fake_inheritance 0.2.1

//! A little utility macro for a "faked" inheritance.
//! It generates shortcuts from the inner struct's fields to the parent struct,
//! to make the access of these fields easier to use. But with minimal effort.
#![no_std]

/// Input of this macro follows: (parent_struct_name, field_name_for_inner_struct, fields = [
/// field_name: field_type; ...]) (The ... indicates that the pattern can be used infinitely).
/// For the macro to use the inner struct's accesor functions (e. g `inner.a()`); use
/// "fields = [f(field_name): field_type; ...]" 
///
/// # Examples
/// ```rust,ignore
/// #[macro_use]
/// extern crate fake_inheritance;
/// 
/// struct Inner {
///    a: i32, b: i32
/// }
///
/// struct Parent { inner: Inner }
///
/// fake_inheritance!(Parent, inner, fields = [a: i32; b: i32;]);
///
/// let parent = Parent { inner: Inner { a: 1, b: 2 }}; 
/// assert_eq!(parent.a(), 1);
/// assert_eq!(parent.b(), 2);
/// ```
