gen-nested-iter-yield 0.1.3

//! gen-nested-iter-yield exports a helper macro, nested_iter_yield, which can be used to
//! generate n-nested for loops over identical iterators. This is useful for generating a
//! stream of permutations with replacement without storing unnecessary intermediary buffers.
//!
//! The macro returns a [genawaiter::sync](https://docs.rs/genawaiter/latest/genawaiter/sync/index.html)
//! generator which, when the feature `futures03` is enabled, implements [futures::stream::Stream](https://docs.rs/futures/0.3.21/futures/stream/index.html).

/// Creates an n-nested for loop of iterators over the passed input. Assumes that the first
/// argument can be called multiple times to produce identical iterators.
///
/// ## Usage
/// ### Basic syntax
/// `nested_iter_yield!(iterable_name, 3)`
///
/// ### Dereference values from vector iterable
/// `nested_iter_yield!(vector_name.iter(), 3, *)`
///
/// The third argument is optional. Here `*` is prefixed to each result of the iterator. Any value
/// passed as the third argument that does not begin with a `.` will be prefixed to each result
/// of the iterator.
///
/// ### Clone values from vector iterable
///
/// `nested_iter_yield!(vector_name.iter(), 3, .clone())`
///
/// Here `.clone()` is appended to each result of the iterator. Any value that begins with `.` will
/// be treated as a postfix.
///
/// ### Prefix genawaiter exports
///
/// When the source library does not have `genawaiter` as a dependency, e.g. because this
/// helper macro is being used in a library, it is sometimes necessary to prefix the
/// reference to `genawaiter`. This is done with a fourth argument, as such:
///
/// `nested_iter_yield!(vector_name.iter(), 3, .to_owned(), package_name::)`
