# Overview
This project provides simulation of anonymous struct and named arguments in
Rust, using proc macros `structx!{}`, `Structx!{}`, `#[named_args]` and
`args!{}`.
## Usage of this crate
Add the following in your Cargo.toml file:
```toml
[dependencies]
structx = "0.1"
[build-dependencies]
inwelling = "0.5"
[package.metadata.inwelling]
structx = true
```
Add the following in your build.rs file:
```rust
inwelling::to( "structx" );
```
Add the following in your .rs files:
```rust
use structx::*;
```
If you want to use named arguments, add the following:
```rust
use structx::named_args::*;
```
# Definitions and notations of anonymous structs
Anonymous structs are `struct`s without the needs of providing struct names.
However, the field names are mandatory. Anonymous structs are of the same type
if and only if they are composed of the same set of field names. The order of
fields are irrelevant.
## Value of anonymous structs
The notation of an anonymous struct's value is `structx!{}`.
## Examples of anonymous struct's values
```rust
let foo = structx!{ i: 3, b: true };
let bar = structx!{ x, y };
```
## Type of anonymous structs
The notation of an anonymous struct's type is `Structx!{}`.
## Examples of anonymous struct's types
```rust
fn foo( x: i32, y: i32 ) -> Structx!{ x: i32, y: i32 } {
structx!{ x, y: y+1 }
}
```
## Traits derived for anonymous structs
Clone, Copy, Debug, Default, PartialEq, Eq, PartialOrd, Ord, Hash.
```rust
let a = structx!{ width : 800, height: 600 };
let b = structx!{ height: 600, width : 800 };
let c = structx!{ width : 1024, height: 768 };
assert_eq!( a, b );
assert_ne!( a, c );
```
# Simulation of named arguments
At definition site, add attributes `#[named_args]` to functions.
```rust
#[named_args]
fn set_size( width: u32, height: u32 ) { todo!() }
```
At call site, wrap arguments with `args!{}`.
```rust
set_size( args!{ width: 1024, height: 768 });
```
