation [ *self < 0 ]
//! ]
//! )]
//! impl IsNegative for int_type {
//! fn is_negative(&self) -> bool {
//! implementation
//! }
//! }
//!
//! assert!(!42u8.is_negative());
//! assert!(!42u16.is_negative());
//! assert!(!42u32.is_negative());
//! assert!(!42i8.is_negative());
//! assert!(!42i16.is_negative());
//! assert!(!42i32.is_negative());
//! ```
//! However ironically, we here had to repeat ourselves in the macro invocation
//! instead of the code: we needed to repeat the implementations `[ false ]` and
//! `[ *self < 0 ]` three times each. Using verbose syntax we can utilize
//! _nested invocation_ to remove the last bit of repetition:
//!
//! ```
//! # trait IsNegative { fn is_negative(&self) -> bool;}
//! # use duplicate::duplicate;
//! #[duplicate(
//! #[
//! int_type_nested; [u8]; [u16]; [u32]
//! ][
//! [
//! int_type [ int_type_nested ]
//! implementation [ false ]
//! ]
//! ]
//! #[
//! int_type_nested; [i8]; [i16]; [i32]
//! ][
//! [
//! int_type [ int_type_nested ]
//! implementation [ *self < 0 ]
//! ]
//! ]
//! )]
//! impl IsNegative for int_type {
//! fn is_negative(&self) -> bool {
//! implementation
//! }
//! }
//!
//! assert!(!42u8.is_negative());
//! assert!(!42u16.is_negative());
//! assert!(!42u32.is_negative());
//! assert!(!42i8.is_negative());
//! assert!(!42i16.is_negative());
//! assert!(!42i32.is_negative());
//! ```
//!
//! We use `#` to invoke the macro inside itself, producing duplicates
//! of the code inside the following `[]`, `{}`, or `()`.
//! In our example, we have 2 invocations that each produce 3 groups, inserting
//! the correct `implementation` for their signed or unsigned types.
//! The above nested invocation is equivalent to the previous, non-nested
//! invocation, and actually expands to it as an intermediate step before
//! expanding the outer-most invocation.
//!
//! It's important to notice that the nested invocation doesn't know it
//! isn't the outer-most invocation and therefore doesn't discriminate between
//! identifiers. We had to use a different identifier in the nested invocations
//! (`int_type_nested`) than in the code (`int_type`), because otherwise the
//! nested invocation would substitute the substitution identifier, too, instead
//! of only substituting in the nested invocation's substitute.
//!
//! Nested invocation is only possible when using verbose syntax.
//! Additionally, the nested invocations must produce verbose syntax of their
//! parent invocation. However, each nested invocation's private syntax is free
//! to use the short version. Notice in our above example, the nested
//! invocations use short syntax but produce verbose syntax for the outer-most
//! invocation.
//!
//! There is no limit on the depth of nesting, however, as might be clear from
//! our example, it can get complicated to read. Additionally, the syntax used
//! in any invocation that includes a nested invocation must be verbose.
//!
//! Lastly, we should note that we can have nested invocations interleaved with
//! normal substution groups. For example, say we want to implement `IsNegative`
//! for `i8`, but don't want the same for `i16` and `i32`. We could do the
//! following:
//!
//! ```
//! # trait IsNegative { fn is_negative(&self) -> bool;}
//! # use duplicate::duplicate;
//! #[duplicate(
//! #[ // -+
//! int_type_nested; [u8]; [u16]; [u32] // |
//! ][ // |
//! [ // | Nested invocation producing 3
//! int_type [ int_type_nested ] // | substitution groups
//! implementation [ false ] // |
//! ] // |
//! ] // -+
//! [ // -+
//! int_type [ i8 ] // | Substitution group 4
//! implementation [ *self < 0 ] // |
//! ] // -+
//! )]
//! impl IsNegative for int_type {
//! fn is_negative(&self) -> bool {
//! implementation
//! }
//! }
//!
//! # assert!(!42u8.is_negative());
//! # assert!(!42u16.is_negative());
//! # assert!(!42u32.is_negative());
//! # assert!(!42i8.is_negative());
//! ```
//!
//! # Disclaimer
//!
//! This crate does not try to justify or condone the usage of code duplication
//! instead of proper abstractions.
//! This macro should only be used where it is not possible to reduce code
//! duplication through other means, or where it simply is not worth it.
//!
//! As an example, libraries that have two or more structs/traits with similar
//! APIs might use this macro to test them without having to copy-paste test
//! cases and manually make the needed edits.
