Module :: proc_macro_tools

Tools for writing procedural macroses.

Basic use-case.

#[ cfg( not( feature = "no_std" ) ) ]
{
  use macro_tools::*;

  let code = qt!( core::option::Option< i8, i16, i32, i64 > );
  let tree_type = syn::parse2::< syn::Type >( code ).unwrap();
  let got = type_parameters( &tree_type, 0..=2 );
  got.iter().for_each( | e | println!( "{}", qt!( #e ) ) );
  /* print :
    i8
    i16
    i32
  */
}

Macros

• Token
  A type-macro that expands to the name of the Rust type representation of a given token.
• braced
  Parse a set of curly braces and expose their content to subsequent parsers.
• bracketed
  Parse a set of square brackets and expose their content to subsequent parsers.
